Own your day as a New Agent / Investor

Jared Threat

Hi BP Community!

I am a newly license real estate salesperson and work a w2. I work remotely for my w2 and have a good autonomy. I am looking for any tips or advice on how to best structure my day, what technology would help stay organized. Overall looking for best practices to avoid false starts.

Thanks,
Jared

 Number one thing that helped me so far is be about action and dont spend so much time planning or trying to get your road map perfect.  I find a lot of people spend a lot of time getting everything organized and planned perfectly when you could have spent the last month closing a few deals.  

Discipline is huge so make a time line list of things to do that will benefit your business.  Examples set 2 hours for prospecting, then another hour for follow ups, another for tasks that need to be completed for nurturing clients. those are a few of the thing to do but mainly pointing out how you can set timelines to dedicate to task that take action on how you can move forward instead of being stagnant.  Make sure you stick with your plan and make adjustments that work for you.

Setting everything up I have found follow up boss CRM worked best for me to organize all my clients. I set up an LLC so I can keep everything separate from personal finances for tax purposes and when you make high enough GCI then you can take advantage of tax advantages. I also try to dedicate about an hour to just thinking out side the box of creative ways to build a lead pipeline (PPC, Divorce Lawyers, Landing pages, Door Knocking, social media ect), that is your business essentially so make sure you create many for yourself so if one dry's up you have a few others to work off of until you can gain another.

These are just some things I wanted to share off the top of my head, hope it helps!
