In episode 172 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, Darren Krakowiak is interviewed by Raphael Collazo of the Commercial Real Estate Meetup to discuss success strategies this year.

For newer agents, building a pipeline is key; established deal-doers are advised to create more leverage by knowing their zone of genius, relinquishing control, and investing in people to create scalability.

One of the concepts shared, that all client-facing and revenue-generating professionals can use, is "BAMFAM"; this acronym stands for 'book a meeting from a meeting'. It will help you to maintain momentum during the sales process.

As real estate markets are set for recovery in 2024, join Darren and Raphael for a discussion about more ways for you and your team to win!

In episode 160 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership, let's explore 'Find, Mind, and Grind'—a game-changing concept for team dynamics in commercial real estate businesses.

'Finders' are the rainmakers, bringing in new clients and sealing deals; 'Minders' nurture client relationships and ensure satisfaction; and, 'Grinders' handle the technical work, from paperwork to managing third-parties and databases.

But here's the twist: 'grinders' can supercharge 'finders,' saving time and money. To build a balanced, growing and profitable business, leaders need to ensure that 'finders' don't do it all - because everyone's role is vital.

And whilst everyone wants more ‘finders,’ you can boost revenue by hiring ‘grinders’ and nurturing their potential to become ‘minders’ or ‘finders’ - or by virtue of them freeing up time and creating capacity for 'finders' to win even more business.

Unleash the power behind 'Find, Mind and, Grind' by tuning in to Commercial Real Estate Leadership with Darren Krakowiak.

In episode 151 of CRE Success: The Podcast, Darren Krakowiak shares three key takeaways from a business and leadership conference he just attended in Hawaii.

The first insight builds upon recent episodes about AI, in particular how it's up to you to provide clear instructions about your business and your audience so that ChatGPT has what it needs to produce the most relevant outputs.

The second point Darren emphasizes is the importance of self-leadership if you want to lead and inspire others. Prioritizing personal growth helps you avoid burnout, and committing to daily practices can lead to greater productivity.

The third and final share from Darren's time in Hawaii is about content creation and personal branding. He encourages you to experiment with various content types in the early stages of your career, and then go deeper on an area of expertise as you grow and develop your unique voice in the marketplace.

In episode 141 of CRE Success: The Podcast, Darren Krakowiak delves into the crucial topic of doing the tasks that matter to the best of your ability, and getting support to reach your true potential, so that you can achieve optimal business performance.

To help you assess if this is an issue for you, we explore the resistance some individuals have towards getting help, in spite of their stagnant performance, and the possible reasons behind their hesitancy, from avoiding effort to lacking awareness.

Discover the four categories of commercial real estate agency performance: growing, stable, stalling, and sinking, and learn how each stage influences one's ability to embrace continuous improvement. From quick wins to mindset shifts, find out how to transition from stalling to stable and from stable to growing - rather than waiting for that sinking feeling before deciding to correct course.

This episode, from Joe Killinger's Real Estate Jam Session with Darren Krakowiak, is all about the importance of preparation.

Joe and Darren share how you can prepare to win more work in commercial real estate in 2023 - even if you're not the most experienced, you're not the market leader and you don't have well-established relationships.

This topic is relevant not only to newbies, but also to anyone who wants to push themselves into a new market or sector where they do not have an existing track record to draw from - and, using these strategies, you won't have to drop your fees in order to win more market share.

It's easy to get distracted by the doom-and-gloom talk in the media about an economic downturn, and for this sentiment to impact your growth plans.

However, when this happens, you may be acting on inaccurate or irrelevant information, and you could be missing out on one of the best opportunities you have to grow your commercial real estate business.

In episode 107 of CRE Success: The Podcast, Darren Krakowiak presents the case for expanding when others are looking to contract during an economic downturn (or when there's talk of one).

This is the story of how Darren Krakowiak stopped drinking 1,000 days ago.

To mark the occasion, we're releasing a special episode that has nothing to do with commercial real estate; it's all about why he quit alcohol and how he's stayed the course.

The show covers the topic of addiction (and the challenges of dealing with it), some of the events that led up to the decision to quit drinking, and a few of the benefits as a result of that decision.

This is not about preaching the dangers of alcohol or any other substance; rather, we're sharing this story to help you find the one thing that you can change in your life so everything else in it becomes much easier - which may or may not be related to an addiction.
