8. Top Agents Say: “ In to survive in a shifted market, you have to throw out the mentality of selling more houses to justify expenses and manage your P&L. Once your costs are manageable, just image how profitable you’ll be when the market picks back up.” Greg Ismay, KW North Raleigh “ I use the chart of accounts in the MREA book. It’s changed my business. I now have more control of my money. I know where its going and when its coming.” Christina Valkanoff, KW North Raleigh

14. Top Agents Say: “ You have to lead generate at least three hours per day especially in this “shifted” market. That’s our job – we are in the lead generation business! What worked last year doesn’t work this year. You’ve got to change your mindset and “Just Do It.” Michelle Edwards, KW North Raleigh “ Marketing provides great leverage, but it costs money. Lead generation is a much more cost effective way of generating business.” Greg Ismay, KW North Raleigh
15. Keller Williams Realty: “ Our agents know the difference between “Lead Receiving” and “Lead Generating”. Lead receiving leaves an agent dependent on their broker. When the market shifts, they don’t know how to survive. Agents who have developed systems for lead generation will thrive in any market.”

17. Top Agents Say: “ You have to know your scripts and when you do, conversion should be your most profitable activity.” Greg Ismay, KW North Raleigh “ Most agents never master lead conversion. In a sellers market, anyone could convert a lead. Now you have to be a master at your scripts, dialogs and listening skills. I was an average agent who happened to be working in a strong market. Now, I’m a great agent working a slow market.” Keith Bliss, KW Cary

23. Top Agents Say: “ Shift gave me the tools to show my clients the wisdom of ‘pricing ahead of the market’ and get it sold, now!” Bill Fletcher, KW Cary At a recent listing presentation, while competing with two other high producing agents for the business, I drew the graphs on pages 150-153 regarding being "in the market" and "out of the market" with regard to price and condition of their home. Rather than challenge me about my lower price for their property, they embraced the concept and became very motivated- settling on a price that was actually LOWER than what I had come up with. They also agreed to several updates I had encouraged them to do! WOW! CaraLynn Telford, KW Cary
24. Top Agents Say: The key to earning a commission is the ability of an agent to explain the market to their clients and ensure their clients price their home appropriately. If the house is not priced ahead of the market, the house will not sell. CB Johnson, KW Wilmington

They know the local market and the national market statistics. And they have access to powerful scripts to lead their sellers to self-discover the right price to get their home sold.”
