Real estate is a simple business, but the tools for success can be challenging to implement. How do we make sure we’re spending time on productive activities and not support activities? How do we develop the strength and fortitude to push through the teething issues of a new business? How do you weave core values into the team’s operations and the hiring process? On this episode, Wes Madden talks about the phases of growth his business has gone through, the attitude he applies to implementing growth strategies and the importance of core values. The implementation is where the majority of the failures come from. -Wes Madden   3 Things We Learned From This Episode   How to tell if you’re doing dollar productive activities (06:18 - 08:10) There’s a difference between support activities and dollar productive activities. In order to see what you’re spending time on, break down your schedule to 15 or 30 minute blocks and write down what you did in each time block. Use different color markers to highlight if the activity was dollar productive or support.   The importance of humble implementation (12:26 - 13:00 ) When you’re starting out, you have to be able to have the intentional fortitude to stick to it even when it hurts. If you stick to it enough and make it a habit. By the time it’s a part of you, you’ve forgotten how painful it was to implement.     Infuse every part of the business with your core values (19:35 - 20:31) You should be relating everything back to your core values, and weaving it into the fabric of the business. Recite the mission statement before and after meetings, and make the values go beyond the office.  Make sure you’re not making concessions on core values and culture fit because that can destroy the company.   Success in real estate is activity based and if we have the discipline to do what we’re supposed to do, the desired result will follow. We have to be putting our time towards activities that actually make money and grow the business. Core values have to be brought into everything we do, and not just something we claim once in a while. If we follow the right steps, set up the right systems, and track everything, the effort will always pay off.   Guest Bio- Wes Madden is a Real Estate agent for Scenic Sotheby's International Realty in Santa Rosa Beach, FL.

Everyone’s heard of the concept of creating salable brokerages, but what about salable teams? How can we cultivate leaders that are capable of guiding the team to success even if we aren’t there? How do we keep talent turnover low? In this episode, Wes Madden shares how he built a salable team and what he learned throughout the process.   Be somebody that makes people feel like somebody. -Wes Madden Takeaways + Tactics Focusing on our team’s growth is a way for us to build towards stepping out of production. Our job is not personal development, but the team’s development. If we want to sell our business, we need to determine our profitability. The first step is to make a formal evaluation. This can shed some light on who’s making the most profit in the company. Our companies shouldn’t be built only on people. We also need systems and a database to keep everything together even if some of the key agents decide to leave. In the beginning of the episode, we talked about stepping out of production, creating a team that can be sold, and knowing your profit margin. We also covered: How to make agents feel like they’re part of the company, not just working for the company What the most important assets of a business are It’s not just brokerages that can be sold— teams can be too, if they have systems, a database, and loyal agents. We start building a salable team when we make our agents feel like they work for themselves and for their growth, rather than the company’s growth. When we find people who share our vision, it’s our job to share our knowledge and develop leaders instead of fearing that they might leave after we coach them. As long as we build a pleasant work environment and give people enough financial incentive, our rockstar agents will stay with us.
