Ep. 198: Dont be a Jerk
b'Have you ever worked with someone who wasn\\u2019t the best at their job?\\nMaybe it\\u2019s the other agent you\\u2019re working with, or the seller of the house you\\u2019re showing to buyers. \\n\\nIt\\u2019s tempting to throw them under the bus when things aren\\u2019t going as planned \\u2026 but don\\u2019t! \\n\\nInstead of throwing people under the bus, be proactive and be kind! \\n\\nSpeaking negatively about anyone else never works out for you, even if they are frustrating you! \\n\\nIf you\\u2019re not saying encouraging words about the others that you are working with, it\\u2019s not going to bode well for your business. \\nMake a point to always speak positively about others involved in the transaction, even if they are making it tough! You\\u2019re going to find that it pays off in the end! \\n\\nThis week on the Tip Tuesday episode of the Selling the Dream podcast, I\\u2019m here to challenge you to not be a jerk! \\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\\nAs we\\u2019re working with clients, there will be some people who make it tough!\\n\\n\\nMaybe the seller isn\\u2019t budging on the price, or someone isn\\u2019t communicating with you!\\n\\n\\nDon\\u2019t throw them under the bus! Always speak positively about all of the parties you\\u2019re working with, even when they are frustrating you!\\n\\n\\nIt\\u2019s easy to throw others under the bus, but you never know what they have going on! They may just be trying to represent their client\\u2019s best interests! \\n\\n\\nIt will not make you look good to say bad things about others!\\n\\n\\nThis is a small world: we all know each other!\\n\\n\\nWhen you negotiate, do it professionally and don\\u2019t take it personally.\\n\\n\\nJoin our 2nd Home Agents Facebook group and create connections!
