Tom Panos: How To Win More Listings

“The agent who generates the most appointments will win,” says Tom Panos, a leading real estate coach and trainer.

Those who want success the most are the ones who end up with it.

“If you want to win more listings, you simply have to see more people. The agent who generates the most appointments wins in real estate – end of story,” he says.

Successful agents are not only ok with rejection; they use it to propel them to continue prospecting.

“Establish yourself in the market, not in the office. Other agents in your office do not pay your wages. Vendors pay your wages. Let go of the addiction of being liked by everyone.”

Tom Panos Shares His Listing Presentation Strategy

Agents can use rivals’ listing brochures as a way to stand out in the lounge room and position themselves as local experts.

As a coach to some of the top million dollar agents across Australasia, here’s a listing presentation tip to differentiate yourself that has proven to work.

Firstly, you need to visit the open homes in your farm area, collect brochures, making notes about the properties – and then bring this portfolio of marketing material and analysis to the listing presentations.

Then the next time you’re at a listing presentation you can sit in front of a vendor and say: 

“I’d like to let you know that when your home comes on the market you will be in competition, not in isolation. My job is to make sure that I know everything about every home that you’re up against. Let me show you the homes that your property is competing against.”

One Agency Conference 2015 Paul & Annie Davies

One Big Connection at the One Agency Conference

Last week saw our members come together from across Australia to the Langham Hotel in Sydney for our annual One Agency Conference.

It was a day when new members met more established members, faces were put to names and lots of knowledge and experience was shared.

John Stewart, our Australasian Membership Consultant was our MC for the day and he did a stellar job. John has been a major player in our move into New Zealand and we are thrilled to announce our first One Agency office has opened there  this week.

Tom Panos presented for us again, in his inimitable style and bringing great ideas and energy to the stage. Tom shared  some great tips on helping create your best financial year ever. His wealth of knowledge was as insightful and inspiring as ever.

The hotel put on a fabulous lunch and gave everyone a chance to catch up and kick back. Nick Bendel, Editor at REB online joined us for part of the day along with other guests and One Agency suppliers.

Tom Panos Rocks the One Agency Conference at Surfers Paradise

We’ve had some fantastic feedback from our two-day conference and would like thank everyone who attended and helped to make it such a successful event.

“Our very first two-day interstate conference was a major success. From the amazing speakers like Tom Panos, who nobody ever tires of seeing, he is simply inspiring every single time, to our surprise speaker Dane Atherton, who also was a stand out. Gary Pittard also shared his vast knowledge providing a diversity of information. 

Julie Davis and Neil Williams provided a valuable personality profile, which is great to assist in staff selection. Denise Stanley also helped keep our members businesses compliant. Advenda announced a new economical price structure and Tony Chadwick from Rype Ideas discussed the advantages of Google Apps, which is included in the email accounts for members. The number ONE attraction was the sharing and learning session from our very own members. 

The evening soirée was our first such event and thanks to Annie was a great success. Kate Maday and husband Andrew took out the best dressed. The One Agency ‘family’ shared and cared for each other as we always do and a lot of laughs were had by all. 
One Agency to the fore!” Paul and Annie Davies.

Tom Panos – Real Estate Myths Debunked

In this blog, taken from Real Estate Business Online, Tom Panos busts some common myths about real estate:

Myth #1: The most successful real estate salespeople are born, not made
Fact:
Incorrect. Yes, a good agent may have a tendency and inclination to be a savvier negotiator with better people skills, but these are things that can be learnt and nurtured. Research shows that at a maximum, people are operating at 50 per cent of capability which means the majority of human beings are not realising their potential.

Myth #2: Agents that write $1m in gross commission do a lot of cold calling
Fact:
There is no evidence that seven figure agents do cold calling. Seven figure agents run an attraction business that is built on momentum; their prospecting is best defined as either “warm” or “smart” calling. They simply are nurturing contacts they already have. In marketing this is called “lead nurturing”. At one stage they did have to do cold calling, but most of these agents have got to a level where they are having more calls come in than calls go out.

Christmas Cheer after a Fantastic Year for One Agency

Christmas is almost here after an extremely busy and productive year at One Agency.

We’ve seen tremendous growth in the business and 2014 is already shaping up as we continue to welcome new members into our group.

We ran two very successful conferences in July and November at Brighton Le Sands which had record attendance and a great deal of knowledge sharing among our members. One of the big advantages of joining One Agency is the mutually supportive culture of our group and I’m pleased to say that this goes from strength to strength as we grow. 

Tom Panos presented at both conferences, he gave us many useful tools to help build and grow both our businesses and our lives. If you’d like a recap of his presentations or if you didn’t make it to the conferences you can watch some videos we made of him here.
