Top Agent Tips To Skyrocket Your Productivity

Keller Williams has some of the most successful agents on the planet, in part because they’ve embraced key organization habits for maximum productivity. A poll by Office Depot found that this isn’t unique to real estate agents. In general, 82% of people felt the more organized they were, the better they performed in the workplace.
Luckily, organization isn’t an attribute you’re born with, but rather a skill that can be learned. All you have to do is be consistent over the course of 66 days to create habits that put you on a path to success.
Here are six organizational habits that top agents teach their teams that you can learn from too.
1. They Keep Their Goals at the Forefront
Top agents understand that a goal-oriented mindset is essential to achieving every milestone they want to reach. And with it, they need to have strong organizational habits. They are able to produce huge results, because everything is organized around their big goal, or ONE Thing. Similarly, focusing on your ONE Thing enables you to let go of the nonessential items that create clutter and derail you from a productive path.
2. They Use the 80/20 Rule to Organize Their Priorities
When creating time blocks, top agents use the 80/20 Rule to organize their schedule. The 80/20 Rule, discussed in detail in The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (p. 98), is based around the idea that 20% of your work tends to produce 80% of your results. Productive workers identify their most important 20% tasks and organize their workday around getting them done first and foremost. The rest can be handled later or delegated to someone else.
3. They Surround Themselves with the Right People
No matter how productive and organized you are, it is impossible to make big things happen all on your own. Top agents not only recognize this but make a point to surround themselves with other organized individuals that have the strengths and skills they may lack. Then, they delegate out tasks accordingly, so that everyone is working toward the same goal and ramping up the productivity of everyone as a whole.
Delegation means having the RIGHT people on your team, beginning with an assistant.
“The first (and arguably the most important) hire you should make as a real estate agent or entrepreneur is an assistant. It’s the first point of leverage that allows you to start working in your strength zone and on the 20% of tasks that make the most impact on the bottom line of your business.”
