A leader’s job is to make other leaders.” – Aaron Hendon When I asked my guest Aaron Hendon to share a lesson of leadership as I do with all of my Absolute Advantage guests, I thought the idea he shared about developing the people in your organization was incredibly profound. It’s a great example of the incredible conversation we had about what a great culture looks like and what it takes to build one, which is something Aaron knows all about. His company Christine & Company is Seattle Magazine award winning company, and it is that way because of their culture. Christine & Company has turned qualified people down that didn’t gel with the rest of the team because that’s just how important culture is for a successful team, and they know it. Not only that, but they’ve let people go that have gossiped about the team because of their belief that you can’t belittle any member of the team. It takes a lot of work to build an award-winning culture like Christine & Company, but it’s so worth it because of the way your team gels with each other and makes your company so much more successful than it could be with a lesser culture. To learn how to do it in your business, please listen to this episode with Aaron Hendon. That was one of the nuggets from my conversation with Aaron Hendon that stood out the most to me. Please let me know which stood out the most to you. Thank you for listening today! I appreciate your time so very much.

Customers are taught to have the wrong business conversations with agents. How do we start educating them so they know what’s important? Why is asking about commissions the wrong thing to do? Why is lead conversion something so many people fall short on? On this episode, we talk to Aaron Hendon, who answers questions on these topics. Takeaways + Tactics If you’re in production, you can have up to 5 people in your pod. If you’re out of production and just offering support and mentorship, you can have 12. If you think of the way you communicate only, you’ll end up only attracting people in the same demographic as you and you’ll miss out. A lot of agents are moving away from the brick and mortar model to instead communicate virtually. Most agents don’t know what their average conversion ratio is-- and it’s half a percent. At the start of the show, Aaron shared on the pods within his team, and how they all do live lead generation. Next, we talked about why agents doing calls from home with virtual team check-in is so powerful. We also discussed the opportunities you miss when you only hire people in the same demographic as yourself. We also discussed: - How to use a book to grease the wheels of conversion - How to sell the value your team offers - The biggest dysfunction agents have Society has created the expectation that the only conversation we should be having is around commission, because consumers don’t see the difference in value from what one agent offers over another. That’s why it’s our role as team leaders to train our people to encourage the right conversations. As we offer value to retain, train and recruit the agents within our organization, we need to empower them with the ability to engage with their leads and sphere of influence in the way they like to communicate. We need to always empower our agents by giving them the very best tools out there. Guest Bio- Aaron Hendon is a Seattle Realtor, real estate investor, author, educator and speaker.
