			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As a full-time business coach, I&#8217;ve been able draw on the experience of many successful people. Every single one of them makes life promises to improve their productivity and happiness.</span></strong></p>
<p>What kind of promises?</p>
<p><strong>Here are 12 of the most common promises that will lead to greater productivity and a happier life!</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>1 &#8211; Live in your 20% -</strong></span> Life is too short. Focus on the 20% of activities that produce 80% of the best results and delegate the rest. <img class="alignright" style="margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px;" title="life promises" src="http://rlv.zcache.com/i_love_promises_keychain-p146668462683537792z8x8w_400.jpg" alt="reic coaching" width="400" height="400" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>2 &#8211; &#8220;Slow Down&#8221; -</strong></span> Think first then act!  Just remember to act. Some people stop at the &#8220;thinking&#8221; part.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>3 &#8211; Have a BIG vision -</strong></span> Accept no limitations with your dreams. Whether you think you can or you can&#8217;t &#8211; you will be right.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>4 &#8211; While living your dreams, be a &#8220;dream giver&#8221; -</strong></span> Encourage and develop those around you. Understand their dreams and they will help you to achieve yours.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>5 &#8211; Understand and use leverage -</strong></span> You can only accomplish so much yourself. Hang with high-minded, creative, motivated and sharing people.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>6 &#8211; Have a COACH -</strong></span> If you believe that you can be accountable only to yourself, then be prepared to be satisfied with your limitations. Control your ego and seek out someone who will challenge and inspire you to greater achievement.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>7 &#8211; Be &#8220;LEARNING BASED&#8221; -</strong></span> True talent is always in &#8220;the front row&#8221; striving to improve through external processes and other people&#8217;s positive energy.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>8 &#8211; Have a sense of REALISTIC OPTIMISM -</strong></span> Be truly committed to have a plan for every day with your eyes wide open to reality and your goals.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>9 &#8211; Business funds life -</strong></span> Have a wealth building plan to achieve personal and professional happiness.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>10 &#8211; Take calculated risks -</strong></span> <em>&#8220;Luck is where preparation meets opportunity&#8221;.</em> Be careful and bold at the same time.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>11 &#8211; Have a personal set of values that cannot be compromised -</strong></span> This will give you confidence and strength. Be consistent in your decision making and do it with integrity.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>12 &#8211; Have fun, be fun and act with a grateful heart -</strong></span> Appreciate friends and family. Look for a chance to help someone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #000080;">If you&#8217;re like most REALTORS®, you&#8217;re on a constant mission to close more sales.</span></h2>
<p>If you want to be like the top 1% of agents in our coaching programs, then you will love discovering these 5 ways to close more sales!</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000080;">5 Ways to Close More Real Estate Sales</span></h2>
<p><strong>1 -</strong> <strong>Get more leads:</strong> Keep your opportunity pipe filled with motivated clients and you will do more business and find it easier to say &#8220;NO,&#8221; or refer consumers and still collect a fee. <em>Remember: More leads = More sales.</em></p>
<p><strong>2 &#8211; Tighten up your sales process: </strong>You need to create regular and meaningful conversations with your qualified <img class="alignright" style="margin: 2px 4px;" src="http://www.clientconnexion.com/images/misc/bulls-eye_bucks.jpg" alt="reic" width="347" height="346" />prospects. You are only as strong as your &#8220;weakest link&#8221; so make a great 1st impression and set yourself apart.</p>
<p><strong>3 &#8211; Improve your sales conversion:</strong>  Examine a recent client opportunity or transaction that you lost and ask yourself what did you learn and what must you do to improve. Take the time to tweak, refresh, learn and improve your process and your core message of why people should hire you.</p>
<p><strong>4 &#8211; Increase your transaction value: </strong> If you are perceived to be like &#8220;every other agent&#8221;, do you really want to cut your commission to set yourself apart? <em>Become the &#8220;ROLEX&#8221; of agents.</em></p>
<p><strong>5 &#8211; Follow-up:</strong> Follow-up up quickly, professionally and consistently with your leads and your raving fans to raise your profile, your value proposition, and your reliability.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
