IOSH Future Leaders Julianne Shine and Tom Goddard tell us about their personal journeys into OSH: the challenges, surprises, and the opportunities for anyone thinking about working in this field.

Guest: Matt Gregory   Guest Bio: Matt Gregory's story is one of quiet transformation, shaping the brokerage division from within while never losing the drive to help clients. A strategist and mentor, he co-founded the Office Brokerage Group, launched the firm's Fast Track training program, and has closed 1,200-plus deals worth more than $810 million. Clients value his mix of precision, urgency, and clear foresight; colleagues value his commitment to developing future leaders. Having recently earned his broker's license, Matt now serves NAI Ohio Equities in an official Management-Level Broker capacity, bringing even greater authority to the guidance he provides.   Education: BA Communication - The Ohio State University Professional Affiliations: SIOR, CCIM   Matt continues to pair strategic vision with hands-on coaching, ensuring both clients and the next generation of brokers achieve their full potential.   Key Points: Career Background & Path into Real Estate While studying at The Ohio State University, he interned at Ohio Equities, helping modernize their marketing and tech systems. After graduation, he became Director of Information Technology for the firm. Over time, he was drawn into sales after assisting agents with listing presentations and realizing he enjoyed the client-facing, persuasive side of the business. Encouraged by the company's owner, Sandy Simpson, he got his real estate license and transitioned into brokerage.   View on Selling Matt prefers to think of sales as education, advising, and consulting rather than traditional selling. His philosophy: “Educate clients so they can make confident, informed decisions.” He defines selling as persuading someone of value, aligning with the dictionary meaning of “to sell.” He believes in consultative selling—building trust through information, not pressure.   Fast Track Program (Training for New Agents) Originally created in 2006, revived and redesigned in 2023 under his leadership. Matt discusses in depth the structure of the Fast Track Program he designed and uses to train new agents. The Goal: give three years of experience in one year to reduce new-agent failure and speed up success.   Hiring & Recruiting Philosophy Matt looks for candidates who are confident but not arrogant, emotionally intelligent and adaptable, self-motivated and resilient, and realistic about the long sales cycle in commercial real estate. The recruitment process he uses is multiple conversations (3–4 meetings), both formal and informal, emphasis on intuition and relationship-building, not just testing, considers diversity in career stages and backgrounds (new grads, mid-career switchers, experienced professionals), and avoids personality assessments; it relies on observation and cultural fit.   Leadership & Management Style Matt's biggest management challenge is balancing autonomy and oversight. He wants agents to feel empowered but not reckless. Some agents over-communicate; others under-communicate—he strives for a healthy middle ground. He focuses on mentorship, working directly on deals with new agents to model behaviors and decision-making. Matt encourages agents to become future leaders, not just team players.   Outcomes & Culture Strong retention and development culture—agents tend to stay long-term. Emphasis on learning, collaboration, and shared success. Fast Track alumni are performing well and contributing to the firm's growth. The company's local reputation attracts new candidates organically.   Guest Links: Website: https://www.ohioequities.com/brokers/mgregory.html LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mgregoryohioequities/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mjgreg Twitter: http://www.x.com/officegrp Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/officegrp     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Stuart and I opened the room with a simple truth. Progress comes from consistency. The Intensive works because it anchors everyone to a living plan that links a three-to-five-year vision to an annual focus and down to a current sixteen-week sprint. When owners follow the process, complete their dashboards, and show up to the weekly rhythm, results compound. The Intensive is where that discipline gets renewed. People sit with peers, compare notes, and see with fresh eyes that the next leap is in reach when the right activity happens in the right order.  A major theme this time was sales and marketing as part of our Scale with Confidence model. Many owners had been waiting for a perfect moment to build a pipeline engine. The Intensive reminded everyone that the engine starts turning when daily activity is tracked, reviewed, and refined. We unveiled a refreshed New Client Runway roadmap that simplifies the work into three plain steps with clear sub steps, templates, and ownership. The reaction in the room said it all. Heads were nodding. Teams could see what to do, when to do it, and who would lead each piece. Confusion lifted and energy rose because the path was visible. That is the purpose of the Intensive. Remove guesswork and create momentum.  Leadership development featured strongly. Our leadership coach, Julie Hutchison, helped owners face a vital question. Who do I need to be to lead this next phase. Not only what do I need to do. The distinction matters. Doing solves tasks. Being sets culture, creates standards, and unlocks others. Julie also highlighted the power of partners in the room. Spouses and business partners arrived a little cautious then quickly felt welcomed as integral contributors. Once they saw where they fit in the plan they spoke up with insight and took ownership of the levers they can pull. The Intensive gave them a safe space to step forward. That is a win for alignment and a win for home life too. Finance was front and centre with our finance coach, Clare Elliott. Clare tied the sales and marketing conversation back to numbers that tell the truth. Run rate. Margins. Pipeline value by stage. Activity to meeting to proposal to sale. She challenged everyone to share financial targets with their teams so the whole business can rally. One client set a monthly target, shared it openly, and within forty-eight hours the gap narrowed to a few thousand pounds as the team pulled together. Another client crossed their million-pound milestone during the event. The cheer that went up summed up the spirit of the Intensive. Clear targets, shared ownership, and collective pride in progress.  Across the tables a pattern emerged. Several owners felt overwhelmed even as the business was growing fast. They were in the thick of success and could not see the wood for the trees. The solution in the room was practical and calm. Step up to thirty thousand feet. Look back at how far you have come. Reconnect to the plan. Trim distractions. Commit to three priorities for the next sixteen weeks and move everything else to the later list. The Intensive created that breathing space. People left lighter because they made decisions and booked actions with dates and names against them.  Community remains a secret weapon. The infamous quiz returned. Shirt of the day became a thing. Laughter flowed. Underneath the fun sits a very real benefit. Owners discover they are not alone. They swap playbooks, borrow templates, and set up follow up calls across the room. New friendships form that carry accountability far beyond the two days. The Intensive is a serious working event with a generous dose of human connection. That balance is why people come back.  My own light bulb moments were clear. First, our support tracks are landing. Transform Your Profits, Team Performance Engine, Future Leaders, and the marketing implementation track are lifting capability across the community. Owners are not only learning frameworks. Their finance leads, marketing coordinators, and service managers are in the room learning the same language and building the same muscle. Second, our refreshed marketing roadmap removed friction. When people see the journey end to end, confidence goes up and action follows. Third, the message we share with the wider market needs to meet owners at the point where many decide to change. A large client leaves. A key staff member moves on. A retirement horizon becomes real. The Intensive surfaced that pattern again and it will inform our outreach so we can help at the right moment. To close, here is the essence of this episode and of the Intensive. Scaling an MSP is a process. Know your numbers. Build a plan you believe in. Execute the right activities in a steady rhythm. Develop leaders who can think and act without you. Share targets so your team can win with you. Surround yourself with a community that will cheer you on and hold you to account. The September Client Intensive delivered all of that. Plans were refreshed, confidence was renewed, and the ripple effect will show up in better weeks, stronger months, and a more valuable business. If you want your MSP to move from busy to purposeful and from hope to a clear path, the Intensive is where that shift begins and where it gets reinforced every time we come together.  Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours.
