Productive and enthused associates make successful associates. Top brokerages tend to be more “agent-centric”, with the focus not on the broker as a brand, but on the agent or loan originator, allowing associates the power to create their own “identity” using available (customizable) tools and the newest technologies, whilst still remaining company compliant.

There is no getting away from it, it’s imperative to have a strong social media presence, with the 2 top social media platforms being Facebook and Instagram, however, only 47% of agents feel confident with their social media skills and 80% want to grow their social media channels. It’s not a case of one size fits all, different channels need entirely distinct approaches, what you post on Instagram, you probably wouldn't post on TikTok, let's say. It can become quite a minefield knowing what to post, when and what content for which platform and not all associates are creatively inclined.
Top brokerages offer mentorship which can include some form of social media training. More often, the mentoring will be focused more on the business side with associates “shadowing” listings and buyer presentations. Role playing is applied and associates can learn valuable information about transaction flow and negotiating. Mentors will walk them through different processes from transactions to contracts. An experienced mentor is one that not only coaches associates into becoming successful, but one that connects with you and is a source of inspiration.
