How much does the apartment industry contribute to US economy?

Top World Economies by GDP for 2022

What is GDP? Why is GDP important?

Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the total economic output of a country. It is the sum of all the goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given period of time, usually a year. GDP is often used as an indicator of the health of a country's economy, as well as a way to compare the size and strength of different economies.

Why is GDP important?

Gross domestic product, or GDP, is a measure of a country's economic output. It is considered an important indicator of the economic health of a country, as it represents the total value of goods and services produced by a country in a given year. GDP is important because it can be used to compare the economic performance of different countries, and to assess the overall growth and development of a country's economy. Additionally, GDP is often used as a measure of a country's standard of living, as it provides a rough indication of the amount of goods and services that are available to the average person in a given country.

Buying Apartments - As a commercial realtor, you help investors buy apartments for the purpose of generating income through rental payments. This can be a lucrative business, as investors are often willing to pay a premium for properties that are well-located and in good condition. To be successful in this field, you will need to have a strong understanding of the local real estate market and be able to identify properties that are likely to be a good investment for your clients. Additionally, you will need to be able to negotiate effectively on behalf of your clients to get the best possible price and terms for the properties you sell.

Commercial Real Estate Pulse : Scannell Properties -https://www.scannellproperties.com/

Industrial sector keeps on trending up in the DFW area…

Tony…so why do you think industrial has been trending upward lately?

as we mentioned DFW leads the nation with over 80+ million square feet in our industrial building construction pipeline

Scannell Properties has made more industrial news.

Indianapolis-based developer Scannell Properties has sold a newly delivered 698,880 square feet distribution center

on 37 acres of land to Los Angeles-based Cohen Asset Management.

Crate & Barrel is set to occupy the building, according to sources.

Just 15 miles outside of Dallas, Sunridge II, located at 1700 North Goode Road in Wilmer, was completed weeks ago

with Alabama-based Cooper Construction Company serving as the general contractor.

What’s notable is this happens to be Scannell’s second industrial building that has been developed and sold in Sunridge Business Park within the last five years.

As a result of the pressures of increased work-from-home policies and the amount of sublease space available remains stubbornly high,

Unfortunately, the metroplex experienced a setback in the second quarter with 56,000 SF of negative net absorption.

A few of the contributors to this negative net absorption were move-outs in the Galatyn Commons One (-215,400), The Terraces at Solana Building 2 (-124,700), and Legacy Central 1 (-103,700).

Charles Schwab moved into its 580,000-SF Westlake Campus. Additionally,

Paycom moved into its 150,000-SF facility.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase moved into its 540,000-SF space in Legacy West.

The amount of sublet space available has put additional stress on the market.

The available sublet space has increased by more than 4 million SF since early 2020, reaching 10.9 million SF.

Most recently, Peloton announced it is downsizing its headcount in its Plano office. As a result, the company is putting 104,000 SF of office space on the sublease market.

One of the larger spaces to be put on the sublease market is Thryv, located in the former Braniff Headquarters at D-FW Airport, which put its entire 340,000-SF campus on the market when the company announced an indefinite "remote first" policy.

New York-based financial firm Goldman Sachs announced a truly transformative project. The $480 million, 950,000 SF regional campus will be adjacent to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science

When completed, it will house nearly 5,000 employees a redefine the Dallas skyline. The campus will anchor an 11-acre mixed-use development being built by Dallas-based Hunt Realty Investments

Do the Dallas Cowboys have the defense to win it all?

Today we will do a quick rundown on the Dallas cowboys….

Last week lost to Greenbay 31-28 in hard fought game…defense allowed 14 points in final quarter to force overtime and won with field goal in overtime

This week we facet the vikings…they are 8-1…. Our defense ranks 10th in the league but seems to fold under pressure ..time will tell…

Dallas slows the game down with runs….keeps their defense on the sideline more…have a chance…past that we could get worked over by their high powered offense ….with justin jefferson and dalvin cook our defense needs to be ready to go today….

Why do you think our defense is having issues?

When you are watching today think about these 3 things…

  1. Tackling - is the first person to the ball carrier tackling them?
  2. Scheme aka coaching / play calling - do our players look like they are in the right position on defense?
  3. Over all talent level - if you run faster you run faster - Does the other team more athletic then us?

Top offense in NFL this week: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-s-top-nine-offenses-in-2022-all-four-afc-west-teams-make-the-cut-but-bills-c

What does staying persistent mean in sales? 

What is persistence?

When you google persistence it says….

firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.

"companies must have patience and persistence, but the rewards are there"

Lots of sales stats that point to having to reach out many times to get results…

60% of customers say no four times before saying yes. (Invesp)

57% of C-level buyers prefer to be contacted via phone. (Crunchbase)

On average, it takes eight cold calls to reach a prospect. (Crunchbase)

What is persistence in smart persistence sales?

What kind of activity do you track?

Can it be taught?

Today, we are going to discuss the importance of taking action. 

“Dreams don't work unless you take action. The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.”

― Roy T. Bennett

What are some do’s and don’ts when taking action?

Procrastination is a common downfall for many people - what advice do you have to give for this?

How do you persuade customers to take action? Can you give an example.

Most people in the world are familiar with the Nike slogan - “Just do it.” This is a simple but impactful statement. We have learned today that nothing happens without actionable steps.

Tony Kurtulan | Cherie Voise - Smart Persistence Sales™ Coaching

How much Planning should you do before you start your cold calling outreach?

Just 33% of inside sales-rep time is spent actively selling. (CSO Insights).

  1. Question 1 : What steps should you take when preparing to make a cold call?
    1. Research the Company
    2. Research the Person
    3. Study Competitors - talk wisely about competitors…statements like …I noticed that some of your competitors are using sales coaching to improve sales…We have a 104% growth rate with our sales coaching program…
    4. Ask the right questions…nothing generic…show you expertise
    5. Goals for the Call
    6. Don’t over prepare

Build a template for the preparations, when it's filled out you are ready to start dialing…

  1. Q2: How much planning is too much planning?
    1. Should take about 90 -120 seconds pre planning for each call…I would always do my preplanning, but notes in the CRM during non calling hours…weekends….5am-8am and 6pm-10pm each day….
  2. Q3: Does planning make a difference in the results?
    1. Yes and no….you can plan too much and plan too little…its a fine line that takes some time to get right…

You need to make sure and do enough planning before each call but not too much planning before you start taking action!

TonyK and CherieV reminding everybody to stay persistent.

Problem question / Purpose of the show …what you will learn?

In today’s show we are going to go over the SPS…

Top sellers spend an average of 6 hours every week researching their prospects. (Crunchbase)

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”: A quote by Abraham Lincoln Why is planning important, and what advice can you give to plan successfully?

Need to understand buying triggers of prospect…industry, budget, direction of company, competitors etc….so you can have a value for the appointment you are trying to set….

Einstein says: Nothing happens until something moves. Tony what do you have to add to this?

Well I was always described in one word as , Energy….I have a high motor…wake up early and getting going immediately…at the gym by 4 or 5 office by 7 and off we go….take action to start the day…break, plan, adjust…take action again….and round and round you go…SPS embodies how I have lived and worked for the last 30 plus years….some parts better than others…by the taking action part has never been the issue…with age the planning part has become better….

Do you think persistence is something anyone can do, or do you think some people are just born with it?

Both, help is you have a high motor….lots of energy…it take energy to try over and over and over again….300 calls in a day with 97% of them No’s….got to have the mind set to keep pushing…

Tony Kurtulan | Cherie Voise - Smart Persistence Sales™ Coaching

What do you get when no one can hear you, no appointments!

Today we are going to do some sales coaching with some tips on recording your call, audio clarity and call energy

Tony, is it important to record your calls when cold calling?

It is always important to record your calls, Why you ask?

Even after 20 plus years of cold calling, nothing every call goes 100% smoothly. In reviewing my calls for the last week , it came to our attention

  • That my voice was not coming across clearly - bad sound quality
  • My energy level was low on the calls

And these 2 things resulted in poor performance for my last 2 days of call this week.

Cherie speaks to mindset all the time.

Cherie, what are some tips for keeping your energy up when making hundreds of calls everyday?

  • Stand up and move around when making the calls

  • Have some active music, playing softly in the background to keep the energy up

  • Visualize the conversation going positively - even when someone shuts you down - you can say things like: “that’s great!” or “thank you” or even make a light joke of it…

  • Fun fact fact - saying thank keeps you in good spirits - giving you the feeling of gratitude and releasing a combination of oxytocin, endorphins and dopamine.

Thank you Cherie….remember only 3% of the market is in the “buying Mode” (Chet Homes, Ultimate Sales Machine : https://chetholmes.com/attracting-new-buyers/) so be ready to expect 97% rejection,

  • Keep that energy high when making your calls

  • Use good equipment to have clear sound quality

  • Record your calls and listen for the needed adjustments…energy, sound quality, script adjustments…etc

How you sound on the phone makes a difference, is this right Tony?

Yes, 93% of potential success of your cold call comes down to the tone of your voice….https://blog.close.com/cold-call-voice/

  • Use the right volume level to sound confident and clear

  • Use pacing and cadence to sound intelligent and create sense of attractive urgent

  • Use Body language to build confidence even on the phone

Cherie, great tips Tony…..that’s all for today…talk with you guys soon

TonyK and CherieV reminding everyone to take action, stay persistent and SET ONE!
