Latest update from me
It’s been a busy end to the week as I attend a two day conference in London. Although this takes me out of my business and normally means I have to work over the weekend and more evenings to catch up, I find events like this highly valuable and are always a good resource for finding golden nuggets of advice and new ways of working.
Agent Rainmaker Live is an event geared towards lettings and property management agents who want to scale their business to the next level. It’s not radically changing the way lettings agents conduct their business, but it forces them to look within their current business and maximise on what they have before scaling up.
I don’t currently offer this a a service within my business but the reason I am here is to fact find and network with industry experts and like minded agents already doing this.
I currently manage my own portfolio and am sitting on the fence of whether or not to add this as a service further down the line and bring a full end to end product to my clients. Essentially a one stop shop.
Golden nuggets so far…
- Optimise ways of working of how I currently run my business
- Systemise, delegate and outsource 80% of my tasks and focus on core growth
- activities
- Picked up a highly useful way of recruiting A* grade employees when the time comes to expand my team
- Double down on lead funnels to generate more business and conversions
- Stop doing things for free and believe in the value I am offering
Now this isn’t ground breaking stuff, it’s actually pretty standard advice for most businesses in most industries. There is more detail that underpins these ways of working which I will talk in more detail in the future newsletters, but the key takeaway for me is about implementing these ideas to promote growth and following through on my plan.
Networking with lettings and property agents is also one of the biggest lead generators for off market properties that I can bring to my clients. So I’m in the right room.
There is also loads of free food and drinks which is the real reason I’m here. Just kidding.
Fun fact about me.
Seeing as I got up at 4am on Thursday morning and drove down from Manchester to be here, I decided to continue on to Ashford in Kent to visit family and friends over the weekend.
Will be good to catch up with nieces and nephews over the weekend. Also squeeze in some time to have a couple of cheeky Nelson Mandela’s with me old man.
10 points if you know the cockney rhyming slang for that haha
