Published: Aug. 27, 2019, noon

b'Have you ever had a friend or neighbor tell you \\u201cHey, sorry, we know you\\u2019re in real estate, but we\\u2019re going to go with this other agent\\u201d?\\n\\nIt can feel like a punch to the gut! In fact, I\\u2019ve seen many real estate agents complaining about this on social media.\\n\\nThis is part of being a real estate agent, and we\\u2019ve got to get used to it. But did you know that you can turn this into an opportunity to learn and grow as an agent?\\n\\nListen to this week\\u2019s Tip Tuesday to see how I flip adversity into opportunity!\\n\\nThanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn\\u2019t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback! Make sure that you give us a rating and review on iTunes: that would mean the world to me, and will help us get even more amazing guests on our Friday episodes of the show.\\n\\nHighlights of this episode:\\n\\n\\n\\nWe all have had that experience where someone has chosen a different real estate agent instead of us.\\n\\n\\nWhen this happens, make sure to wish them the best! \\n\\n\\nAsk for feedback: \\u201ccan you tell me why you chose a different agent?\\u201d\\n\\n\\nTo avoid putting them on the spot, tell them that they are helping you become a better agent, and serve your clients and leads at a higher level.\\n\\n\\n\\u201cThe more that I learn about why people choose what they do, the better I can serve.\\u201d\\n\\n\\nAsking for feedback like this is hard, but it will help you be better!\\n\\n\\nYou may get feedback that something you are doing is turning away potential customers.\\n\\n\\nThis can help you avoid complacency and keep up with technology.\\n\\n\\nRemember: some of the wealthiest people in the world were created during the most challenging times.\\n\\n\\n\\nHey everybody, thank you so much for spending time with us today: would you do me a giant favor and share this podcast with fellow realtors, and leave a review.
