Are you born to be a team leader? Do you have what it takes to build a team of agents and make it prosper? It takes more than just being a great agent to lead a team, and one man who knows that all too well is Suneet Agarwal, so I’ve invited him on the show to tell me his secrets! Suneet is a team leader with Home Smart Realty in Sacramento, California, and he’s a Club Wealth coach and Lab Coat Agent as well.
Suneet and I start off by discussing what it means to run a team, and what helps retain agents. He tells me how running a team is like running a business, and the culture-building tactics he uses to make his agents feel supported and valued. He also explains why you should never brand your team with your own name!
Then we talk details: where does Suneet get his leads from, and how much does he supply to his agents? How dependent are they on him for their leads? And how does he provide them with incentive to go out and find their own leads?
Finally, Suneet tells me how he chooses his agents, and gives me an introduction to how he onboards them. We discuss probation periods, new agent expectations, and his number one trait that will determine whether he keeps an agent on the team, or lets them go.
