Daily RICHual 79: Getting a Handle on Your Strengths

What’s interesting about our strengths is the SUBjectivity that swirls around them. First, without significant self-awareness you might not know them and with significant lack of self esteem, you might not think you have any or many. Then, there’s those pesky other people on the planet, they may see you differently than you see you. So how do you figure it all out and come to some sort of accurate… Read More »Daily RICHual 79: Getting a Handle on Your Strengths

Social Distancing? Books, Books, Books! My Top 20.

In this time of social distancing, some of us have taken to reading. SO, just in case you might need a recommendation or two (or more) here are my twenty favorite books of all time. This was tough, by the way,  because I like A LOT of books. Now, understand that I do not read mysteries, romance, sci-fi or most any fiction. I mostly read non-fiction/get better at what you do… Read More »Social Distancing? Books, Books, Books! My Top 20.

CRS Sell-A-Bration 2020 Recap

  • by

I love conferences/conventions. I love the buzz in the air, I love the great mood most everyone seems to dwell in. Mostly, as a speaker, I love that they rarely get cancelled (only mildly self-serving). I also love when hundreds of like-minded, excellence driven, ready to grow agents get together to expand upon what they do and how they do it. Shoutout to the whole team at RRC in Chicago… Read More »CRS Sell-A-Bration 2020 Recap

Daily RICHual #9 . Being a Better Listener

We spend a ton of our lives in conversations. We talk, we listen. Or do we? How good of a listener are you? AND would it be valuable to get better at it? According to those in the know, the best listening is called active listening and it is defined as listening with the intent to understand. It, like empathy, is OTHER oriented. So in the interest of everyone who… Read More »Daily RICHual #9 . Being a Better Listener

Daily RICHual #5 Visual Presentations

Two days ago while teaching a technology class to a room full of Realtors, one rolled up when we were finished and said, I really liked your slides. The visuals were great and REALLY anchored the points you were making. BOOM. Mission accomplished. Anyone doing any kind of a presentation for whomever, MUST understand the power of the visual.

Dealing with Deadlock

There comes a time in many negotiations when progress halts and deadlock ensues.  Several things happen when deadlock happens and if you know what they are, and what to do about them, success can be the result. And we all like that, right? One problem, of course, is when people involved in a negotiation become unmotivated. In a world where buyers want to buy and sellers want to sell, if… Read More »Dealing with Deadlock

Two Great Times to Explain Aging in Place

In 2010, my wife Linda and I, discarded the chains of a 3500 square foot home and embraced the practicality of downsizing. For us, the decision wasn’t easy as we were still young and vibrant (well, maybe not as vibrant as we’d like), and had plans for future moves. Nine years later, we’re still here. I mention this because many of you have not taken the SRES (Senior Real Estate… Read More »Two Great Times to Explain Aging in Place

S.U.P.P.? 4 Steps to an Awesome Sales Presentation

A great number of salespeople believe that the presentation is where you dump your stuff, dazzle the consumer, grab the sale. That kind of self-focused delivery, more than likely, MIGHT get you the gig. Most often, however, you’ll either come up short or create issues further down the line with your self-focused lecture. What can you do instead? For starters you could look at the presentation as an opportunity to… Read More »S.U.P.P.? 4 Steps to an Awesome Sales Presentation

Ready For The Listing Season?

  • by

Sitting at my desk, contemplating this afternoon’s course at the Northern Colorado Realtor Summit, Creating Listing Abundance. While I’m not concerned about the content and I am not shuffling through slides for the 473rd time (only up to 306th), I’m wondering how many agents will be wise enough to respond to the possibility of learning a little more about this so, so relevant topic. My first Broker told me that “you have… Read More »Ready For The Listing Season?
