What Do You Do To Keep Your Agents Motivated? 

During the early part of the roaring 2000s our office was a selling machine.  Of course, most offices were like that, but when the market began to slide into ar130581085721834.jpgrecession things slowed down.  Our broker, who was a great guy, was managing two offices.  He spent the majority of his time at the other office in a large metropolitan city (approximately 29 out of 30 days).  As the recession became more and more severe our office began to drop sales and agents.

 

The worse things got with the economy the worse sales got with the office.  ar130581036786684.jpgOur broker was seldom around to encourage and inspire the office, and the agents found little enthusiasm and motivation to overcome the economic struggle the country was entering into.  Finally, a year ago that office closed.  It really was the right thing to do.  Most ar13058103352391.jpgagents were doing little to nothing by that time.  In our former broker's defense a dozen or more offices have closed in the area.  So, it wasn't specific to our location.

 

There were a few of us who were highly self-motivated who simply moved on.  I actually joined that company because I was very self-motivated, and I didn't need the broker looking over my shoulder all the time.  I also didn't need weekly pep rallies to keep listing and selling homes.  I love the job.  When the office closed I started my own company and it's doing well, but my questions for you are,

 

"What do you, or what does your office do during hard times to keep your agents ar13058115079416.jpgmotivated and on track?  What keeps the agents excited when it becomes a real challenge to succeed in their profession?  How do you deal with the agents who need that extra boost to stay steady during slow time?"

REO/BPO Companies that don't pay....

I have worked for a ton of these companies over the years, and sometimes get companies that are hard to pay or won't pay.

I have one right now, Service (blank), that didn't pay for BPOs since the first of the year. They stated that I wasn't a provider and that I wasn't assigned these properties. I scanned every order page, submitted my BPO pay log and now....Since getting Richard with myreotogo.com involved, they are finally paying!

I got Richard involved yesterday and I received a phone call from the company in question this morning! Suddenly I have gone from not being a service provider to "the information is going to accounting and a check will be in the mail this eveing with a tracking number."

It may sound like an ad, but it is true! Call or message me, and I will get you Richard's contact information!

Finally an REO/BPO success story!

THANK YOU, RICHARD!!!
