We&#8217;re not talking about the kind of influencer that spends hours posing for Instagram pictures and wears T-shirts with the word &#8220;influencer&#8221; printed on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if you were the kind of person your prospects could count on to deliver the best insights on what&#8217;s happening in their market? What if you were the go-to source of info and yes, even inspiration about how to win in their industry?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Become_the_person_leads_can_go_to_for_consistent_advice_and_motivation_%E2%80%94_and_you_can_bet_theyll_keep_coming_back\"><\/span><strong>2.

Agents at the Ashton Real Estate Group get access to internal and external experts \u2014 experienced pros who cover everything from land sales to new constructions and commercial real estate \u2014 via roundtables, masterminds and task management training. The goal is to bring the entire team to reach a level of mastery in the real estate business so they can serve customers better than anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Baltimore, Ron Howard of the leading Ron Howard &amp; Associates team is taking it a step further. Ron&#8217;s creating an internal marketing agency that will help his agents become influencers in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you brush this off as just another fleeting social media phenomenon, remember that\u00a0<strong>92% of buyers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nielsen.com\/content\/dam\/corporate\/us\/en\/newswire\/uploads\/2009\/07\/pr_global-study_07709.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">trust referrals from people they know<\/a><\/strong>. The reason influencers are effective in the first place is because they know how to deliver the kind of insightful intel you&#8217;d expect from a true expert using an authentic communication style like that of a trusted coach or friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Lead_a_rock_star_team\"><\/span><strong>3.

You may find you need to pivot your team faster and more dramatically than ever before. But the harsh reality is, most change management programs fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.towerswatson.com\/en\/Press\/2013\/08\/Only-One-Quarter-of-Employers-Are-Sustaining-Gains-From-Change-Management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Towers Watson survey<\/a>, only 25% of employers succeed in implementing long-term changes, with the biggest gap in the system being the connection and communication between the leadership team and ground-level players. While 87% of employers feel they do a good job training their managers for change,\u00a0<strong>only 22% of managers feel they were properly prepped for change.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s just not good enough. Your team needs regular hits of empowerment, backed by a solid system for accountability in order to not only keep them on track but also keep them engaged when you need to shift gears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barry Jenkins leads the #2 Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate team in the US. He&#8217;s accepted the leadership struggle as part and parcel of managing a team in a changing market. \u201cI\u2019ve inspired them to try harder and created systems that assist them in following up and giving them intel on the leads. I also keep them motivated with a daily huddle,\u201d says Barry of how he protects his team from overwhelm and keeps them on track with follow ups and prospecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Outsmart_automation\"><\/span><strong>4.&nbsp;Outsmart automation.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing about technology is that if you don&#8217;t run it, it runs you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re facing the biggest wave of disruption, maybe ever, and the sales reps with the best chance of making it out the other side will be those who find a way to use these tools to their advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In real estate, this is a problem agents are well familiar with. From publishing home listings in print to competing with disruptive tech like Zillow and Trulia, Realtors know all too well how quickly things can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Joshua Smith, coach, mentor and host of the #1 Most Downloaded Real Estate Agent Podcast\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsdmode.com\/gsd-mode-podcast-main-website-new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">GSD Mode<\/a>, &#8220;There are several things happening in our industry currently. First, we have a market shift that is taking place, but this is nothing new for our industry, just remember: &#8216;There Is No Such Thing as a Bad Market, It Is Always Good for Someone&#8217;. We need to identify who the market is good for and adapt to serve their needs. That&#8217;s how you thrive in shifts.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know you&#8217;re busy with your day-to-day grind. But if you do just&nbsp;<em>one thing<\/em>&nbsp;next year, make sure you carve out some time to sit down and really think about what your prospects need from you.
