Title: The Best Practices to Pivot, Thrive and Bring Value During Covid 19 & Beyond w/Monica Reynolds

2020 was a year unlike any other. But even with the challenges brought by the pandemic, the luxury real estate market has remained resilient and is strong in many markets.   So what are the best practices that have helped top agents and industry leaders pivot and thrive during this period? What do top coaches recommend in order to bring value to clients?    In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Monica Reynolds, VP of MAPS Coaching at Keller Williams. Having coached more real estate professionals than anyone else in the country, Monica is an industry trailblazer. She played an active role in helping Keller Williams pivot and grow their business during the pandemic.   There’s a lot to unpack in this episode. So, grab a pen and notepad (and maybe a cup of coffee), and let’s dive into Monica’s many valuable pointers and inspiring stories for finding success during these uncertain times.   This podcast was originally recorded on Michael LaFido’s Luxury Lunch & Learn series. "There’s so much opportunity with luxury right now... Instead of being scared, be aware of what’s happening and look towards the future." -Monica Reynolds   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode:   The importance of going digital: One of the most mentioned technologies seeing widespread use is also one of the simplest: the Zoom call. It’s ideal for busy luxury clients who are looking for a fast, easy, and effective way to communicate- but don’t forget to look your best and have a professional background when using the platform.   The best strategies for agents who want to break into the luxury market: Agents need to understand that entering luxury is a process, not something that happens right away. There’s no easy button, so it’s best to network, put yourself out there, and work with a team that knows the luxury market inside and out.    It’s essential to keep searching for opportunities to bring value to clients: Agents can bring value to clients just by knowing what’s going on in the market, their community, and what the future might look like. Be "the expert" of information to your clients.   Guest Bio- Monica Reynolds has been in real estate for 40 years.
