Topics The Engagement Styles Matrix - The science of connecting with your clients Have you ever lost a listing you thought for sure you’d won … or have a buyer walk away from a property you thought for sure they’d buy? Ever wonder why you connect effortlessly with some clients while others require every ounce of patience you’ve got? The answer to each one of these vexing questions can be found within the Engagement Styles Matrix. In this highly entertaining and informative keynote you'll discover your own 'engagement style', and more importantly, you will learn how to align the home buying/selling experience with your client’s unique decision-making needs. When this happens, not only will you increase your business win rate, you will also enhance your time efficiency and strengthen your Net Promoter Score. Mastering Client Negotiations - Resolving client fears, frustrations and positional impasses Once a buyer, or seller, is presented with the ideal property, or services solution there are only three reasons why the listing or purchase agreement might falter. These three potential deal-breaking client conditions are known as mental, emotional and positional stress. When these stress sources are encountered most real estate agents make the mistake of responding instinctively, rather than strategically, and end up losing a deal, that might have successfully transacted. In this highly informative and REALTOR-centric workshop you will be introduced to a stress resolution model known as the ACRE Formula (c), so that you rarely, if ever have a client miss out on a real estate opportunity due to an unresolved fear, frustration or positional impasse. Mastering Client Presentations - The FIVE elements of a WINNING presentation Every successful listing, or property, presentation sits in the shoulders of FIVE core competency habits. The quickest and surest way to increase you listing and selling success is to incorporate these habits into your daily real estate practice. It’s no coincidence that, in virtually all cases, the world’s top revenue earners are also the most skilled presenters. In this highly informative and REALTOR-centric workshop you will be introduced to these FIVE essential habits and discover why, once mastered, they will increase your business win rate to 90%. https://www.coldwellbankerevents.ca/cb-canada-store daily 0.75 2024-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/573db2ba-2eb0-4468-89b8-ff66f2e69715/Swag-Store-Image.jpg CB Canada Store - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.coldwellbankerevents.ca/global-luxury-canada-submissions daily 0.75 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/640b9d4b-be61-45dd-a87c-36d94059f2a9/LOGO_CBGL_CMYK_ICON_BL_FINAL.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/8351173e-3879-4cdd-a44c-a39fd379a723/Rivas_040_RT_HR.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/d33eedfe-1d0b-4db4-976d-57c4dd3864c7/AdobeStock_395918114.jpeg https://www.coldwellbankerevents.ca/home daily 0.75 2024-08-06 https://www.coldwellbankerevents.ca/feature-listings-submission daily 0.75 2024-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/60af3d4e-1825-47b2-8880-f784b3443c47/FH-Logo-Circle-400x400px.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/e4f0b68a-b165-4354-b073-f50a68eaf6cb/IMG_9960+2.jpg https://www.coldwellbankerevents.ca/tara-clark daily 0.75 2023-04-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612fce4bae0c58154848aa74/4ca1906c-acc2-472b-9ea5-82b58f3d3e66/Tara+Clark+700x925.jpg Tara Clark - Tara Clark is a social media architect, entrepreneur and speaker, and the founder of boutique social media agency, Social T.

Bob Cella's staggering success in real estate stems from an interesting story. The tattooed, pony-tailed Cella was rejected in his first 2 interviews with Coldwell Banker, and landed a position only after an outlandish guarantee to the hiring broker: he swore he'd be the agent's Top Producer in his first year. Bob led the entire Hawaiian Island chain in volume that first year, and for 13 years after. “I was the most ordinary guy you’d ever meet,” he says. “I had no success in anything prior to this stage of my life. I was not educated – I barely graduated from high school. I barely got by. Then I found the Law of Attraction. It changed my life. It gave me everything. I would have no success without it. And the best part is that it works for everyone, every time.” Topics A Winning Strategy: The top three mindsets that will influence your success Learn how to frame your mind for success in the real estate business and beyond.
