A Business Coach can be a very effective developmental tool for leadership development, as well as producing financial and intangible benefits for any business. A good coach can provide you and your employees with a rich learning environment that allows the learning to be applied to a variety of business situations. Key skills such as decision-making, team performance and the motivation of others can be strengthened and enhanced.
In a recent study of a Fortune 500 company that had launched a business coaching program they were able to identify specific financial and intangible benefits that came as a result of their coaching.
The two things most significantly impacted by business coaching were productivity and employee satisfaction. These two items alone underscore just how valuable a good coach can be to your business. Happy employees are not only more productive they are more creative and more willing to go the extra mile. They are also more willing to "think outside the box" which is where lucrative innovations originate.
The next areas most significantly impacted by business coaching were work output and work quality. Twenty percent of the respondents said they could clearly identify a financial benefit directly related to their increased output. Imagine how even a ten percent increase in work output by you and your employees could impact you bottom line! That alone would more than reimburse you for the costs associated with a quality business coach.
The same study found that when program costs were tabulated to determine a return on investment their business coaching program produced a 788% return on the investment. In this case the company in question had experienced downsizing and other factors impacting employee retention. When they excluded the financial benefits related to employee retention they still found the coaching program produced a 529% return on their investment. While those who had customer or people responsibilities produced proportionally greater financial benefits, the realization of benefits to the business was fairly widespread throughout the group involved in this study. What other single thing could you do for your business that could make such a huge impact?!
While this study was dealing specifically with a large company, any company of any size can benefit exponentially by adding a skilled business coach to their team. Small businesses especially can find that a good business coach can help them manage their time and business more efficiently, effectively propelling their business to the next level. A good coach can also help you find ways to balance your work and personal life. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation today and see where your business can be tomorrow
A good marketing script can give a serious boost to your real estate business. While there are plenty of scripts to choose from my recommendation is to go with one that farms expired listings!
Why? Because expired listings are plentiful, easy to find and are some of the best leads you can get ? whether you source them free or purchase them through a service!
But expired real estate marketing scripts aren't your only options. There are scripts for everything from FSBOs to farming first time home buyers! In fact, the more successful listing and selling real estate agents have a real estate marketing script of some kind. And when you get one too, you can also achieve the level of success that they routinely enjoy.
You could become so successful that you might even find yourself in the enviable position of needing hired help to handle all of the new business you generate. That would be a nice problem to have!
The best thing about a real estate marketing script, whether it's targeting FSBOs, expireds, or whatever you choose, is that they'll help you save you time while making money. All of the work is done for you, as most scripts come with everything you need to succeed; letters, logs, marketing update reports and other information and documents you need to get the most use out of the script.
The bottom line is a good marketing script offers a proven system that works in almost any market, regardless of city, county or state.
Slowed down market? No problem! Real estate still selling briskly in your market? Good! Whatever your market conditions a real estate marketing script can help separate you from your competitors and establish you as the agent of choice.
Now, the difference between a good script and a great one, at least in my opinion, is that a great script will have prospects calling you?rather than you calling them! Cold calling, if not dead, is in ?intensive care.? The National Do Not Call List has put a serious dent in your ability to call people at will.
An expired listing script, however, doesn't necessarily require you to ?cold call? prospects. In fact, I farmed expired listings with just letters and averaged 2 plus listings a week.
At the end of the day marketing scripts eliminate the guess work from effective real estate marketing by clearly outlining in simple steps what to do, what to do it with, when to do it, how to do it and how often it should be done!.
Yep, the hard part is done for you! All you need to do is follow the directions that come with whatever script you choose!
Finally, before you purchase a real estate marketing script only consider those that offer a satisfaction money back guarantee. If the scripts are as good as advertised this should not be a problem.
Also, call before purchasing to see if you get through to a live person. And beware! If you can't reach a live person before you purchase a script you probably won't be able to reach anybody in the event you want a refund.
Summarily, a good real estate marketing script can be a huge boost to your career. It can jump start a new one while re-energizing an old one. Get one for yourself today!
