12 Days of Real Estate....Day Eight!

On the 8th Day of Real Estate, Seven Gables gave to me...The ability to "Put it in Reverse!"
(And not by saying "I know you are but what am I?" either!)


When you need to figure something out, there are steps that you can take to ensure you get the best results.

One of the things you can do is to find experts in the field. Thank Gore for the Internet! :-)
You log on, do online searches. Of course this doesn't replace going to your management team or mentor to assist you, but it's a great second choice!

One of the things that I find is REALLY effective, before going to my management team is to throw it in reverse!



One trick that usually helps when you’re stuck with a problem is turning it on its head. If you want to win, find out what would make you lose. If you are struggling finding ways to ‘increase sales’, find ways to decrease them instead. Then, all you need to do is reverse your answers.

Make more sales calls’ may seem an evident way of increasing sales, but sometimes we only see these ‘obvious’ answers when we look at the problem from an opposite direction.

This seemingly convoluted method may not seem intuitive at first, but turning a problem on its head can uncover rather obvious solutions to the original problem.

So, on the Eighth day of Real Estate, Amanda gave to me....reverse the situation
