Have you ever had a friend or neighbor tell you “Hey, sorry, we know you’re in real estate, but we’re going to go with this other agent”?

It can feel like a punch to the gut! In fact, I’ve seen many real estate agents complaining about this on social media.

This is part of being a real estate agent, and we’ve got to get used to it. But did you know that you can turn this into an opportunity to learn and grow as an agent?

Listen to this week’s Tip Tuesday to see how I flip adversity into opportunity!

Thanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn’t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback! Make sure that you give us a rating and review on iTunes: that would mean the world to me, and will help us get even more amazing guests on our Friday episodes of the show.

Highlights of this episode:

• 
  
• 
  

  We all have had that experience where someone has chosen a different real estate agent instead of us.

  
  
  
• 
  

  When this happens, make sure to wish them the best!

  
  
  
• 
  

  Ask for feedback: “can you tell me why you chose a different agent?”

  
  
  
• 
  

  To avoid putting them on the spot, tell them that they are helping you become a better agent, and serve your clients and leads at a higher level.

  
  
  
• 
  

  “The more that I learn about why people choose what they do, the better I can serve.”

  
  
  
• 
  

  Asking for feedback like this is hard, but it will help you be better!

  
  
  
• 
  

  You may get feedback that something you are doing is turning away potential customers.

  
  
  
• 
  

  This can help you avoid complacency and keep up with technology.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Remember: some of the wealthiest people in the world were created during the most challenging times.
