About this listen
The vast majority of real estate agents would list and sell more houses if they followed an effective real estate business plan. Unfortunately, most agents are never introduced to the benefits of working from a plan. Those that do want to be guided by a roadmap don't know where and how to begin.
In this easy-to-follow audiobook, 30-year veteran real estate broker Matt Williams will show you how to harness your needs and wants and couple them with your skills and energy to produce better results. Step-by-step, you will learn how to quantify your needs and wants and then translate them into your individual production goals. You will learn how to use systems to work more efficiently, and you will learn how to overcome the downfall of many agents - distractions. Whether you are new to real estate sales or a 25-year veteran, you will benefit from the information in this audiobook.

Excellent for both new and old agents!
I'm making a career change after 30 years and this was a an excellent read and listen (I have both the hard copy and the audible version). Easy to follow relevant advice without too much to drown you. Build a plan, work the plan! Plain and simple! So glad I found this 12 weeks into this new career to set a good foundation!
Oh....did I mention there are sample worksheets too! ;-)
