How Mentors Can Coach You to Succeed In Real Estate?
You are reading this post. The chances are that you are already successful and you want to know if mentors can help you do better.
Or you can be a beginner looking for a pathway to get started in the real estate business.
Read on; this article will let you know if coaching is the right investment for you.
The real estate coaching is available in different forms. You can find it for free, or you can spend $30,000 on annual programs. Hundreds of programs are available that provide both online and offline coaching.
But how do you know which program is the best?
You have to define your reasons.
There are different reasons to educate yourself, but in my opinion, the biggest reason is :
“To avoid costly mistakes.”
I want to learn from other people mistakes. In other words, ” I want to make new mistakes”. I don’t have time to repeat old errors. I would like to experiment and learn new lessons from new failures.
Here are some other benefits of joining a real estate coaching program:
- Reach Your Full Potential
- Goal Setting
- Real Estate Network
- Shortcuts and Programs
Reach Your Full Potential
You can never succeed in the real estate business without realizing your true potential.
We know we have the potential. When you take a job, you know you are capable of achieving the impossible. You know you can do it, but……
In business, you know you are capable of success, but then, the problem happens.
In the beginning, you make a few mistakes and you start doubting your true potential.
At this point, you need a mentor who can inspire you.
2. Goal-Setting
You must start with goal-setting. Most people have no goals or they set unrealistic goals. Start with short-term goals and build your confidence to achieve bigger dreams.
A mentor can advise you to keep your goals realistic according to industry trends. Coaching programs have a goal-setting section in the beginning. At the end, they measure program success by the achievement of your goals.
3. Real Estate Networking
It is not only about what you know, but it is all about “who you know”. That’s an important reason to join a real estate coaching program.
You can avoid cold-calling.
Cold calling is your enemy in real estate marketing. You can’t just go and say:
“Hi, I am … and I would like to connect so I can get a deal”.
It doesn’t matter what words you are using. If you come up to me and say you are a real estate professional, I know you are looking for business.
Instead, let the mentor do this work for you.
An experienced mentor can connect you with like-minded people. You can discuss tips, and stories and if all goes well; find some opportunities and send them to your friends.
That’s the best way to have a higher sales volume in the future.
4. Shortcuts and Programs
Do you know how to cook french fries?
Or let me ask a better question.
Tell me the difference between “starchy” and “non-starchy” potatoes.
It will take you 10-15 minutes to read details on the web. Then you can start describing a non-starchy potato. The expert will only take 25 seconds to answer this question. They can tell you just by looking at the potato.
Just like cooking, there are shortcuts in business that you learn with experience. A coaching program can help you learn those shortcuts. The life experience may cost you 15 years but the price of a coaching program might just be $1000.
Think about it and let me know which program are you joining.
Are you thinking which program should I use?
