Chris Vandervalk explains why Whissel Realty needs an agent advisory board: the leadership team lacks current transactional experience. Rachel and Katie are strong educators but don't close deals regularly. Kyle, their best closer, isn't in production. Vandervalk warns that leaders out of the field lose touch with what agents actually face.
Here's a great reason to start an agent advisory board.
And right now, Kyle's our strongest deal.
Doctor. Our director of sales, Rachel, is brilliant, but she doesn't have.
A lot of transactional knowledge.
If she's our senior leader of sales but doesn't know.
Transactional stuff.
We do have a weakness. And we have to admit that. Katie, our trainer.
Not a ton of transactional knowledge.
But a brilliant educator, really empathic, strong connection with newer agents and even our senior agents. But transactional frequency, not a lot. Kyle's not in production.
Shannon has, out of all of our leadership, probably the most.
Transactional experience as a director of operations. You know me, I'm not in production and haven't been for years. Are we qualified as these new gnar changes? Are we close enough to the pulse of what's happening? Let's be for real. We're not. We don't know. And at some point, we risk being absolutely tone deaf to our audience.
