Bartering makes a great come-back as Business people learn leverage

NO ONE Succeeds alone!

Every business relies on LEADS to bring new "Listings" (Customers/Clients) and must develop appropriate LEVERAGE in order to sufficiently navigate the intricacies of the business and serve the needs of the clients.

We build LEVERAGE through:

- adoption of sound MODELS (Success Leads Clues - follow a business model that is working for other professionals in your field - MREA)

- Innovative creation of SYSTEMS which enable EFFICIENCY and FLOW so that the mechanical aspects of our business happen automatically in a uniform and consistent manner

- Our relationships with and THROUGH PEOPLE

Many folks understand LEVERAGE in theory, but have great difficulty when it comes to implementation because of those darned LIMITING BELIEFS swimming around in their heads and coming from other people in their environment.

A few of those limiting beliefs might be:

"It's costly and I don't have enough MONEY to sufficiently leverage my business."

"If I have to HIRE someone, I'll have to TRAIN & MANAGE them, I don't have TIME for that!"

"I don't know HOW!"

Done right, Leveraging your business does not have to cost a bunch of money or time and is not all that difficult.

Consider the power of BARTERING . . . Wikipedia defines Bartering as:

"Bartering is a medium in which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods and/or services without a common unit of exchange (without the use of money).^[1] It can be bilateral or multilateral, and usually exists parallel to monetary systems in most developed countries, though to a very limited extent. Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, when the currency is unstable and devalued by hyperinflation. Bartering is still common in the present, usually used within the Internet on sites like Craigslist.^{[2] "}

You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.

My favorite termite inspector leverages my time by handling the termite inspection without me having to meet him by dealing directly with my Sellers . . . He gets a LOT of business from me because I tell ALL of my REALTOR friends how great he is. He's leveraging my time while I leverage his Lead generation.

My favorite home inspector does the same . . . and is a very reliable resource when I need home maintenance advice and/or referrals for sub-contractors.

My favorite home maintenance company bids any work I might need within 24 hours of my call ALWAYS and has NEVER failed to complete the work on time . . .and he handles the details directly with the client.

My favorite Title Company handles virtually ALL of my contract to close details by maintaining contact with all parties to the transaction and solving issues as they arrise . . . They call me weekly to up-date me.

A tech savvy newly licensed agent can barter with a seasoned veteran . . . "I'll spool you on the current technology and set up your leverage SYSTEMS while you MENTOR me to develop my business"

NONE of this costs extra MONEY or TIME!

Where do YOU need leverage?

What do you have in your "bag of tricks" that you can trade for what you need?

"Get this" bartering/leverage thingie, and you'll find yourself with plenty of time for generating ample leads to fuel an extremely lucrative career.

I'm just sayin'

Best,
