A coach with 75,000 hours of private coaching experience argues that top agents don't invent new methods—they copy what works. Interview successful peers about their marketing, lead generation, and listing launch cadences, then replicate those systems in your own business.

Have you ever asked yourself, why is it that some people do exceptionally well and other people from the same company, the same environment, seem to just kind of struggle to be successful? Well, I can tell you, after 75,000 hours of private coaching sessions, one of the most important things the outliers do is they emulate other people who are already succeeding. They actually take the time to go interview the top agents in their area and across the country to figure out what is it that they do from a demand standpoint. Marketing, lead generation, follow up, conversion, what tech they use, how do they do it, what's the cadence of how they do it. And then they figure out the operational side, like how we launch the listings. How do we make sure that every time we launch a listing, we get two or three more other listings? What they don't do. I know, I said that fast. What they don't do is try and reinvent the wheel. First principle thinking is always, hey, there's someone that's already done it. I can do it like they've done it. That's good. I can do it better than they've done it. That's obviously better. Or I can try and reinvent this as a whole new category or a whole new solution. But the bottom line is this. They're not thinking alone. They're looking and observing what's happening in their marketplace. And they're asking themselves, who is already doing this at a super high level? What are they doing? Can I borrow some of that? Can I R and D some of that? And then can I make it my own? Think about it today as we go into the spring market. Do you really want to reinvent the wheel or do you want to finally, once and for all, no editing here. Just find out what everybody else doing that's working and do more of that. It's up to you.
