Becoming a successful commercial real estate agent is not a walk in the park. It takes dedication, hard work and a thirst for knowledge to make your business stand out from the competition. If you have recently entered the world of commercial real estate or are looking for ways to revamp your existing business, you have come to the right place.
Any business's success starts at the very beginning; that is why it is essential to establish clear goals that you can carry on with throughout your career. Luckily, we're sharing three tried and true tips that will help you jumpstart your career in commercial real estate.
Keep a Positive Mindset
Commercial real estate agents are used to hearing the word "no" or "not interested" when making cold calls. The "no" should be seen as an achievement since you're now one less "no" away from getting a "yes." It's a numbers game, so make the game work for you.
Time Block Your Calendar
Time blocking is planning out every moment of your day in advance and dedicating specific time "blocks" for certain tasks and responsibilities. In an industry where distraction is all around us, having an organized calendar with straightforward daily tasks is a great way to stay on track.
Keep Your Goals Present
Constant reminders about why you get up every day as a commercial real estate agent are an essential part of staying motivated. Keep your goals are written down and visible every day. They are all attainable; it just takes focus and persistence.
Building your business from the ground up may feel like a daunting task; however, creating a clear and concise action plan right from the start will help you position your business for success!
