I joined the real estate industry in 2008 after a long career in the finance industry.

I have been a licensed real estate agent personally since 2010.

I had an unusual start as I commenced working for the Real Estate Academy, a strategic sales training company. I learned what the best sales agents in the country were doing to perform at the highest levels, all while running the academy for 3 years even before starting to work at a real estate office.

I was then a selling Principal for 2.5 years on the Central Coast, NSW, before relocating back to Sydney, where I shortly after started a 7-year career with McGrath.

McGrath is the largest residential real estate business in Australia, owning 27 company offices in NSW & QLD at that time. I started as a sales manager and worked my way up to the Head of Sales (Director of Sales). Sales Managers at McGrath, being company-owned, predominantly worked as coaches. At one point, I was coaching and managing 50 agents plus their teams.

I now work as a high-performance coach, and I am one of the few people who can coach from experience, having been an agent, sales manager, general manager, and an executive in the real estate industry.

    Building Rapport and Understanding Client Needs

    Building Rapport and Understanding Client Needs

    Today we're talking about a fundamental aspect of successful client interactions: understanding the "What's In It For Me" aka WIIFM principle. In most coaching sessions, I often emphasise the importance of considering the WIIFM factor. This concept is crucial because sometimes, we can get caught up talking about ourselves or our results, rather than focusing on what truly matters to our clients.
    Whether you're prospecting, in a listing presentation, or overcoming objections, never lose sight of what's in it for your client. It's essential to highlight to them why your services or benefits are important to them, because ultimately, people's number one subject is themselves.

    The Unnegotiable Edge in Real Estate Sales

    Michael highlights that successful agents treat prospecting as an essential activity, equating its importance to that of oxygen. By sharing an example of a high performer who dedicates a set time to prospecting despite a busy schedule, Michael illustrates the critical impact of such discipline on sales success. He encourages listeners to trick their minds into prioritising and committing to these crucial tasks by finding and dedicating at least an hour a day to growth-related activities, even in a packed schedule. Michael also touches on the psychological aspect of habit formation, suggesting that forming productive habits requires deliberate effort and consistency over a period, typically 66 days.
