    We recently conducted a survey asking real estate agents nationwide if they were on track to meet their 2022 goals.

    The results were surprising.

    16.8% said they will surpass their goals. 25.5% said they will meet their goals, 21.7% said they will be within 20% of their goals, but a resounding 36% of agents stated they may not even get close to hitting their goals.

    We Want to Help with the Following Free Resources

    The following are three tools that will help you lay the foundation for some attainable six-month goals and then help you stay on track for the rest of the year.

    As the late Yogi Berra has said, “If You Don’t Want to End up Someplace Else you need to
    know where you’re going”.

    Unless, of course, you want to spend the rest of this year flailing about for leads, clients, and income.

    Therefore, decide on your six-month goal to shoot for achieving by year’s end. Whether that’s a specific GCI or a certain number of closed deals, this goal should define how you run your business for the remainder of the year.

    And, how about making a vow that the journey to that destination is one that you enjoy regardless of where the market goes?

    Learn from the Past and Build for the Future

    To get started, dig out your business plan from the beginning of the year and take time to ask yourself some questions:

    • Did you reach your goals for the first half of the year?
    • If not, why? Were they unrealistic, not clearly defined? Understand why.
    • What is within your power to change so that you hit your year-end goals?

    Then, get clear on how many contacts you need to make to get the closings required to hit your income goal.

    The free One-Page Business Plan is a quick and easy way to figure out what you need to do every week to reach your year-end income goals.

    Just plug in a few easy numbers, and you are pointed to the weekly contacts, listing appointments, and closings needed to make your income goals a reality.

    6 Months of Marketing Strategies Made Simple

    Another survey question that we asked agents was what marketing challenges consumed most of their time on a monthly basis.

    39.5% of these agents stated that “deciding what to focus on each month” was their biggest time stealer. The second highest response at 27.2% was, “creating new marketing materials”.

    This is not the first time we’ve heard these responses to this question. That’s why we created the 2022 Real Estate Marketing Planner (and made it available to you for free).

    The 2022 Real Estate Marketing Planner is a powerful guide that defines what marketing to do and when. This planner offers a monthly calendar with holiday observances and weekly SEND, CALL, SEE activities.

    Four key market segments are included in the weekly plan: Niche Marketing, Get More Listings, Geographic Farming, and Sphere of Influence, along with their recommended corresponding campaigns.

    Set Your Marketing Budget Based on Revenue Goals

    Determining how much to allocate for your 6-month marketing budget can be challenging. However, understanding this number can dramatically increase your chances of achieving your bottom line.

    The Free Online ROI Calculator, allows you to discover how much to
    spend on your marketing based on your revenue goals.

    Outlining your goals and how you will reach them financially is the backbone of any successful real estate business plan.

    The time is now to let go of areas you fell short of your business goals in the first half of this year and move forward armed with the resources and a plan to dominate for the rest of this year!

      Goodbye, 2021!

      I think 2022 is going to be an amazing year, both for real estate agents and for the rest of us.

      But it won’t be if we don’t plan. And, no, it’s not too late. Consider an old Chinese proverb:

      “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.”

      So, let’s get to it.

      Go back before moving forward

      To get a clear starting point, planning for the new year requires looking back at your efforts and outcomes from last year.

      • What went well?
      • What activity should you be doing more?
      • What didn’t go well?
      • Is there a way to tweak the unsuccessful efforts or should you drop them?

      Then, take stock of your systems and tools. Are you using all of them? Could your CRM use some love? Perhaps you need to update to newer, better tools or systems.

      Money, money, money

      An assessment of your end-of-year finances, and how you got there, will be a huge help in determining what you need to do in the coming year. Look at not only your income and outgo but the number of transactions it took to bring in the money.

      Then, come up with a transaction count required to meet your 2022 financial goals. The Real Estate Business Plan is an ideal free tool to help you do this.

      It takes consistent effort to increase performance.

      Ensure you have the infrastructure, tools, and systems to support you. Then, go out and slay some real estate dragons.

        If you’ve been in the real estate business for at least 5 years, congratulations! It’s a testament to your tenacity.

        If you’re still struggling to achieve the level of success you desire, you’re not alone. However, now is the time to put the past behind you and start off 2022 committed to making your real estate business dreams a reality.

        You can do this by executing at least one of the following 2022 New Year’s resolutions listed below.

        Or adopt them all and truly DOMINATE IN 2022!

        1. Resolve to let go of old expectations

        Remember your pre-agent days when you thought that, to make the big bucks, all a real estate agent had to do was buy a fancy car, dress like Serhant, and schmooze with folks?

        Not only that but there’s no boss in charge of your workday. You can come and go as you like and it won’t matter to anyone. Your pocketbook may take a hit, but you’re free and in control of your life.

        Here’s a sample of some additional rookie agent assumptions and expectations:

        • Your broker will supply you with what you need to become wildly successful.
        • You’ll receive expert training on the day-to-day business aspects of real estate.
        • You are not accountable for your success.
        • You can work short days and weeks, take lots of vacations and still make a killing in real estate as a newbie.

        If you still harbor any of these misconceptions, do yourself a favor and let them go. They aren’t serving you or your business growth.

        2. Promise yourself to pursue more listings in 2022
        2022 Real Estate Marketing Planner, HERE

        Why? Because “when you list, you last.”

        Sure, buyers are abundant in the current market, and finding a homeowner willing to sell is like trying to find gold in a silver mine.

        But if you’re going to focus on one area of your business in 2022, and you hope to be wildly successful without putting in so many hours that you become a stranger to family and friends, concentrating on becoming a listing agent is critical.

        Yeah, it’s a bit like trying to eat an elephant, but start slow and start small, taking one bite at a time.

        The 2022 Real Estate Business Plan will walk you through just how many more listings you will need in 2022 to meet your goals.

        3. Resolve to enter the new year with a solid marketing plan

        Every business needs a roadmap for the upcoming year. Marketing goals and objectives are part of this roadmap. To meet them, you’ll need to know how to get there and the 2022 Real Estate Marketing Planner is the ideal guide to help you.
