Managing Teams for Profit…and Winning in Real Estate

Football fan or not, you can learn a lot from something the boys do regularly on the gridiron - huddle. That’s where each player learns what his job is and because he knows it, he’s motivated to win.

Here is a key point about teams I want you to remember - the players, your team members, want a plan. They expect a plan and they want to help and contribute. The desire is there. When there is no plan to follow, goals don’t get met, players get frustrated and before you know it, the scoreboard shows a loss.

It is common sense in sports and in real estate to have a plan, communicate it regularly with team members and execute. Yet, in my work as a real estate coach and consultant, I often see agents reluctant to even form a team. I also see plenty of teams without plans or communication. If you’re in real estate to win, you need a team and you need huddles to communicate clearly and regularly. If you don’t, expect fumbles, interceptions and losses.

For additional information and guidance on this topic we have posted an article on our website entitled “Team Got You Befuddled” for you to review.
