| business plan for real estate agent: How to Write a Great Business Plan William A. Sahlman, 2008-03-01 Judging by all the hoopla surrounding business plans, you'd think the only things standing between would-be entrepreneurs and spectacular success are glossy five-color charts, bundles of meticulous-looking spreadsheets, and decades of month-by-month financial projections. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, often the more elaborately crafted a business plan, the more likely the venture is to flop. Why? Most plans waste too much ink on numbers and devote too little to information that really matters to investors. The result? Investors discount them. In How to Write a Great Business Plan, William A. Sahlman shows how to avoid this all-too-common mistake by ensuring that your plan assesses the factors critical to every new venture: The people—the individuals launching and leading the venture and outside parties providing key services or important resources The opportunity—what the business will sell and to whom, and whether the venture can grow and how fast The context—the regulatory environment, interest rates, demographic trends, and other forces shaping the venture's fate Risk and reward—what can go wrong and right, and how the entrepreneurial team will respond Timely in this age of innovation, How to Write a Great Business Plan helps you give your new venture the best possible chances for success. |

| business plan for real estate agent: The Social Network Business Plan David Silver, 2009-03-23 All of us know that users of the Web do not read advertisements on the websites we visit, yet the online communities are emerging as the next great media rely solely on this method to produce revenue. In The Social Network Business Plan, social network expert, David Silver presents and explains 18 cutting-edge methods to create revenue for social network websites--none of which are advertising. He also predicts the demise of seemingly successful online communities such as MySpace and Facebook that rely on advertising as non-sustainable modalities. Silver describes and explains that in the future new products and services will be introduced, talked about, rated, reviewed and recommended - or killed - by online communities. One example of the 18 new revenue channels that online communities are adopting is the sale to vendors of anonymized conversations of the community members concerning those vendors' products or services. Another example is online communities who partner with the internet providers to receive payment when a particular online community's information is downloaded usinf that providers service. The other sixteen revenue channels are equally head-turning! Silver is the only angel investor, operating down where the rubber meets the road, who is investing in online communities in their infancy, and writing about which ones will win and which ones will fail. |

| business plan for real estate agent: The Book of Yes Kevin Ward, 2016-01-20 In The Book of YES, you will find the most powerful scripts in the real estate industry today. If you're tired of the same old sales scripts or if you've done away with them all together, I know how you feel because I've been there. I was tired of seeing the same B.S.(bad sales) approaches and I wanted something that felt more natural for me. So I started creating my own scripts, for the simple reason that I hated being told, No. For me nothing was worse than that feeling of rejection. I was determined to figure out the perfect thing to say in every situation, and how to say it in a way that would cause sellers and buyers to want to say Yes! to me every time. This book is the result of that quest. And I've broken it in two unique parts so you can spend less time reading it, and more time using the life changing scripts inside. Part 1 will give you the foundation for making the scripts work for you. Not just some of the time, but every time! You'll master how to inspire sellers to say YES to you giving you the magic key to unlock the success you want as a real estate agent. Part 2 Is the actual scripts that allow you to have smooth, choreographed conversations that lead you down the path to more success and more income. included in this section are... Prospecting scripts for sellers that lead up to the listing appointment. My unique Listing Presentation Scripts with examples of exactly how to deliver them for maximum impact. The Buyer Scripts that I've personally used for years to build my own real estate business from scratch. The Objection scripts that will show you how to overcome any objection with ease and never be scrambling for words when a client throws you a curveball. In all there are 27 scripts in this book that will show you how to handle any situation, conversation, and objection that might come your way. And each script has been tested, tweaked and perfected. How do I know this? Because I've used each and every one of them to close millions of dollars worth of real estate in my nearly 2 decade career. I've also taken the time to include things I've picked up over my career that will help take you beyond the scripts... How to identify resistance and influence triggers so you can naturally use the right words and phrases that gets more clients saying YES to you. My practice techniques for memorizing and using these scripts to their full impact. You won't just be pulling words from your memory, you'll be speaking from the heart so you come across as genuine. The tiny tweaks that turn a regular script into something powerful. These seemingly little differences can have a huge impact in the way a prospect or client responds to what you say. The 9 Keys to more powerful conversations that go way beyond just the words you say to a client. I've mastered all 9 of these techniques and each one has made a huge difference in how I present myself to clients. The Book of YES is an action guide, not a book of theory. Think of it as YOUR PLAY BOOK for the key conversations you have with sellers and buyers. Along with the scripts you will find tactical notes on how to use the script, why it works, and when to modify the script for various situations. This book is not about intimidating your clients to agree with you, it's about inspiring them to say YES. And the more they do, the more abundance and success you will have in your life. The ultimate YES is saying YES to your goals, your dreams and your family so you can create the lifestyle that you want. |
| business plan for real estate agent: Real Estate Marketing Playbook Brandon Doyle, 2018-09-12 Countless marketing books have been written for real estate agents, and for a good reason: to survive in today's challenging economic climate, real estate agents must wear so many hats at once to have a chance at success, and thus need as much help as they can get. While many real-estate marketing books offer a whole-life plan to achieving your goals or attempt to impress you with far-out tactics that may have worked for one person, one time, in a market unlike any other, this book is different. The Real Estate Marketing Playbook was inspired by observations and experiences over many years in the real estate business. Concise chapters get right to the point and offer actionable advice. You'll receive a brief overview of each tactic, learn about best practices, and in most chapters, you'll hear from experts as they chime in on their struggles and successes. This is not to say that the book is merely short; it is merely respectful of your time. Each chapter is its own contained unit. Feel free to flip to any section that intrigues you, or that addresses a situation applicable to you. Keep in mind that it is not humanly possible to implement every idea in this book. Neither is it possible that every concept applies to every real estate agent. Just like your real estate business, every situation is unique. Use common sense to determine if a plan is right for you, your market, and your business. This book is meant to be kept within reach throughout your business day - in the car, in your bag or briefcase, etc. It's a perfect companion when waiting for open houses to begin or for clients to arrive. It's a helpful lunchtime read to keep you in the mindset of innovation and forward movement for your business. Anytime you need a helpful hint or a compelling idea to help boost your current or next marketing project, crack it open; even just flipping it open and reading a chapter at random could spark an idea that skyrockets your real estate business. This book is not for those seeking a shortcut, but for those who are willing to challenge themselves to take advantage of every opportunity to grow their real estate business. |
