7. • What are my major
business goals?
• Short-term
• Mid-term
• Long-term
• How will my business change?
• Are there buyout opportunities?
8. For agents, this has to be very specific.
Keep a strategic daily calendar defining your work
habits and what specifically you will do.
Know your waterfall:
75 sales calls = 1 appointment
3 appointments = 1 signed listing/buyers agreement
2 signed agreements = 1 ratified contract
1.5 ratified contracts = 1 closed transaction
9. Know your cash flow.
Monetize all costs into each closed transaction.
$12,000/yr marketing
+ $3,000/yr franchise fee
+ $600/yr E&O insurance
+ $4000/yr office/gas/business
$19,600 total expenses
divided over 18 transactions in 2012
$1,089 per transaction
10. Know your cash flow.
Using this method, subtracting “cost of goods”
expenses from each transaction gives me my
positive, pre-tax cash flow projections.
Example:
I close as the buyer’s agent on a $200,000 home
offering 3% to the buyer’s agent. I grossed $6,000.
I split 40% with my broker, I’m left with $3,600.
$3,600 - $1,089 (Cost of goods) = $2,511 profit.
11. What is my product?
• Service : how do I market myself?
• Listing : how do I market my listing?
Who is my target?
What medium does my target
consume?
12. Get specific about your waterfall.
• Where do continued flow of clients come from?
• Provided the waterfall works as projected, how
does that translate to profitability?
75 calls = 1 appointment
3 appointments = 1 agreement signed
2 signed agreements = 1 ratified contracts
1.5 ratified contract = 1 closing
Average home price is $200,000
Cost of doing business = $1,089 per transaction
Take home $2,511 per transaction with current broker split
13. What is my breakeven?
• The point at which I have all my bills paid, and I
become profitable.
What is my profitability time projection?
• How long before my initial investment is returned?
• How many sales must I make to breakeven?
• How many sales must I make to meet my
profitability projections?
