Veckans gäst är Anna Martinkari som är VD på Mindshare. I det här avsnittet pratar jag med henne om det faktum att - ja, svåra samtal är just svåra - men samtidigt kan det också vara det schysstaste att göra för någon annan. Det är också ett avsnitt där vi pratar om vikten av att man har ett eget ansvar för att fundera över vilken kontext man funkar i och inom vilka ramar man som bäst kan nyttja sin kompetens. Men såklart är det också ett ansvar man har som ledare - att försöka skapa den kontexten för dem. Och just det där att utvecklas som ledare är också något jag och Anna pratar om. För henne har det varit en resa som gått lite ifrån det där att klä på sig en kostym till att känna att man på riktigt kan vara autentisk och sann mot den man är. Vilket ju faktiskt är avgörande för ledarskap och att skapa en organisation med tillit och innovation. Avsnittet sponsras av: Exsitec AB Klippning: Oscar Zachrisson Jingel: Ludvig Gawell

Every real estate agent operates under two different markets: the market and your market. The problem is, most agents are focused on the market and allow their results to be dictated by external factors. The market is interest rates, inventory levels, total homes sold, inflation, and tariffs.Your market is your listings, your pendings, your days on market, your client pipeline, your lead conversions. Here's the good news: You control your market no matter how bad the market is. It's important to stay informed about what's happening out there, but the agents who consistently perform don't let the market determine their success. They focus on creating a market within the market, a market of sellable homes, well-positioned listings, and daily actions that drive results. You don't have to be a victim of the market. You can control your results, by controlling your actions. It doesn't matter how many homes sell in your zip code this month. What matters is how many of your homes sell. And that comes down to three things: your attitude, your approach, and your expectations. How do we stop letting our businesses rise and fall with the market? How do we change our approach to win in any market? In this episode, we talk about how to separate the market from your market, and how to outperform whatever's going on in the market. Things You'll Learn In This Episode The market vs. your market Agents blame the market when things aren't going well, and take credit in a good market. How do we learn to take ownership in any market? You're not the market, you're the messenger Most expired overpriced listings aren't the seller's fault. It's the agent who failed to inform the seller properly. How should we approach expired listings to set the seller up for success? Mindshare + momentum = market share In this market, we have to build market share through consistent communication. Why get discouraged when a lead doesn't convert right away?
