So one month closes and we start another. As ever we look at
the figures which determine if it was a success or not. Watching the
Olympics over the weekend it is very apparent who is great and who is not and
it is clear who has the talent and who when talent has been combined with hard
work blow the competition away. Usain Bolt and Ben Ainsley spring straight to
mind. I started to draw comparisons between what makes a great athlete and what
makes a great estate agent. There are so many similarities! such as dedication,
persistence, hard work, team work, stamina, strategy, communication etc. and
then I wondered why there are no gold medals for estate agents?
Clearly there
is no justice in the world but then competing estate agents is not really very
interesting is it! If there was an estate agent games then I am sure Bradleys
would have a few gold medallists as I am extremely proud of the efforts
everyone is making in the current tough market. In the absence of estate agent
games then there is something which is the closest we will get and it is called
Allagents. This is basically Trip Advisor for estate agents so if you are
reading this and have had a good service from us please give the office who
impressed you a gold medal and give them a review on Allagents. Just type
Allagents in to Google and complete a review of your favourite office.
As you can tell I have been watching the Olympics instead of
building this weekend so nothing to report there so what about the week ahead.
I have Directors 1:1's on Monday, Office visits on Tuesday as well as an
interview with one of our competitors Managers who is interested in working for
us. Wednesday is the August Board Meeting and Thursday I have a meeting with
the business that is destroying our industry…………Rightmove. Friday an office
visit and then the afternoon on the phone with offices and Directors rounding
off the week and seeing if any more gold medals are due!
August is usually a quiet month for estate agents, I think
there is a good chance that the public spirit is increased and there is not
much bad news about so this August we just might see better sales, let's see if
I am right.
