Podcast appearances and mentions of john foong

I admire people who consider themselves to be "servant leaders", and John Foong, Chief Commercial Officer of Domain and former Google executive, exemplifies this concept. John recently joined the Greatness Podcast to share his leadership experiences including his passion for unleashing the best in others and leading the change necessary to enable long-term success. John's ideas about why you are not doing anyone any favors if you keep someone in a role they are not suited to, and how to maintain a lens of curiosity about your employees, are spot on. We also delved into the topics of digital transformation and AI, how the technology of today is not going to get us to tomorrow. One key idea John shared is that the challenge as a leader is not to solve problems, it is to overcome the blindspots and determine that the problems exist.

Market fluctuations have a flow-on effect to the behaviour of buyers, sellers, renters and real estate professionals. For a listings portal, that means never staying still. On this episode of Proptech Pulse, host Juliet Helmke is joined by Domain's John Foong, chief commercial officer and managing director of agent experience, and Dani Harmer, general manager of product – agent experience. The trio unpack how the firm has had to be nimble in making updates to its tools to ensure agents, their clients and consumers more broadly are getting what they need in this market. John and Dani share how the group goes about making sure that their products are always driving efficiencies and acting as effectively as possible. They shed light on some of the recent changes that have been boosting the agent experience, and what's coming down the pike in terms of new capabilities. They also go inside the recent campaign that saw Australia's most beloved house – the home of Bluey Heeler – go up for sale through a Domain listing, and why collaborations such as this have a meaningful impact on the real estate community.

Today Ian interviews John Foong, CRO of Domain Group. Domain is one of the largest property marketplaces and portals in the Southern Hemisphere. John tells us how to leverage metrics rather than drown in data, and how to demonstrate your business' value, even in a tight market.

And the useful question I find in trying to figure out that middle ground, that optimal point of metrics, is that question of, ‘so what?' Or put differently, if I have this metric, if I measure it, will it help me make a different management decision in a timely way? What's the so what?” - John FoongTime Stamps:**(00:50) - John's role at Domain**(01:33) - Defining RevOps**(06:48) - Building RevOps Strategy**(11:45) - RevObstacles **(14:28) - RevOops**(25:10) - The Toolshed **(36:41)  - Quick Hits Sponsor:Rise of RevOps is brought to you by Qualified.

John has over 20 years of experience investing in real estate, primarily in the US (Silicon Valley residential and commercial, and commercial property on the East Coast/South) and Australia. He began investing in property at a young age, leveraging funds from a college scholarship to purchase his first home at 18, a small university apartment in Sydney that cost $60,000—the first of 20+ investments in Australia alone. Since then, John has made millions of dollars through buying, holding, and selling residential and commercial properties. Profits from these investments allowed him to attend Stanford University, where he earned an MBA and Masters in Education (summa cum laude) and was elected President of the year.Main point:Why he started investing in real estate at such a young age and how to get started.Practical tips on how to invest passively in real estate to grow your net worth and build generational wealth, as well as how to make your first million in real estate—especially in a volatile market. How technology is revolutionizing the real estate market, and what lessons can be learned from other industries (eg internet, travel).Connect with John Foong:john.foong@domain.com.auhttps://www.facebook.com/domain.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/domain.com.au/https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfoong/?originalSubdomain=auhttps://www.youtube.com/c/domaincomauhttps://www.domain.com.au/

  How This Aussie Grew Generational Wealth Through Property Investing

John's diverse background forms the foundation of his journey. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, he bears the rich cultural blend of a Malaysian father and a mother from Hong Kong, thanks to his parents' migration to Australia in the 1970s. As he reflects on his upbringing, he recalls the invaluable role played by his grandmother from Malaysia, who helped raise him, instilling a deep sense of family and tradition. His early aspirations were rooted in a strong connection to the church and a profound desire to make a positive impact on the world. At first, he envisioned a path as a pastor or working within a nonprofit, guided by his unwavering convictions. Yet, as he matured, he recognized the vital role of leadership skills in sustaining one's mission, preventing burnout and navigating the complexities of strongly held beliefs. This realization led him to chart a course that would marry technology, business acumen, and leadership principles. In his current role as Chief Revenue Officer at Domain, a position he assumed in September 2021, John is on a mission to accelerate Domain's marketplace strategy across various sectors, including Residential, Commercial, Developer, Media, and Agent Solutions. With an eye on Go To Market, Sales Operations, and Customer Experience teams, John is committed to leveraging Domain's core ethos of 'Better Together' to empower real estate agents, enabling them to build resilient and efficient businesses. His vision revolves around providing a holistic suite of interconnected solutions, ultimately streamlining agent workflows and allowing them to accomplish their daily tasks in record time.

In today's episode, I had the privilege of speaking with John Foong, a phenomenal sales leader, who is making a big impact. John has worked for some of the world's biggest organisations, including McKinsey, Google, Uber, and now is the Chief Revenue Officer at Domain Group, Australia's leading property marketplace. John considers himself an accidental sales leader, but has also discovered that his unconventional pathway to sales leadership has also become one of his key differentiators. We discuss how sales leadership is a prelude to corporate leadership, how sales touches every part of a business, the critical importance of building trusted advisor status, as well as 4 keys to building a robust & high performing sales environment. I trust you enjoy listening to the conversation as much as I enjoyed having the conversation. To connect with John, please go to https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfoong/

In this special episode, self-proclaimed data nerd Arjun Paliwal is joined by another self-labelled data geek, John Foong, to scrutinise what strategy works best in a market downturn. Arjun, head of research at InvestorKit, sits down with the chief revenue officer at Domain to peruse current market conditions and unpack why a “feast-or-famine” view of the real estate market can result in costly investing mistakes. Drawing from his extensive experience as an investor across different countries and his established career across several industries, John explains why optimising holding phases and taking advantage of buying windows no matter the phase of the market cycle ultimately trumps the timing-the-market investment strategy. The duo also give their predictions for the trends that emerged during the pandemic, such as the tree-change and sea-change trends and pore over the data points (both historical and present) to back their belief that the property market's current downswing will not be as detrimental as pessimists paint it to be.

Technology and the digital world continues to change the way we engage with property. John Foong from Domain talks about what it means for you. It wasn't long ago when access to property information and resources was scant and real estate agents held all the cards. Now the tables have turned, we have the control and access to more information than we could ever need - some good, some bad! How do we successfully navigate this new and ever improving world, where property business is now conducted anywhere at any time from the palm of your hand? Where is property heading and what are the challenges and disruptive emerging innovations moving forward that will continue to transform our property experience? At the crossroads of all of this is the Domain Group, where Domain is positioned as a leading property marketplace that aims to inspire confidence for all of life's property decisions, providing us with a suite of unique data, products, technology and insights to guide all of our property journeys. And to give us a rare peek under the hood of this exciting and ever expanding world and where it's heading and what it means to you, we're joined by Domain's recently appointed Chief Revenue Officer, John Foong, who brings a wealth of leading global leadership and innovation to the world of Australian property. John has come from a family of real estate investors - his parents are from Malaysia and Hong Kong, and when they came to Australia in the 1970s, they invested in property to pay for schooling when they had John and his sister, and found a niche in buying/flipping homes, specifically in NSW. This is where his passion for property started, and inspired him to start creating his own portfolio as soon as he had his first paycheck during University.  He's Invested in a range of properties from apartments, retirement and family homes in tourist areas like Cairns, and has had great success with investments in places like Darwin and Perth. He spent the next 17 years away from Australia but continued to invest locally. When he moved to the US in 2013, he started shifting investments from Australia into Silicon Valley - mostly houses, but a combination of commercial (fast food chains) and syndicates (hotels). John has been with Domain since September 2021, returning to Australia for the opportunity.
