Level Up - The Podcast For Realtors

022 - Level Up Your Listing Presentation

It's about time you gave your listing presentation a good look. Forget the templates, put the scripts aside for a second - you've got to take a moment to understand the things you have to do NOW to get your approach in gear.

Every realtor is different, so presentations to prospective clients shouldn't be the same. The process that goes into it, the structure behind it, and the best ways to deliver it though, will be the difference between getting the listing and losing it.

In this episode of Level Up, we walk you through the most important things to do when preparing your listing presentation. From understanding objectives, to appropriate preparation, to dealing with tough objections - you can't afford to skip this one.

021 - Announcement and 'So You Wanna Be A Podcaster?'

We've got a big announcement to start the show...but that's not all.

Learn what's happening with podcast, and then stay a while, because 21 episodes in, we'll be dropping some 'pro tips' (we use that loosely) for all of you who have been thinking about starting your own podcast, or vlog, or anything, and want a little kickstart. We've taken in a lot over the last six months, and as we keep growing this thing, it's about time we share some of what we've learned.

Remember, come for the announcement, stay for the sweet podcastin' science.

Be safe everyone!

020 - Let's just talk

We're over a month into the COVID-19 home isolation, and it's time to just talk it out for a day.

There are four separate little school schedules to stickhandle, days have become weeks, and it is important that we share the good, bad and ugly with each other. This isn't for the sake of a bitching session, but a real 'we're in this together' message for everyone who has their own frustrations and struggles with the global crisis has affected us all.

Don't worry, it isn't a doom and gloom episode, we have some fun with it :)

Stay safe.

019 - COVID-19 Coping with kids

It has been a month, and many parents are starting to reach a breaking point with their kids. Perhaps some reached that point a while ago.

Katie and Daniel talk about how they have been spending their 'home time' with their four kids, and discuss some of the ways they have used this crisis to actually bring some benefit. They discuss their routine, their communication strategies, and how to actually get some alone time when self-isolation actually starts to feel crowded.

If you're trying to see some of the ways to make the best of a tough situation, have a listen (you've got the time)

Let's have a real talk about your social media.

There are no 12 step programs or templates here, just a discussion about what you're actually doing on your social media, and how you can do it more effectively.

We break down some of the big mistakes people make when they are sharing and engaging with social feeds. Anything sound familiar? Anything you'd like to add? Reach out and let us know!

014 - What Type of Salesperson Are You?

In an age where there are endless ways to sell yourself and your product, often we try to be all things to all people.

In an interesting study, four distinct archetypes of salesperson have been identified. Figuring out where you fit in your own salesperson profile can really help with your ability to work efficiently and to CLOSE MORE DEALS.

What type are you?

013 - Starting Before You're Ready

Everyone has dreams and ideas that they push away or dismiss because they don't feel like they're ready.

The truth is, you'll NEVER be ready. You can do all the research in the world and all of that effort usually leads people to deciding that their idea isn't good enough to try.

Here's a tip - start before you are ready. Give it a shot. What's the worst thing that will happen? If the worst thing that happens is that you learn and move on, then start now and don't look back. You either succeed or your learn - there's no failing here. You can talk yourself out of anything so give yourself a dose of optimism and take the chance. Not only will you grow stronger through the process, you will inspire others to put themselves out there and try something new as well. So make the choice - live your life with regrets or live a life filled with new opportunities, exciting changes and lessons learned along the way.

It's up to you.
