usp: 2,000 Kitchen Tables
- 05/15/17 06:07 AM
Sitting Down At Over 2,000 Tables Facing often two opposite-personalities, yet both making a decision. I've been in sales for over 30 years. I've attended college courses, read hundreds of sales books, taken many years of sales trainings and continuing education and even worked with business coaches. But none of that is unique. Experienced, loyal, organized, good communicator, great negotiator, skilled problem solver; all true, none of it unique. What is a USP? What is your USP? A USP is your Unique Selling Proposition; those qualities, tools, strategies or guaranteed results you offer that none can duplicate. Better yet, your USP's are your stories, those

usp: Real Estate Is Easy!
- 02/15/17 01:54 PM
When the market is hot, Real Estate looks easy. Maybe real estate is easy and it's people that are hard? The number of agents goes up too! (50% of the licenses out there are not Realtors ie. not NAR members. So not all sales agents are Realtors). Here's the stats: 2013- 1.04 M. NAR agents and 2.08 million total sales people with a license. 2014- 1.10 M. NAR agents and 2,20 million total sales people with a license. 2015- 1.23 M. NAR agents and 2.46 million total sales people with a license. 2016- 1.70 M. NAR agents and 3.40 million total sales people with a license. "at the end

usp: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer... (2 of 2)
- 11/13/16 07:36 AM
Yes, It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer in a Commoditized World! (part 1: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer (1)) For your USP, (Unique Selling Proposition), the answer is not an adjective: “I’m personable”, “I make friends out of clients”, “I’m full-service”, "I’m #1 in ____” or “I close 300- deals per year.” "blah, blah, blah". The answer is not your resume' or these features. Because everyone can say: “I’m full service”, “I’m experienced”, “I’m #1 in something”, “I’m friendly”, “I’m blah, blah, blah!”. More importantly, these have nothing to do with the consumers' concerns. The consumer as a priority,

usp: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer...(1 of 2)
- 11/13/16 07:19 AM
Yes, It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer in a Commoditized World! (part 2: It SUCKS To Be a Top Producer (2)) Consumers see all sales agents and Realtors alike. They have no way of knowing our differences from the outside looking in; we all do the same thing, the same way, so why pay more fees than necessary if the results are the same no matter who you hire? Here’s the problem with that misconception: Not all agents are created equal. Skills, training, experience, personality, commitment, communication skills specifically, tools & tech, areas of expertise, and so on. Also, homes do not have fixed prices, they
