Any of you with young children (mine are 7 and 3) know that line from the Wonderpets program. It is a wonderful message for young and old alike and one that I like to bring into my business plan.
I worked for over a decade as a manager of a family owned real estate company in Westfield, Massachusetts. As such, I got really good at training and delegating. Now, working as an agent at Park Square Realty in Westfield, I still find that managerial personality comes to the front. Because of this penchant, I have found teaming up with other agents on certain projects to be a wonderful way to get things done.
I have a business partner who I started out as a mentor and we segued into partnership. We paired up with another team of realtors to create a support group. Together we implement larger mailings and prospecting plans that would be cumbersome (not to mention boring) to do alone. In this way we are able to cover a larger area of Western Massachusetts and reach out to more potential clients.
This week we will be meeting over pizza and beer to roll out a huge mailing for one of our ideas and we have plans to gather up again every couple of weeks until we have the prospecting done.
We all still do independent sales, as well, but have found strength in this family atmosphere that we have created within Park Square Realty. It helps us to enjoy work and get more done…we have all moved up the sales ranks since working together.
Now go out there and start singing: "What's Gonna Work? TEAMWORK!"
