It’s not news that we all have the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The only differentiator is what we each choose to do with the time we have. Here are top 5 dollar-productive activities that the majority of top producers spend 75% of their time on.
Prospecting & Marketing
The name of the game in real estate is getting face-to-face. Top producers spend at least 2 hours per day generating new business with a single focus on setting a face-to-face appointment. Real estate is a contact sport and top producers know the most effective use of their time is being in front of client or potential clients. Learn from top producers and ensure your marketing and lead generating strategies focus on funneling potential buyers and sellers toward getting face-to-face with you.
Qualifying Buyers

They value their time and expertise and focus on meeting with potential buyers first (before showing property) in order to conduct a detailed needs analysis. Top producers have mastered the art of knowing exactly what a buyer wants and needs to dramatically increase their efficiency and effectiveness at finding buyers their dream home faster and for the best price.
