Real Estate Leadership Development Programs like ICC's instill the importance of creating a "production-centric" environment in real estate organizations. Here's some ideas how!

In the competitive real estate industry, effective real estate leadership development programs are essential for agents to succeed. Today, we’ll talk about how these programs can create a “production-centric” environment that drives results and boosts agent performance.

Listen along on our podcast, watch the video below, or read this blog to learn more!

VIDEO: Real Estate Leadership Development Programs – Create a ‘Production-Centric’ Environment

The need for a “production-centric” environment

Agents’ disconnection during slow markets

When the real estate season slows down, real estate agents often start to feel disengaged, affecting their productivity and income. This is what we call “migration time,” when agents tend to leave brokerages because of financial constraints. Unfortunately, agents tend to blame their lack of success on their environment — hence the need for leaders to address this issue.

Agents’ reliance on passive approaches

It’s important to realize the challenges of passive lead generation. That’s why ICC’s real estate leadership development programs focus on empowering agents to grow their business in a proactive, instead of reactive, way.

We provide comprehensive training to help you get the most from your lead generation activities. Despite so many available strategies, most agents wait for business to come to them — rather than the other way around. It’s crucial to shift your agents’ mindsets and to give them the necessary skills that will help them become more active when generating business.

As leaders, it’s important that we try to do your part to create a “production-centric” environment — an environment where agents feel that they are in the best situation to be able to generate business, and ultimately income.

Group Call Sessions – boosting engagement and productivity

Definition and benefits of Group Call Sessions

Group Call Sessions, also known as “call nights,” are a key resource in our real estate leadership development programs. These interactive sessions bring agents together to engage in lead generation activities. The benefits are twofold: agents are held accountable and become more  responsible as a result, and the energy of working in a group creates a contagious enthusiasm that drives results.

Diversifying communication channels

ICC’s real estate leadership development programs help leaders recognize how important it is to have more than one communication channel. As a result of using more than one channel of communication, agents become more effective and gain more new clients. In addition to phone calls, agents are encouraged to use texts, social media messages, emails, and other digital tools to expand their reach — as well as to engage with potential clients more efficiently.

Creating a fun and motivating experience

You have to maximize participation and productivity. For that reason, our real estate leadership development programs emphasize the need to make Group Call Sessions enjoyable. Given that incorporating contests, prizes, and themes adds an element of excitement, it’s not surprising that our agents have fun with these sessions. Another key point: by encouraging competition and  promoting a positive atmosphere among agents, the sessions become the highlight of their week.

The best thing you can do within your power as a leader is to focus on having a “production-centric” environment.

Brian Icenhower

Making Group Call Sessions effective

Voluntary or mandatory attendance

Attending Group Call Sessions is not mandatory. However, agents who don’t participate in the sessions won’t get the same benefits those who do. Why? Because we’ve designed our real estate leadership development programs around active participation. In the long run, agents who willingly engage in these sessions experience not only more results from their lead generation efforts, but also more success overall.

Retention benefits and agent excuses

So many agents complain that they can’t make enough income to survive the real estate industry, and then give up. The whole point of our real estate leadership development programs is to show the value of creating and maintaining a “production-centric” environment. In turn, we address some of the most common agent excuses for not making enough money.

ICC gives agents the tools, guidance, and support they need to succeed, while empowering agents to take ownership of their long-term success. Agents who attend our Group Call Sessions can no longer blame “the market,” or other outside factors, for their personal shortcomings.
