Generate Real Estate Leads and Get Your Creative Juices Flowing

I recently read an article by Sir Richard Branson advising to use an unlikely mix of people from different backgrounds, placed in unusual but enjoyable situations to get a “think-tank” of unusual and creative ideas that can work. This beats brain storming on Monday morning with a bland backdrop of filing cabinets, clinking of the coffee cups and the refreshments trolley moving around the office.  

Some Out of The Box Ideas:

To close more real estate deals, think creatively, go to the park and join in with the yoga instructor.  As we all know yoga makes the body more flexible and relax even if you are in a stress stricken environment.  Encourage your staff to practice yoga as well.  Yoga can help them feel happier, peaceful and more energetic.

• 
  
• Travel broadens the mind and it can sharpen your wits to close more deals. Go on a nature trail or climb a mountain or jump onto your speed bike and peddle your way to somewhere and enjoy the journey.  You may also offer free trips to your staff as an incentive for increased productivity.
  
• 
  
• Read that motivational book about flipping your way to millions and read all the blogs about housing on LinkedIn or Twitter so that you are fully attuned to current ideas and can follow on with your own plans.
  
• 
  
• Hear what employees and clients are saying and react to their needs before issues get blown out of proportion.  Also keep up with social media posts so you always know what people are saying and thinking.
  
• 
  
• When calling Sellers have something interesting to talk about.  Make them aware of what’s going on in the Real Estate market these days. Or make them talk in terms of what interest them the most and give some of your insights that will help them realize the importance of why their decision is the right decision.
  
• When dealing with Buyers and Sellers, make sure that the number works and always a win-win.  
  
• 
  
• The Power of focus. Your overall performance depends largely on your ability to focus. Focus is one powerful strategy that every successful businessmen and top performers thrive.  Your 100% focus will help you enjoy more of your time, reduce any stress that you’re experiencing and of course increase your net worth.
  

Don’t ignore the importance of creative thinking out of the box and do use your imagination to stimulate the gray area even if some may think your means a tad eccentric. Do not be afraid to exhaust your ideas until you reach a level that is worthwhile. Remember that any idea can be improved after the initial thoughts. This concept applies to all great products and no one launches into full scale manufacturing without developing a prototype first.
