Recruiting Mistake #1
Not Getting Back to Prospect Quickly Enough
![Page 8: Six Proven Strategies to Recruit Winners in Today's Challenging Real Estate Climate](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54b6928c4a7959d10a8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

strategy
Get Picky
Recruiting mistake #2
Hiring 1 of 1, or even 1 of 3
New rule:
Hire 1 of 5 or 1 of 10
What’s your ratio?

strategy
Get Picky
Truism: You can’t train or coach
your way out of a bad hire!

Recruiting Mistake #3: No Standards
Minimum production—when?
Training—what?
Full-time—or not?
Practices?
Coaching?
Develop minimum expectations

No matter how you total success in the coaching profession, it all comes down to a single factor—talent….no coach can win without it. John Wooden, famed UCLA basketball coach

A ‘Real Life’ Situation
Office in the red
Only 2 out of 30 producers
Most part-timers
Low self-esteem
The competitive environment:
Top agents left to start their own office 10 blocks away/same company
Largest office: Cheat to win mentality

•Value diversity
•Like entrepreneurship
•All-inclusive commissions not so important

Recruiting Mistake #4: Sell and Tell “Interview”
Can’t discover motivationCan’t build on ‘pain’Can’t make ‘candidate’ feel importantCan’t differentiate yourself
![Page 21: Six Proven Strategies to Recruit Winners in Today's Challenging Real Estate Climate](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54b6928c4a7959d10a8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Effective Interview ‘Flow’
From ‘sell and ‘tell’ to ask, probe—discover ‘pain’

Are your interview questions discovering your desired
Traits
Skills
Qualities?
Big ‘crystal ball’ question: Past-based
‘Test’ your Interview Questions
![Page 23: Six Proven Strategies to Recruit Winners in Today's Challenging Real Estate Climate](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110303/54b6928c4a7959d10a8b45b7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The major magnet is you.What’s your ‘talent’? What’s your major
magnet? Why should people join you?
