"Proverbs" from Legends who have gone before us
Jun 07, 2021You know what it's time for!! It's time for MONDAY MOTIVATION!
For those who are new to the PYRE Membership or Facebook group, every week we give you new resources in your membership along with a little motivation to help you through your week because it's our goal to help equip you to be the very best real estate agent in your community!
Over the next several weeks, our motivation time will be looking at the 'proverbs' of the legends who have gone before us! The definition of a proverb is: "a short pithy saying in general use, stating a general truth or piece of advice."
You probably have a few sayings that inspire, encourage, or motivate you throughout your week. Those short sayings or 'nuggets of truth' can be so helpful for us in pushing us towards the very best that we can be.
This week we are looking at a saying by Zig Ziglar. Zig was a world-famous salesman and motivational speaker who, despite some tragedies in his own life, achieved at a very high level and inspired (and still inspires) others to do the same!
Here is Zig's proverb for today:
"There are no traffic jams on the extra mile."
Have you met some real estate agents who never call back, never follow through, don't fill out the necessary paperwork, etc.? Of course you have! We all have!
In fact, that type of work ethic is commonplace in our industry. Going the 'extra mile' is not something you see often, so when you do experience it, it stands out!
That is what we, at PYRE, want for you! We want to help you stand out among the crowd by going the extra mile!
There are two distinct ways to think about going the extra mile that we have broken down for you in our video today:
- The Micro-level
- The Macro-level
The Micro-level of going the extra mile is rooted in individual relationships. It is first identifying the need in someone else, then meeting that need. There is a great likelihood that most people you talk with have some kind of need, the key is, will you go the extra mile, in a micro-level, to find out what it is and then try to meet it? It could be that they are going to experience being an empty-nester soon and feel a bit lost, or maybe they are needing an electrician at home, or possibly their family pet just died. There are various situations where people are in need. The question becomes, how do you go the extra mile to help them in those needs? Could it be that you send them a book on empty-nesting, or connect them with some great electricians and then follow up to see how that worked out, or maybe it is sending a thoughtful card and flowers to the family in grief? There are so many ways to go the extra mile at the micro-level if you are willing to invest the time and energy!
The Macro-level of going the extra mile relates to systems instead of relationships. It could mean increasing your phone calls each week and not allowing yourself to slack in that area. it could mean making sure to write 5 personal notes a day. Or, it could mean That you will plan out your pop-by's quarterly so that you can budget and prepare to meet & greet with all of your top clients and SOI. Regardless, the macro-level of going the extra mile helps to push you into systems that the average real estate agent is not doing.
Both of these levels of going the extra mile are important, so take a look at each one and then try to figure out which one you need to grow the most in and start there!
When you choose to go the extra mile for your clients and SOI, you will be noticed by not only them but all they come in contact with!
