Coaching Corner: Contemplating the idea of service
By Marilou Butcher Roth
This industry is at a point of change. We need to be open to how the consumer views the industry and us as representatives of this industry. I believe we, as REALTORS, need to change at our deepest levels. I believe we need to reconnect to our individual core values and project those values out into our business. This society has become one of fear. Consumers are finding themselves in situations where they feel they need to guard themselves, afraid that someone is going to get the best of them somehow. Agents are afraid that their clients might now buy, or might not buy from them, and they are afraid to present the Buyer contract to them, fearing they are being too pushy.
Where is the answer within all of this fear? We can only be responsible for ourselves. But…what if you became the change? What would happen if you shifted into wondering each morning how you might be of service? Just by asking the question, you will find yourself accessing answers that will surprise you.
I invite you to become an agent of change today! Reconnect to what is truly important in this world and find the difference YOU make!
