I’ve just returned from my NS training and again, I’ve been able to get commendation about my work as an RQ there.

This time by a civilian team and their leader.

When I think back about what I’ve been doing right, I realised that all I do in the ICT is calling people on the phone and speaking with key people.

I simply make sure the key people that can help us do our job easily knows I am here to be responsible and humble.

I deliberately keep the way I speak to the external team as professional and empathetic as possible.

Basically, I show that I am responsible and respectful.

The activities I do during ICT are:

  1. Getting tasks needed to be done listed out
  2. Being organised and planning ahead
  3. Delegating work to my CQs
  4. Interfacing with external parties so my team gets everything they need
  5. Solving problems by working together with other leaders in the battalion

I realised that what I really do in ICT is building relationships and planning.

This is very relevant to a career in real estate.

In real estate sales, my clients must know I am responsible and feel I respect their opinion.

All I really do is to speak with clients and recommend units that fit them best.

I help solve any problems they have that may come up and help them achieve their outcomes.

I just need to list out the tasks, be organised and plan ahead.

I will be as successful in real estate sales as I am in ICT.

 

“I’ll be placing an ad over the weekend. If you don’t mind, may I include yours to help you push your listing?”

 
  1. Most prospective buyers view houses in the weekday evenings from 7 to 9pm and in the weekends afternoon from 2 to 5pm. Will you have any concerns with these time slots?
  2. In order for us to effectively sell your house at a premium price using all the proven marketing methods, we need to list your property with us for a period of 90 days.
  3. Upon successful transaction, the brokerage fee due to the company would be x% of the selling price
    • pause and be silent
    • if no objection, commission is fine

 

 
  1. You will like it if you are good at it
  2. Sales is a function of Skill, Knowledge, Strategy, Activity, Service and Time Management
  3. You have to do what needs to be done, not what you like to do
  4. Breakthrough in sales are only possible if you keep innovating and improving every 3 months

I wake up from a soft bed with silk sheets to Shirley

I wake up thinking about the exciting and fun events that fill my day.

A quick exercise and tennis coaching session.

Meeting up with business associates and closing big deals with clients at my office.

I take lessons for singing from a pro.

I have a personal assistant. I run an e-publishing biz on the side. I invested in several properties in Singapore.

I run a coaching business teaching others to find their flow in their career.

I drive around in my Audi R8. With my 7 series parked at the porch of my landed bungalow.

I play with my children and read them some stories before they go to bed.

I want people to know that I really want to just help people make money. That after all that is said and done, it is not the client’s money I am after, but to deliver his peace of mind.

To know that deep down in our core, we have done everything to ensure he has all the information and assistance he needs to make a decision.
