The Double Duty Agent Podcast with Carla Higgins

In this episode of Coach's Corner, Coach Carla dives into a common challenge faced by many real estate agents: call reluctance, specifically when reaching out to your sphere of influence—those people who already know, like, and trust you. Whether you're a new agent or have been in the business for years, the fear of rejection can hold you back from making those crucial connections.Carla discusses the fear of rejection and the stories that our ego creates to keep us from feeling discomfort. These stories often prevent us from making calls, as we imagine worst-case scenarios that rarely, if ever, come true. This episode helps reframe what rejection really is and explains why a ‘no' today is not personal or final—it's simply a ‘not right now.'Key Topics Covered:Understanding Call Reluctance: Why agents feel hesitant to call their sphere and how the fear of rejection manifests.What Rejection Really Is: Breaking down the myth that a ‘no' means personal rejection.The Stories Your Ego Creates: How the ego uses fear-based thoughts to keep you in your comfort zone and avoid potential rejection.Redefining Rejection: Why someone not being ready to buy or sell a home isn't a reflection of your worth as a person or agent.Shifting Mindset: How to move from a sales-driven mindset to a relationship-driven approach to calls.A Practical Strategy to Overcome Reluctance: Approaching each call with curiosity and a service mindset to provide value and strengthen relationships.The Magic Question: How to use the question “Who do you know that might need help with real estate?” to take pressure off the conversation and activate your contact's memory for potential referrals.Self-Reflection Questions to Overcome Fear:What story am I telling myself about this call?What's the worst that could happen if they say no?Is it possible I'm taking this too personally?Have I ever had a positive experience when calling my sphere?What am I really afraid of, and is it based in reality?By asking these questions, you'll uncover that much of the fear around making calls is based on stories, not facts. The more you challenge those stories, the more your fear begins to lose its power.Action Step:If you've been struggling with call reluctance, Carla challenges you to take action. Start with just one call today—focus on curiosity and building relationships rather than trying to make a sale. The more you practice, the easier it will become.Listen & Subscribe:Visit DoubleDutyPodcast.com for more episodes.Submit your questions or challenges for future episodes of Coach's Corner! If you found today's episode helpful, share it with another agent who might be struggling with the same challenges.

Welcome back to the Double Duty Agent Podcast! This is the second episode in our 5 Master Keys to Unlock Success mini-series, and today we're tackling a crucial topic—creating a time-blocked schedule.

In today's episode of Coach's Corner, Carla addresses one of the most common challenges faced by dual-career agents: feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and trying to prioritize what matters most in a real estate business while juggling another demanding career. Carla shares a listener's message that perfectly captures the struggle many double-duty agents face and provides actionable steps to cut through the noise and focus on the core job responsibilities that drive success.Key Takeaways:The Overwhelm Is Real: As a dual-career agent, you're balancing two complex worlds. It's easy to feel lost in the flood of emails, texts, social media notifications, and training opportunities. But you're not alone—many agents feel the same way!Focus on Your 5 Key Job Responsibilities:Build Your Skills & Practice Conversations: Whether you're a new or experienced agent, constantly improving your skills is essential. Check out programs like Ignite After Dark for flexible training options. Practice your scripts and conversations regularly but keep it simple—15 to 30 minutes a few times a week can make a big difference.Lead Generation: This is about talking to people, not overcomplicating things. Set a goal to have five meaningful conversations each day, asking, "Who do you know that might need help with real estate?" Consistency is the key to building leads.Lead Follow-Up: Don't let opportunities slip through the cracks. Follow up with anyone who has shown interest and stay front of mind by keeping communication open. Consider setting up a "Follow-Up Friday" to make it easier to manage.Appointments (Listing/Buyer Strategy Sessions): Focus on helping clients achieve their goals, whether it's selling quickly or making a smart investment. The more you practice, the more confident and natural these appointments will feel.Negotiating Contracts: Mastering negotiation skills is vital for closing deals successfully. Take contract classes, read and understand the contracts, and practice explaining them to clients.Prioritization is Key: Don't get distracted by every training, class, or notification. Focus on what moves the needle in your business—mastering the five job responsibilities—and trust that success will follow.Resources Mentioned:Ignite After Dark: Live online classes taught by top instructors for dual-career agents.

Welcome to Episode 21 of the Double Duty Agent Podcast! In this special series opener, host Carla Higgins introduces the first of the 5 Master Keys to Unlock Success: Unlimiting Beliefs. Carla reflects on the power of limiting beliefs—those self-imposed barriers that keep us from reaching our full potential—and walks us through a practical framework for identifying, understanding, and transforming these beliefs. You'll hear about real-life examples of agents who overcame their limiting beliefs and learn how you can begin unlimiting your own thinking to unlock new opportunities in your real estate career.Key TakeawaysWhat are limiting beliefs? They are stories we've told ourselves over and over until they became beliefs that hold us back from success.How limiting beliefs manifest: Limiting beliefs often present themselves as excuses or reasons why we can't achieve our goals, and while they start with a circumstance or fact, these stories are not always based on truth.Rewriting the story: Learn how to identify the stories you tell yourself and rewrite them into empowering, unlimited beliefs that create opportunities instead of limitations.Building a new belief: Discover how to continually reinforce your new story until it replaces the old, limiting belief.Action Items from this EpisodeIdentify your limiting beliefs: Write down your top goal in real estate and ask yourself, “Why haven't I achieved this yet?” Identify the limiting beliefs holding you back.Rewrite your story: Choose one limiting belief and rewrite it into a new, empowering story.Reinforce the new belief: Use habit stacking (e.g., brushing your teeth or getting in the car) to remind yourself of your new story multiple times a day, reading it aloud and taking deep breaths to internalize it.Join us next week as we dive into the second Master Key: Creating a Schedule and Timeblocking that Works. This episode will help you build a schedule that supports your dual career life and ensures consistency in your real estate business.
