Build a Business Growth Plan in Real Estate
Kimberlee Meserve is an absolute rockstar who I met through a mastermind group, and she is killing it right now, in both life and business! After moving to Boston in 2018 without knowing anyone, she created a business growth plan driven by first-time homebuyer events and re-built her business from scratch with this approach. Now, Kimberlee has her own rapidly growing team in the Boston market, founded on the success of her well designed first-time homebuyer workshop called “Brews and Buying.” In this episode of Pursuing Freedom, Kimberlee joins us to share her journey and provide tips for growing your business in the real estate space.
When Should You Branch Out on Your Own?
Kimberlee’s business growth plan continues to yield results, because she has created an environment that provides opportunities for everyone on her team. She is very selective about who she brings into her world, and she works hard to value that is unmatched in the marketplace. While the team model may not work for everyone, Kimberlee is thriving as a team leader. In order to grow your business in the real estate space, it’s important to create a business model and a work environment that cater to your strengths. This is the foundation for achieving growth and scale, and sometimes, branching out on your own from the get-go is the right move.
Track Your Numbers From Day One
Any growth activities you do should be approached with a business mindset, and your results should be tracked. That is why Kimberlee’s business growth plan is built around creating predictability. Many agents make the mistake of waiting for business to fall onto their plate. But when you are tracking your numbers day-in and day-out, you are forced to understand where you stand in relation to your goals. Tracking enables you to constantly tweak your action plan with finite adjustments so you are always moving the needle and making progress toward your goals. If you want to grow your real estate business this is one of the critical practices that will help you stay consistent.
