Starting Again
I’ve been getting a lot of nudges to start up the Sunday Snip-Its again. For those of you that are newer to the team. Last year I emailed weekly thoughts, ideas, notes and quotes from great content I consume weekly. Each week is a little different. Some of the connect connects directly to business, other content is just for fun. I started sharing my thoughts and notes with the leadership team in hopes that they would pick out little nuggets that would move the needle in their lives and keep us connected during COVID. COVID restriction may have gone and it may not be as needed, but I hope you find value or fun in the notes I share 😊.
Praying for RAIN!
It’s so dang hot and so dang dry! As we walked around the ranch today I really felt it looked more like an Arizona desert than a Hill Country ranch ☹. The photo on the left is from today the ones of the right were from 2020 and 2021.
As I was comparing my photos it came to mind the irony before me. We bought the ranch in a season of uncertainty but became abundance. Ironically not only are we feeling the drought at the ranch but we are starting to see signs of much dryer weather in business. Like the ranch, things in the market are starting to look different, real estate is behaving differently…
And we have to start behaving differently. What behaviors, disciplines and tasks do you need to do differently in this dryer season?
Notes that Resonated:
What problem do you solve for your ideal customer? Are you clear on that? If you customer clear on that?
Know exactly where you want to get to: How many sales do you need a day, how many leads and appointments do you need to make to be successful
organized people have a specific place for everything
You can’t get anywhere without a list, (sales list, customer list, prospect list, target list)
Waiting until the perfect time keeps you in last place
Sales always pays you your worth
If you want to be valuable add value to others
If you want to feel valuable add value to others
