You’re Making Calls and Sending Cards, But It’s Not Working

By Nicole Mangina | July 29, 2016

Ever experience this? Why is it that sometimes clients seem to show up without us doing anything, and other times we doing everything right, and yet, the phone isn’t ringing? Ever feel like it’s working for everyone else, but not for you? I can’t tell you how many meetings I have been in with agents…

Is It Time To Fire Your Client?

By Nicole Mangina | July 21, 2016

It’s such an odd question. After all, aren’t all clients good ones? Some are more difficult than others, but as long as you get paid, it’s all good. Right? At the beginning of my career I was right there with everyone else. I would work with anyone hoping that it would turn into a commission…

Walk In To Your Next Meeting Like You Own It

By Nicole Mangina | July 15, 2016

Maybe you’re new, or it’s been a while since you sold a house, or the price point intimidates you. Whatever it is, you are about to meet with your clients and you are not feeling it. You’re knees are shaking and you are the furthest thing from confident. All you can think of is the…

You’re selling houses right and left. It feels good to be busy. Yet, in the midst of it all, the voice in the back of your head wonders when the steak will end? Is it only a matter of time before the wheels come off, the phone calls dry up, and you are left wondering…

[field name=youtube-video] Consistency is essential. We talk about it with marketing, phone calls, etc, but how about when you show up for an appointment? Are you consistent? Are you ready when your clients say yes? I recently asked a group of agents what they bring to a listing appointment. They talked about various marketing and…

What Happens When Your Clients Go MIA?

By Nicole Mangina | June 10, 2016

You got a new referral! You chatted on the phone, had your first meeting, everything was going great and then – nothing. Emails, cards, phone calls, none of it is getting a response. Urg! Did they find another agent? Did you do something? Did they decide not to buy or sell after all? This is undoubtably…

Same Message, Different Outcome

By Nicole Mangina | June 3, 2016

2 weeks ago my Dad and I were out running errands, and stopped by a jeweler for help with a repair. At the first jewelry store, we had barely finished our question, and the gal said “we can’t help you with that”. It felt like maybe she was jumping to conclusions, or didn’t really understanding…

You’ve Got A Database, Now What?

By Nicole Mangina | May 20, 2016

Less than 30% of agents have a database. Yet studies consistently show that agents who have one, and actively stay in touch with their clients make twice as much as than those who don’t. Seriously? It might seem crazy, but it’s true. I’ve always thought that was such a fascinating statistic. After all, your database…
