Challenges are Common

The most experienced and successful REALTORS® in the world understand that struggling is common. Even the best agents in the world will go through slumps. They are normal. Just keep working through them and you will soon experience a long streak of successful sales.

Expect and Understand The Sales Plateau

Sales will often plateau after a sales slump. Again, this is normal. During this period real estate team leaders are trying to integrate new skills and techniques into their sales process to get out of the sales slump. This period takes some adjusting, but is almost always followed by a period of great success.

Focus on Setting New Goals Regularly

In order to do more and sell more you need to stay motivated. Sometimes even highly successful real estate agents, brokers and team leaders have a difficult time trying to stay motivated over the course of their career. This is because they get used to hitting their quota year after year, and don’t challenge themselves to achieve something greater. It’s important to challenge yourself with different, more challenging goals as you grow.
