GRIT: The Real Estate Growth Mindset
Business
Join Brian Charlesworth, founder of Sisu, and Melanie Meier, COO of the Atkinson Team at eXp Realty and Co-founder of Real Estate Growth Solutions, as they discuss Melanie's unique role in the Canadian Real Estate industry, sharing the intricacies of the Canadian real estate market, the transformative power of automation with Sisu, and the nuances of real estate coaching.
Melanie has a sharp focus on operations and systems, she bridges critical gaps in the industry. Her team's structured onboarding, enriched by a comprehensive LMS, provides agents with a robust foundation. Training spans a spectrum, from hands-on demos by co-founders setting appointments to strategies for dealing with buyers and sellers. This dual approach not only empowers their agents but also enhances the value they offer to their coaching clients.
Melanie also emphasizes the "We" philosophy, where team unity is paramount. This philosophy ensures that everyone has each other's back and contributes positively to the overall team dynamic. Also, she shares an interesting tidbit on working with a partner in real estate – clarity in roles and communication is vital.
A game-changer in their operations has been Sisu, which streamlined their processes. From transaction coordination to agent performance analytics, it's been indispensable. Further, automation's role can't be downplayed. With systems in place for tasks like client gifting, the agents can focus on what they do best: prospecting and closing deals.
