Hiring Ineffective Salespeople Costs Real Estate Industry Millions
If ever there was an industry that lives or dies by the performance of it’s salespeople, it is real estate. But real estate sales, like insurance sales, suffers from a cripplingly high failure rate when hiring new salespeople, and the reason is that these industries employ highly ineffective processes for identifying and hiring fresh sales talent. In most real estate companies the 80/20 rule (or something akin to it) applies. For example in one major national agency 15% of agents deliver 78% of revenues. What this means is that hiring effective agents is a purely random event - No more effective than tossing a coin.
Small Business Tips to Hire Great Employees – Listen To Your Gut
Have you ever had a hunch? How about gut feel? All of these are euphemisms for intuition. Intuition is one of the most underrated business tools that exists for managers, with all successful leaders using it automatically in their day to day decision making. For 20 years I taught logical and rational decision making processes around people management to executives, but found that something was missing. Even the most rational and logical processes could go totally wrong unless intuition was allowed air time.

Medium is Beautiful
Who are your best customers? It’s a question I often ask my clients. And the answers I most often get are either “the big ones” or “the small ones”. But is this really so? My experience has show that in fact, it's often the "medium sized" customers who are the most valuable.

NEW HIRES: HOW TO FIND THEM, HOW TO KEEP THEM
How do you reduce turnover? One way is to eliminate much of the subjectivity of the selection process. Once an employer has attracted a pool of qualified candidates for a job opening, choosing the one candidate that best fits the job is often the result of subjective processes. Companies typically spend hours objectively analyzing the benefits of purchasing a new piece of equipment, but they often spend far less time interviewing candidates, the results of which are often based on subjective feelings as to which candidates seem to be the best.

The System is the Art of Your Business
A system is made up of defined processes that are designed to meet an overall objective. The creation of systems and their processes is art.
The Perfect Fit
Have you looked at your selection processes recently? What is your staff turnover like? “Let's assume the average salary of employees in a given company is $50,000 per year. Taking the cost of turnover at 150% of salary, the cost of turnover is then $75,000 per employee who leaves the company. For the mid-sized company of 1,000 employees who has a 10% annual rate of turnover, the annual cost of turnover is $7.5 million!” * So how do you go about ensuring you select the right staff, who will fit well with your organisation, and who will stay with you?

Role of Leadership in Planning
Executives love to talk about planning… most complain their processes don’t work very well. Harvard Business Review reports that only 11% of CEOs believe that strategic planning is worth the effort. Most planning processes are too complex, and only document decisions already made. CEOs have the responsibility to make their planning processes effective; I believe the key is to keep the processes simple and focused.

Master Your Game: Leveraging "Who" and "How"
As a leader, you will turbo charge your organization when you shift from a narrow focus on processes and results (what you are doing and the results you need to achieve) to transforming the players in your team (who you need to execute these processes). Leaders with great communication skills have the power to shift people's self-perception and improve their potential. When you understand who your people are and are able to assist them to be brilliant in how they undertake the business processes, success will follow.

Loan and Lease Software Evaluation
With the abundance of loan and lease software choices in the market it can be somewhat difficult and daunting to know what to look for and how to narrow down the selection list. There are three important factors to consider during your evaluation. It may suprise you to learn that price should be at the bottom of the selection criteria list. Unfortunately it is often the key driving force in the selection process with potential for yielding unsatisfactory results down the road.

Selecting for Soft Skills: A Case Example Using Role Play with Live Actors
Interpersonal and communication styles often play as important a role as technical and professional skills and qualifications; selecting for this softer skill set can make or break the organization. A role-play exercise in the selection process provides a more realistic assessment of the behaviors and competencies such as interpersonal, judgment, verbal fluency and dependability requirements, than is possible through more traditional selection tools.
Estimating the Cost of a Bad Hire
Though most organizations experience a “bad hire” and are aware of the high price they pay for employee turnover, they often lack the ability to combat the loss. Using competencies for selection reduces the risk of a bad hire by increasing the validity of the recruitment process through well-researched, job-related behaviours, consistent standards, standardized selection criteria and selection tools for incremental validity.
