Developing Systems for Success • Your systems create the business. • When the systems are in your head ... it prevents delegating and building a duplicable business. • As you create systems, write them down and create a checklist. • Manualize all your systems. • Create the systems/checklists by listing everything you do. Put it in a logical order. • Having systems in place takes the stress out of the business and creates a great experience for buyers and sellers. The Perfect Real Estate Assistant

  44. What Systems Will Create for You • OPERATIVE EXCELLENCE: Systems will improve efficiency, ultimately leading to higher profits. • CUSTOMER SATISFACTION: When a business serves its customers well, the customers respond by returning. • COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: Serving your customers better than anyone else leads to more sales. Well-serviced clients will tell everyone. Poorly serviced clients will tell everyone. • BETTER DECISION-MAKING PROCESS: When you follow a system, it quickly becomes apparent when you are successfully following it, or when you are not. The path is clear. The process allows for effective delegation. The Perfect Real Estate Assistant
