2024 is around the corner, and you and your team need to stay focused and motivated for what’s coming!
How can you ensure engagement at this time of year, when everybody has their mind on the holidays?
Winter tends to be a slower time for real estate, but this only means that we, as leaders, need to pay extra attention and work harder to keep motivation.
In this Team Building Podcast, Jeff is joined by Logan Boyce from Montreal’s Elite Real Estate Group to discuss a winning strategy to stay motivated and start 2024 strong.
The Importance of Staying Focused and Motivated this Holiday
Navigating the holiday season can be challenging for any business, especially in the real estate industry.
Traditionally, this time of year sees a slowdown in activity as people shift their focus to family gatherings, vacations, and festive celebrations.
With fewer sales and an increased workload than in previous years, it’s crucial to keep your team motivated and focused.
So make sure to check on your team, ask how they are doing, and how you can help them foster a more supportive environment this last month of quarter four.
Keep an Eye on Your Team’s Perspective
For us, more seasoned and older real estate leaders, changes and trends in the market are expected, but we have a much different perspective now than when we first started.
It’s important to remember that new agents and younger teams don’t have this perspective and be mindful of the way we approach these changes with them.
For example, every fifteen years or so, fluctuations lead to significant lows in the market. For many new real estate agents, this cyclical pattern is an unexpected event.
But we have learned to navigate this market, so let’s help them change their perspective and learn along the way.
Update and Review to Stay Focused and Motivated
This is a time for self-reflection and improvement; this exercise will review your biggest achievements and moments that could have gone better. By doing this revenue, you motivate yourself and your team to do better.
This is also the time to set new goals, update your knowledge, and change things for the better.
Build Strategies for Success
This is where you build solutions for the next three months and have a plan for every aspect of your business after doing an update and review.
Make sure to consider all the legal requirements and stay compliant with all laws in your state or country.
This includes regulations related to advertising, property disclosures, and data privacy, among others.
Your strategy will make your decision-making easier moving forward.
Trends
Staying updated with the latest trends is a fundamental part of this strategy-building process.
The landscape of lead generation, for instance, has undergone significant changes recently, so make sure to adapt your strategies!
The Basics to Staying Focused and Motivated in 2024
So, once you and your team have reviewed the progress of the last year, have a strong strategy for the next months, and are working to keep your agents motivated, what’s next?
These are Logan’s non-negotiable aspects to focus on right now to make sure your 2024 starts strong and full of motivation and focus.
Be a Good Guide for Agents
Nobody likes to feel like their work is worthless, and one of the most demotivating experiences for agents is feeling like they’re working without seeing tangible results.
To keep them motivated and committed, it’s essential to instill confidence in them and show them that their work can produce real and effective results.
People seek guidance from someone proficient and experienced in the industry. As a leader, you can lay a road map for them to follow, and share your experiences and tips for success with them; make your agents feel their time and effort is worthy.
Know Your Numbers
Having a positive outlook is essential, but to ensure a successful 2024, you must ground your expectations in data.
Understand what’s on the horizon by knowing your numbers for the upcoming year. This involves analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) for both the company as a whole and individual agents.
Having a clear grasp of these figures will allow you to set realistic goals, identify areas of improvement, and track progress throughout the year.
Cut Costs the Right Way
In an effort to improve profitability, it may be tempting to cut costs across the board to start 2024 with some cost savings.
However, some cost-cutting can be counterproductive. Be very careful where you decide to cut costs!
Avoid cutting in critical areas like coaching and lead generation, which directly contribute to your team’s growth and success.
Instead, consider other areas where you can save without compromising quality or effectiveness.
