Tom travels the world coaching some of the top minds and top producing agents in the World. His knowledge and expertise on the subject of business and goal planning is tried and true in any market and in any geographical location.

What’s The Right Number for You?

Now, using the Agent Assist formulas below designed around what Tom explains in his video, we’ve simplified the entire process. In a simple 7 step calculation, this tool will not only help you achieve your business and financial goals, you’ll exceed them!

This works for any agent in any market in any location.

In the above sample, we used an old NAR statistic that says 35 contacts gets 1 appointment, and 4 appointments closes 1 sale. With a $350,000 avg. sales price using 3% as the commission, we are able to determine exactly how many contacts are needed (per day) for this agent to reach their financial goals.

The reality and truth to the entire “success” process is that it takes contacts to get appointments, and appointments to close transactions. Try Tom’s suggestions, use Agent Assist to define and specify exactly what your goals are, and then break it down into bite size and realistic pieces. This is how Real Estate Business gets done!

Here’s a sample you can see and try:  Agent Assist Sample

Since the early 1990′s, Agent Assist has been helping literally thousands of real estate agents and Brokers with reaching their financial goals and dreams in real estate.  Since the creation of Agent Assist, the world and the way we do business has changed.  Everything and everyone is now online.  Now some will argue that we are late to the game, and to some degree, that might be true, but at the end of the day, and what really matters most is that the program still works for any agent, any Broker, in any geographic area, and in any market.

Having said that, we are moving the Agent Assist program and all the tools and services to an online platform and making the application available on mobile devices.  Now that iPads, iPhones, Androids, Blackberry’s and Windows Smart phones have out sold and out number PC’s and Laptop sales, it’s time to reinvent the Agent Assist wheel.  The product, tools, and features will remain the same or be improved, but the access and availability will now be instantaneous.

For those of you using our desktop version, there will be no need to make any changes or updates.  You will also be given the opportunity to be the first ones to test out the Beta Release scheduled for launch sometime in the Winter of 2011.  Just in time to be setting up your 2012 business plan and real estate goals.  Over 20,000 current users of Agent Assist will now be able to access their goals and business plan via the cloud, their mobile device, or just from their desktop.

Having these choices available with every possible option is very exciting for us and we look forward to bringing you more updates and news releases in the days and months ahead.  Thank you for your continued support, this is just one small way we can and will show and share our gratitude and sincere appreciation.

I recently had the good fortune to meet Brad Andersohn. It was truly an amazing learning experience for me. The primary topics at hand were constructing my business plan for 2008 and growing my business into the future.  Brad has written a full suite of software products that directly and intuitively take you down the path of your future business activities and projected results. He breaks the tasks down to monthly, weekly, and daily activities.

Once one or several deals get done, the program updates and recalculates new target levels for contacts, appointments, and closings needed to stay on target with your original plan. Brad’s schedules allow flexibility in terms of client contact whether it be thru emails, notes, visits, or phone calls. He and his company go into great detail in assisting agents with farming and building meaningful databases.  Brad’s grasp of blogging, websites and all the interrelated parts of that segment of marketing is unparalleled.

My description of Brad’s ideas and products do not do justice to the value they have immediately added to my outlook, attitude and renewed enthusiasm to get my plans put into action. Hats off to a real Pro — and yes, this is a direct, hard core recommendation for you to contact him and REALLY grow your biz.

“IMHO Agent Assist is one of the best tools any real estate agent could have to keep them on track. Brad offers a 100% guarantee and the cost of the program is only $29.95. This is not an advertisement for this product and I do not make a dime by telling you this. Agent Assist just happens to be one of the best tools I have seen in thirty years of selling and teaching to help keep an agent on track. It utilizes the exact principles I have implemented with agents who became “rookies of the year.”

It looks great. I watched the Demo. While I already use a spreadsheet concept like this, it’s attractive graphics will save me a lot of time. Very robust workbook, Brad! Well done!

MaryAnne Culpepper – Coldwell Banker

Brads Agent Assist program has helped many of our Agents to focus on goals, track production, and watch expenses in their Real Estate business. As independent contractors, my agents need the tools and services that will help them become successful, Agent Assist has been an integral part of helping them to focus and achieve their goals.

Stan Popovich – Century 21

I love Agent Assist. My favorite tool I use almost daily is the “Buyers Cost Sheet” and the “Estimated Sellers Proceeds.” These have helped me and my clients on numerous occasions, especially on the weekends when the title companies are closed and there is no one to provide this information. What a powerful program and huge asset to me and my business!

Jonathan Nishii – RE/MAX Realtors

Brad, Thanks for the awesome tools! I’m not too good about goal setting, so this looks like it will be a wonderful help!

Deborah Engel, San Diego Homes & Property

Brad, oh my goodness! That is one incredible program you have there! I wasn’t even aware that Excel could be made to look like that. You have knocked my socks off completely. I am very impressed. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Your program and I have a date next week for some needed goal fine-tuning. I’m sure I’ll be in touch with you to give you great feedback on it. Thanks again!

In Real Estate, every market is different based on the economy and the geographic location of each area.  So how can a generic “Business Plan or Goal Setting” program be valid or even accurate knowing these two things to be true?

There are way too many variables to consider from one Real Estate Market to the next, this is why Agent Assist has become the “Preferred” application in the Real estate Industry for setting Real Estate financial goals and tracking the results. The Goal Planner is like no other program in the Industry.

In Setting your Real Estate financial goals, you must take into consideration these many variables in order to have any kind of program return accurate results.  Much like a trip across the country, the first step required is a “Road Map” laying out the directions, the plan, the stops, the safest and best roads traveled to reach your final destination.

Market conditions, property values, target marketing data, database management, cost of living, days worked, hours worked, vacations taken, income needed, these all play a part in determining your Real Estate Financial goals.  With Agent Assist you’ll have peace of mind “financially” because its accuracy in unfailing.  It works in any market with any conditions, and the results are accurate within pennies if you work the plan and “follow the directions” on the map.

Setting your Real Estate financial goals doesn’t have to be a long and difficult task, in fact it’s the first and easiest step in Real Estate.  Achieving your goals and exceeding your financial goals is the challenge and without the right tools and map, you’re only making it harder on yourself.  Agent Assist will be easy, fast, and will point you in the right direction to the shortest route in getting what you want and need in your Real Estate Career.

Is setting financial Real Estate Goals important for your Real Estate Business? We think it is.  There are so many Business Planners and Goal Planners out there, the question remains, which one has the best tools and highest search engine and consumer rating?

Rather than searching and hunting all over the Internet for a Real Estate Financial Goal setting application, we decided to just ask Google and see which program came up first.  You may want to run Google.com to see for yourself.  When it comes to finding stuff on the web, Google is the #1 most searched site on the web.  Since Youtube is #2, you’ll understand why we added this video.

“We started talking about goal setting and I found out that Brad actually designed a program which calculates exactly what I am describing in this post. The program, available online helps agents identify what they need to do to create a specific amount of income. It is identical to what I have done by hand for years. The program is called Agent Assist and has to be one of the most comprehensive and USER FRIENDLY programs I have seen to help an agent stay on track. I will be discussing more about the how to’s of the program in part 3 of this 4 part series in Business Planning and the mechanics are the same but with the computer tracking it makes the entire process much less complicated and easy to track and be accountable.”

Part III of her “Goal Setting” series.

“Brad Andersohn has a program called Agent Assist which calculates exactly how many people you have to see each day answering the questions above.  He has amazing formulas based on the information you provide, as to how much you are willing to work.  His program has a tracking system where you will know what percentage of your business comes from what prospecting activity and can modify your advertising to reflect where your source of business comes from.”

“IMHO Agent Assist is one of the best tools any real estate agent could have to keep them on track. Brad offers a 100% guarantee and the cost of the program is only $29.95.  This is not an advertisement for this product and I do not make a dime by telling you this.  Agent Assist just happens to be one of the best tools I have seen in thirty years of selling and teaching to help keep an agent on track. It utilizes the exact principles I have implemented with agents who became “rookies of the year.”

Once you have created and set your goals to match your “Life Budget” we can show you how to stay on track and keep up with those goals on a daily basis. We call it the “One Bite at a Time” process, which keeps those far fetched and sometimes out of reach goals right in front of your nose. A great example is Jared, from Subway.  He did lose over 140 pounds, but he also did it only one pound at a time.

Real Estate Goal Setting – The 7 Steps to Success

The whole point in setting your goals is so you can accomplish those things you really want in life.  Goal setting is so unbelievably powerful.  Goals must be specific, written down, and have a time frame.   Having good organization is a hard thing to do in the Real Estate business because we are constantly interrupted.  You have to be able to multi-task. We all want to get to where our business is repeat and referral, but it will take good organization, consistency, and patience.

I believe that the great NFL Hall of Fame coach, Vince Lombardi, had it right when he said, “The quality of a persons life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”  Do you agree with the coach or are you the type of person who has difficulty staying focused and keeping commitments?  Do you allow the negative influences of fear, anxiety, self-doubt and worry to dominate your thinking and sabotage your goals and results?

Sadly, most people fail to achieve their goals not because they’re lazy or lack self-motivation, but because they were never “fully committed” to succeed!  Walt Disney would frequently tell those around him, “When you believe in something, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably!

The four reasons people don’t set goals:

1. Fear
2. Poor Self Image
3. Never been sold completely
4. They just don’t know how

The 7 steps in a successful goal formula:

1. Identify the Goal
2. List the benefits you’ll receive
3. List the obstacles you have to overcome
4. List the knowledge, skills and tools you’ll need
5. Identify the people, groups and organizations you must work with
6. Develop an Action-Plan
7. Set a completion date

According to Zig Ziglar, there is danger in setting your goals because you might not reach them and if you don’t reach them, there is that little damage to your ego, to your self-image.  But, there is infinitely more danger in not setting your goals.  Here’s a great little goal setting application to help you set your goals during the fourth quarter of this year, and help you prepare for the upcoming 2010 year.

Agent Assist is the perfect application designed to map out what it will take to achieve your goals in Real Estate. It’s very easy to use, easy to download, but you will need Microsoft Excel to run it.  Now more than ever, we need to redefine our goals, our challenges and our obstacles.  It’s easy to know where we are, but can we determine where we are going, simply by setting our goals? Yes!

With the current changes taking place in the economy and the Real Estate Markets all across the Country, Now is the critical time to start setting your Financial Goals for Real Estate next year.

Using some of the Real Estate Technology that is available along with many of the on-line Social Media, Marketing, and Networking tools available, there’s no reason you can’t hit your financial goals in 2010.

The key is planning and setting realistic and practical goals.

In previous video and tutorial posts, we’ve shared how simple it is to set and achieve your financial goals using Agent Assist.  With the changes in property values affecting many geographical areas of the Country, it’s important to re-visit your goals page and make the necessary adjustments so you can be ready to start off the New Year right.

Just because the economy and Real Estate Markets have changed or adjusted, doesn’t mean your financial gain has to as well.

If you’re currently using Agent Assist for your Goal Setting and Business Planning, please take a couple moments today to make those minor adjustments and setup your Business Plan for the upcoming year.  If you’re not using the program for your Real Estate Business in 2010, we hope you’d consider adding it to your “Things To Do” list before next year gets here.

If you’re not 100% satisfied with Agent Assist, we offer an unconditional “money back” guaranty.  With over 4000 users, we’ve never had a single unsatisfied client yet, a statistic and reputation that we’re very proud of here.

Good luck to you in 2010, we wish you all the best and success in your Real Estate Business and endeavors.

This is a quick video demo of the Goal Planner and Goal Analysis module built into Agent Assist.  This allows you to enter just 5 fields of information to obtain a complete Goals Analysis and tasks required to meet ANY desired income goal in Real Estate.

No matter how many hours a day you want to work, or how many days a week you want to work, the Goal Planner breaks down exactly how many contacts and appointments you’ll need to close the required amount of transactions that will help you to achieve your income goals.

Try it out for yourself.  There is no limit to setting and achieving your goals if you have a plan and a way to track and monitor your tasks.  Agent Assist can help you achieve and exceed your Real Estate Income Goals.

We all have to start some where, Agent Assist will tell you exactly how many contacts and appointments you’ll need to make to achieve your income goals! This is based on NAR statistics and National averages.

3. Tracking your Sales in Agent Assist keeps you on Track to achieving your goals. The goals portion of Agent Assist is just that, your goals. The Sales tracking portion gives you the actual numbers of where you’re at in your goals. It keeps you informed as to how much more or less you’ll need to do to be successful. We all need a tool like that in this business!

4. Tracking your Business Source has never been easier until Agent Assist. You can see where your Business is truly coming from, and at the end of every year, put your marketing dollars back into the areas that are getting you the most results. All you have to do is ask the client, “So, How did you hear about me or get my name?” You can also track your client, agent and lender referrals or customize it to track any other areas you obtain business.

Setting goals and tracking successes can be difficult without the right application and tools. Agent Assist is the number #1 program for doing this and much more. Thanks Google for the Ranking!!

Here’s how it works:

Just enter 5 fields of information and in 30 seconds, you’re done. 1. Enter the average sales price of the homes you will be selling. 2. Enter your commission split by a percentage amount (ie 70%) 3. Enter how many weeks you’ll take for vacation. 4. Enter how many days you’ll work and how many hours per day. 5. Enter your desired income to make in Real Estate.

Goal Planner will automatically calculate exactly how many homes you’ll need to sell to reach your desired income goal. It will also calculate how many contacts you will need to convert to appointments, and how many appointments you’ll need to convert to closings.

The calculation is based on the NAR statistic that says it takes 35 contacts to get 1 appointment, and it takes 4 appointments to close 1 sale.
