Real estate is a business of hustle. Agents are constantly on their grind, working hard to generate new business opportunities, lock in success for current clients, and grow their brand's market share.
But, this routine can easily cause burnout -- and burnout causes inefficiency and reduced productivity. Even when you're putting in your best, burnout can actually make you work more hours and close fewer deals.
Agents who are feeling the wear and tear of burnout, it's time to recharge your batteries so you're ready and able to excel. Here's how to regroup, reduce your stress, and become more productive.
We all know what it feels like to be sitting in front of your computer when you're not in the right headspace.
When you're running out of gas, take a moment to recalibrate and come back to the task instead of trying to speed through it. Rather than wasting time and inviting errors, you'll be able to efficiently complete your tasks.
Studies show that investing time in "strategic renewal" can substantially increase your productivity at work. These activities might seem like slacking off, but they're actually helping you streamline and optimize your workflow:
Pro Tip: Start scheduling in time for self-care within your workday. Whether it's a quick nap, exercise break, healthy snack, or just a moment of "me time," you'll prevent burnout and keep your mood and energy up. It can also be helpful to plan out regular day trips or mini-vacations to help you clear your head and recalibrate.
Have you heard of the Urgent-Important Matrix, also known as the Eisenhower Matrix? This is a system that helps busy individuals prioritize their to-do lists by identifying the most urgent tasks.
This system was actually invented by President Eisenhower to help him strategically move through his daily task list. The Eisenhower Matrix is perfect for busy agents, whose workloads usually consist of very different tasks — like client outreach, transaction to-do's, phone calls, and open houses.
To begin using the Eisenhower Matrix, you'll be segmenting your tasks into four categories:
It only takes a few minutes in your morning to get organized and schedule your tasks for the day. Try using the Eisenhower Matrix every day for two weeks to see if it helps you become more productive, on-task, and methodical.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to share this system with your team. At your weekly team meeting, it might be helpful to conduct a business-wide Eisenhower Matrix session where your team prioritizes and schedules out tasks that need to be completed that week.
Spreading yourself too thin? You don't need to be glued to your desk 24/7 to be productive. If you feel like you have too much to do with too little time, take some of the responsibilities off of your plate by leveraging digital automation tools.
One of the best areas of work that agents can automate is their lead generation and follow-up. In addition to freeing up your schedule, automation tools can actually help you reach more leads and provide better, faster customer service.
For example, today's leads demand instant service. It's likely that you're not able to follow up with every new online lead within a few seconds — but an automated system can ensure that you're hitting every mark, every time, at the right time.
When it comes to keeping in touch with your CRM prospects, automation can ensure that you're staying top of mind with everyone, including your previous clients. Scheduling custom outreaches to your database contacts and nurturing new leads are both covered when you deploy a system like BoomTown's Success Assurance.
