Relational Real Estate: How Gratitude Gives You the Competitive Edge w/ John Israel | Episode 92
Manage episode 458958665 series 3561387
In real estate, you can get away with being a transactional salesperson - going from one deal to the next - for a limited amount of time. At some point, you’ll have to shift to being relational if you want long-term success.
Anybody can get one deal…but it takes a completely different skillset to keep a relationship and get business for the rest of someone’s life.
There are many ways we can nurture a long-term relationship with clients. Sending out valuable content, giving gifts and hosting client events, but a humble handwritten “thank you” card can actually be more effective than anything else.
Gratitude isn’t just a great behavior to train ourselves on, it can give us the competitive advantage in business. How can we use gratitude and handwritten notes to build stronger relationships? How do you consistently show up for the people in your sphere? How do we practice gratitude when we don’t feel like it?
In this episode, I’m joined by Mr. Thank You, John Israel. The keynote speaker, author and gratitude coach talks about his journey, sending 1800 cards in a year, and how to shift out of transactional selling.
Anybody can get a deal, but to keep a relationship and get their business for the rest of their life takes work. -John Israel
