How to Have Consistent Volume in an Inconsistent Market Using Consistent Routines

The truly inspiring Amanda Baker, a real estate agent from Durham, North Carolina, who is achieving incredible success in her business, joins Eric Thompson here today. Tackling the question so many of us ask: "How can I do it all?", Amanda shares her proven strategies for generating consistent high-volume sales in an ever-changing market, all while maintaining a rich and present family life. She also provides invaluable advice on how consistent routines are the secret to balancing a thriving real estate career with personal priorities, proving you do not have to sacrifice one for the other. In this insightful conversation, Amanda details the brilliant "every other week" schedule she created to maximize quality time with her children during the summer without letting her business skip a beat. She explains her philosophy of "doubling down" on focused work periods, which allows for greater freedom and flexibility. A key to her success is running her business like a business by planning her entire year of autoflow, including client events, pop-bys, and newsletters, well in advance. This proactive approach eliminates stress, creates seamless client experiences, and provides the structure needed to build a life by design, not by default. Episode Highlights: Balance family and work with an "every other week" system. Proactively plan a year of marketing and client events. Maximize productivity by "doubling down" on focused work. Build relationships with newsletters, pop-bys, and events. Set client boundaries while providing excellent service. Use structure and foresight for sustainable success. Build a rewarding life, not just a busy career, with Ninja principles. Key Takeaways: "The goal at end-of-year business planning is to not have to think about it for the rest of the year, honestly." "I rarely have a perfect Ninja week... It's about the consistency of doing the Ninja things." "You actually can do this. You can have a life. You can have quality time doing the things you want to do with the people you want to do them with and continue to run a successful business." "You're listening to someone who is running her business like a business." "You're never scrambling or going, 'Oh, it's too late now. We'll catch it next month.'" "Even a text reminder will just kind of start a conversation... and kind of again, start the F.O.R.D. from there." "If you have a plan and a process, you can structure your life, your business just how you want it."

"There is something about when you physically write it down in the planner...it just locks it in your mind." "A task will take as much time as you give it." "Surprises and derailments and unexpected events are pretty infrequent." "If it gets put down on paper in the same place, a place that is sacred, it is not a sticky note." "The goal of Ninja Selling is to help you increase your income per hour so that you can have a life." "You don’t have to have this amazing rolodex in your head, you have to have a system."

Ninja Coach Lonney Gordon joins Eric today to share his powerful story of transformation, from professional burnout and personal crisis fueled by a high-cost lead system to a thriving, relationship-based business and balanced life. He offers a practical roadmap away from the "hustle" mentality toward a sustainable career built on authentic connections. Listeners will hear how being tethered to his phone 24/7 (even in the shower) brought his family to a breaking point before he eliminated his $8,000/month lead spend and grew his business by over 30%. Lonney unveils his strategy for creating "live, authentic flow" by intentionally deepening existing social circles into a strong network of friends and clients. Today’s episode is a must-listen for all real estate professionals, especially those who are feeling overworked and seeking a proven path to success that prioritizes both professional and personal well-being. Episode Highlights: Lonney Gordon's personal journey from lead-dependency and burnout to a thriving, balanced life. The high cost of a transactional mindset on business and family relationships. The step-by-step process of transitioning away from paid leads to a 100% relationship-based model. How to grow your business significantly while reducing stress and working hours. The concept of creating "authentic flow" by being intentional with connections. Actionable strategies for deepening relationships within your existing social groups or "pods." The power of slowing down and making genuine connections in everyday situations. How shifting focus from "the hunt" to authentic service makes business "fall from the sky." Key Takeaways: "Ninja has not only changed my business, like you said, it has changed my life. It changes how I talk to people, changes how I have connected with people, how I have conversations." "I was spending every waking minute on my phone. I was bringing my phone in the shower with me... I was definitely on the verge of a divorce, really was not connected with my kids whatsoever." "Within six months, I had taken an $8,000 Zillow spend to nothing... I was up about 30%." "It felt like business was just falling from the sky. And it wasn't falling from the sky. It was intentional business that was achieved so much easier than this rat race, this chase, this hunt that I was going after." "The Ninja system is just merely creating authentic friendships with a system." "The reason for the call is them." "Slow down in general in life and allow yourself to connect with people everywhere." "I am never eating alone... If I'm going to the car wash, I'm going to ask a dad friend if they want to go and wash cars together."

Our experts emphasize an adaptable mindset for agents and effective leadership in directing change management, urging focus on controllables amid uncertainty. Listeners will grasp how robust relationships remain the ultimate currency in real estate brokerage and how effective culture is vital for successful mergers and enduring business growth, equipping them with strategies to thrive in this new era.

At the end of the day, this acquisition was valued, and all real estate brokerages are valued by the relationships that the agents have with their clients." "Basically, buyers and sellers choose people, and they choose that relationship." "What is happening? Okay, what is my response to what is happening? What can I control, what can I influence? Let’s focus on that."

Episode Highlights: Marty's company saw 72% growth and doubled its agent count (25 to 42) in a small market over two years.

"Mission Momentum," a gamified internal challenge with weekly behavior-based missions, drove 85% agent engagement.

Marty manages his personal business by focusing on a VIP list of 72 clients, providing highly dedicated service. This niche strategy, inspired by the "magic wand" question, enhances efficiency, reduces stress, and maintains volume. Key Takeaways: "We want to make it the best place possible for agents to work." "Everyone's one degree of separation away from each other. So those personal relationships go a lot further." "Culture was always number one." "If they do the behaviors - and it's very much a Ninja Nine -  it will lead to results." "Letting yourself down is one thing, but letting down your team is a totally different thing." "The way to do it is to get teams of people focused on activities that will then lead to the results that you want." "If you could wave your magic wand, what would it look like? And then just start yourself on a path to do that."

Chris Purser, a Ninja-powered agent from the beautiful city of Asheville, North Carolina, joins host Eric Thompson to share the story of his incredible success and pull back the curtain on a powerful strategy for getting a stalled listing sold. Chris details his journey from being a brand-new agent with no business to closing nearly $4 million in a single week, attributing his rapid growth to the Ninja system and dedicated coaching. The main event, however, is a deep dive into the “seller’s offer,” also known as the “reverse offer.” Eric and Chris walk through a real-life case study of a luxury property that had been on the market for months with dwindling activity. Chris explains how he identified a motivated seller and an interested - but hesitant - buyer and used the seller's offer strategy to break the stalemate. He provides a step-by-step account of how he presented the concept to his clients, communicated with the buyer's agent, and used standard paperwork to get the ball rolling. Listen in for valuable insights into this creative tactic that can restart a conversation, give buyers a tangible starting point, and ultimately move a challenging property to the closing table. Episode Highlights: A seller’s offer is a proactive strategy to engage a hesitant but interested buyer. Use this tactic when a listing is stalled, sellers are motivated, and a specific buyer is “kicking the tires” but won’t make an offer. Present the strategy to your sellers as a creative, outside-the-box way to “move the needle.” The process uses the same standard offer paperwork you would use for a buyer-initiated offer, just with the seller initiating and signing first. This approach removes the buyer's fear of offending the seller with a low offer and provides a concrete starting point for negotiations. Clear communication with your broker, your seller, and the other agent is essential for success. This strategy can create a sense of urgency for other potential buyers by letting them know an offer is in play. Key Takeaways: "There had to be something that needed to be thought of outside the box to try to figure out how can we get this buyer off the fence and make a decision." "The explanation that we gave was, ‘Let's try to do something to try to get them to move the needle.’" "There was from the buyer an appreciation for us doing that, which was not something that I thought that would have happened, to be quite honest." "It did start a conversation that probably wouldn't have happened had we not gone ahead and made a reverse offer."

Brett Blanchard, an incredible Ninja and top-producing agent from Louisiana, joins host Eric Thompson today to share three powerful, game-changing takeaways that have transformed his business and his mindset in the last year. Together, they dive into the simple yet profound strategies for earning what you are worth, overcoming burnout by rediscovering the fun in your work, and adapting your networking strategy when life inevitably changes.  Eric and Brett pull back the curtain on how a single change in mindset and language can lead to a 20% increase in your fee per transaction. They explore the creative and authentic ways Brett found new "flow" and client connections in unexpected places after a personal lifestyle change altered his daily routines. Brett goes on to explain how he pinpointed the administrative tasks that were draining his energy and made the decision to outsource them, a move that was funded by his increased commission and ultimately reignited his passion for the business. Listen in now to this practical and inspiring blueprint for building a more profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable real estate business. Episode Highlights: Confidently ask for the commission you deserve to increase your income. Clients will recognize your value only after you recognize it yourself. Delegate energy-draining administrative tasks to avoid burnout and focus on what you love. Reinvest your higher earnings into support systems that create more joy and profit. Evolve your networking strategies as your personal life and routines change. Find new, authentic places to connect with people that align with your interests. Authenticity is the magnet that attracts your ideal clients and your tribe. If you feel stuck or unhappy, talk to a coach or mentor to find a solution. Key Takeaways: "You literally just ask for it. You just ask for it. You are worth it. You are already doing the work."  "When you show your worth, you will get it, which we already show our worth." "You believe that you are worth it. And that is where it starts. It is always mindset, then skillset, then action." "Price your offering appropriately for who you are for." "I have just found a flow in a totally different direction... When your routine changes and your life changes, your flow kind of naturally has to change." "You just figure it out and you just start doing things you like, and the business comes from seeing those people while you are doing something you like." "If you feel something, say something, too. Let somebody know." "It just feels good to get paid what we feel like we are worth." "Just be yourself. Nobody really actually cares."

  In today’s episode of the Ninja Selling Podcast, Rob is joined by Peter Parnegg to discuss confidence in real estate. They explore why confidence can waver, especially when the market shifts, and explain how it is a skill that can be developed. This episode offers a path for agents looking to move from uncertainty to operating with a sense of competence. The conversation covers the connection between preparation and performance, showing how confidence is earned. Rob and Peter explain how to turn nervous energy into excitement by trusting established systems. They also talk about the psychology of insecurity and provide methods, including affirmations and mental rehearsal, to change one's mindset. The hosts argue that addressing small, situational challenges helps agents build an identity-based confidence. Episode Highlights: Why systems are necessary for maintaining confidence in changing markets. How to navigate the four stages of competence to build skill. How to turn nervous energy into excitement through preparation. Actionable methods to build confidence, like affirmations and practice. How to reframe your perspective on failure and rejection for career growth. How to manage the "catastrophizer" mindset in client interactions. Why deep transactional knowledge increases confidence. The goal of becoming "My Realtor" to 100 people in your sphere. Key Takeaways: "When there's a lot of success and money rolling around, it hides things." "Insecurity is one of the gigantic underminers of all people's personal and business, interpersonal success." "Confidence is earned through preparation. And if you're not confident, you're probably not prepared enough." "Feeling nervous is your mind asking for more certainty." "We have not spent enough time talking about what failure is and what failure isn't." "Confidence feels like, 'I plan to.'" "If you don't have a system, you're going to just be chasing emotions. With a system, you guide them." "What would it look like to be so prepared that I feel excited instead of nervous? And that is confidence." "Confidence, I think, is learning to balance the sense of failure is always possible, but is it terminal?" "I need a hundred people to think of me as 'my realtor.'"
