Goal Setting Roadmap: Client Relationships

Successful real estate agents have one thing in common and that is their main focus is on their clients.

Success only comes to those, and only those, who are obsessed with making sure their clients are well taken care of. This means past clients as well as current clients.

Your clients today are smarter, more educated and have higher expectations of what you can do for them, so blow their mind with your knowledge of your market and the markets as a whole. Just knowing your community is great, but expand on that knowledge and do the research so when someone is moving in that local knowledge comes into play, but also know the market they are coming from so you can share with them the difference if there is one.

In the world we live in today customer service is lets’ just say…. not like it used to be, but you can change that. Deliver high-end customer service to every single client and you will win them for life.

You need to work a little harder in today’s world to show your client you have their true goals in mind and that you are here to help them achieve it.

I am one that expects high-end customer service from every business. From the person who takes my order through a speaker to the doctor’s office. It is not hard and it doesn’t cost anything to go that extra mile to show them you truly care.

So, let’s discuss your roadmap on how this will look for your business so you can put these ideas into place so when you start following this plan you are already set up to implement.

First, you have to create your strategy on how you build the relationship with every scenario.

Leads – 0-3 months out

3-6 months out

6-9 months out

9-12 months out

Past Client:

What are you going to deliver that makes them want more?

Each month you either reach out with information or call to talk to them or pop-by face to face

What will you do this year to celebrate your clients

Get personal

Birthday

Home Anniversary

Milestones in their lives – how will you celebrate with them

Social Media – you will want to connect with them so you can interact as they post.

What is going on in their life that you can celebrate with them?

Birthdays

Milestones

Family announcements

Business Changes

Children’s progress

Animals they post about

Death in the family

Social media is a great way to stay on top of what is going on with your clients and by paying attention you can act on what they have going on.

Say they just go a new car – send them a $20.00 gift card for car washes at the local car wash, or maybe a gas card, drop by a tote for their car. This is a great one to do since no one else is doing it, but let’s say your client got a new car, their child.

Tote filled all things for the car. You can check out my Amazon store for some ideas. Look for “The Car”. This is a popular thing to do for clients. Unusual, but needed for peace of mind. And, you could throw that gift card in with the tote.

When someone has a baby, graduates, etc send a card with a small gift. Diapers, baby wipes, etc are always a great gift. Again, I have some great baby gift ideas at my Amazon Store to help you save time.

New pet in the house – put together a variety of pets items to deliver to them. Amazon store

Make sure to always post on their feed when appropriate.

Putting a strategy together on how you will stay in touch with clients will be the heart of your business, so make it fun and just imagine how much they will appreciate you and from there it will bring you referrals, repeat business and when you do it from the heart it is always a win win.

When I have worked with clients on this area of their business, we not only saw an increase of returning clients, but an influx of referrals from those past clients and the satisfaction of knowing your efforts are appreciated and that is a great feeling to know you made that client feel important or special.

Values become real only when you demonstrate them in the way you act.

Goals and Values define the playing field and rules of the game.

The golden Rule of Management is Value individuals as persons.
