7 Strategies for Real Estate Recruiting Success

Posted on by The Profitable Recruiter

A LOT has changed in the last year – but some strategies are always in season. If you’re ready to take your recruiting game to the next level, let’s look at a few of our favorites that always seem to help real estate recruiters knock it out of the park. Some take just a few minutes of your day – but the results — are extraordinary!

Here are a few of our favorites: 

  1. Stay positioned with your entire recruiting list  using the Profitable Recruiter Monday Morning email newsletters. These provide a non-salesly, motivational, action-oriented touch points which keep you top of mind as a broker/recruiter so that when people ARE ready to make a move, they think of your organization.
  2. Customize those emails. While we love a good cut and paste, your emails should be branded to your organization.  Consider including links to agent testimonials, links to pages on your site that refer to compensation differentiators, a personal note from you or your leadership team, a spotlight of recent recruits including their name, photo, and charity of choice, and links to upcoming training or networking events.
  3. Send Lumpy Letters to the top 25 recruiting prospects every month. Have some fun with them – and follow up with those prospects.
  4. Use LinkedIn to connect with potential recruits. Send your prospects a message, endorse them, write a reference on LinkedIn, then follow up. More often than not, you’ll have done more than their current broker.  While you’re in there – be sure to do the same for your CURRENT team of agents!  Set aside 15 minutes a morning to do this one simple strategy – you’ll surprise and delight yourself with the results!
  5. Sponsor fun events. We loved the Taco & Tequila Tuesdays, Wine Down Wednesdays, and even virtual happy hours that many of our members have hosted. They are fun networking opportunities where agents can connect, share ideas, and learn.  Some host it at a restaurant near their company headquarters and offer dessert back at the office where they can tour the facility and get to know more about what the company offers.  Their current team of agents “admission” to the event is to bring another agent.  Everyone has fun – and it’s bringing agents through the doors!
  6. Call at least ten agents a day for appointments. You won’t reach all ten more than likely, but you are making the calls and contacts and setting the stage for success.
  7. Let them know that you want them on board. Often brokers feel like it is too strong to ask for the commitment after the first recruiting appointment, but what they don’t realize is that often means the potential recruit isn’t even sure that you WANT to hire them. Be assertive, friendly – and try Judy’s classic handshake close that has helped brokers all over the world hire people on the spot.  (You can learn more about that in the interview skills section of your 7+ hours of audio training.)

These powerful steps are a great way to create the kind of dramatic momentum that Mona is experiencing. The right tools, strategies, and of course – perseverance as a recruiter is a win-win-win combination.

The Power of Sprint Goals

Posted on by The Profitable Recruiter

In this week’s weekly Monday Morning Motivation enewsletter, we encouraged you to encourage your team, and your prospects to create absolute focus for the rest of the year by putting sprint goals into place. Sprint goals are short-term goals that are accomplished in 30 days or less. They are short term because of the constant changes that we have seen in our life and throughout 2020. This month, for agents, it’s about creating listing inventory. There is a national shortage of inventory all across North America and listings are the name of the game, now more than ever.

For brokers, it’s about recruiting the best possible team members as we head into the last few months of this year so that you can end strong. Sprint goals are 1-2 sentences. They are simple, measurable and attainable. They also have action steps. It could be as simple as, “I will speak to at least five agents per day, five days a week, for 30 days.”  “I will compliment and connect with at least two team members per day for 30 days.”

This is the time of year to keep your agents focused on and setting those short-term goals each month. Set sprint goals for the office that they can achieve as a team and reward their success.

Recruiting can seem daunting at times, sprint goals help put some fun into it. Create a reward system for yourself each week you stay on track and committed to making those goals a reality. Stay positive, present, and clear on what you want to accomplish – then go for it.

We are here to help!
