GUIDE TO BUSINESS PLANNING
Studies have shown that those engaged in business planning consistently outperform those
with no business planning. While planning does not ensure success in accomplishing goals,
it is rare to succeed solely by luck or circumstance.
This planning guide is designed to take an “experienced real estate sales professional”
through the business planning process. The course will help you define where you are
today and how in the coming months you can reach your chosen goals.

Steps In The Planning ProcessSteps In The Planning Process
STEP I: SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS - “WHERE YOU ARE TODAY”
Business planning provides you with guidelines for making sound business decisions. The
first step in developing your plan begins with a written analysis of you and your
marketplace… “where you currently are” in terms of your business goals.
STEP II: OBJECTIVES - “WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE”
Objectives represent the desired outcome you hope to attain within a given period of time.
They answer the question, "What do I hope to achieve?"
The objectives of a business plan provide direction and serve as standards for evaluating
performance. Well-written objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and
time-oriented (SMART).
 (S)pecific
 (M)easurable
 (A)ttainable
 (R)ealistic
 (T)ime-oriented
STEP III: STRATEGIES - “HOW YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH YOUR
OBJECTIVES”
Strategies outline “how to accomplish your objectives.” They are broad activities that are
within your control.
Strategies are not to be confused with goals. To differentiate between a strategy and goal,
ask yourself…can I control this activity? If the answer is yes, then it is a strategy.
STEP IV: TACTICS - “HOW TO MAKE YOUR STRATEGIES HAPPEN”
Tactics are specific action steps for making each strategy happen. They include “who is
responsible for what and when” and the expense involved.
STEP V: PLAN MEASUREMENT - “EVALUATION OF YOUR PLAN RESULTS”
Essential to the business planning process is the measurement of your plan’s success. A
business plan should be revisited at least every 90 days. If your objectives and strategies
are not working - change them!

Step III: Develop StrategiesStep III: Develop Strategies
““How Will I Accomplish My Objectives”How Will I Accomplish My Objectives”
Strategies are broad activities that are within your control. Generally, it will take more than
one strategy to accomplish an objective. By the same token, however, each strategy, if
carefully planned and implemented, can accomplish a number of tasks at the same time.
For example, farming a higher price range area could increase your average commission
dollar as well as help to meet your listing objective. Get additional mileage for your efforts
by implementing strategies that serve multiple purposes.

 Visit/Call FSBO's
 Call expired listings

 Contact former customers
 Better buyer qualification
 Use 7 second presentation more often

Plan For Your Success 13 6.1.07
Step IV: Develop TacticsStep IV: Develop Tactics
““How Will I Make My Strategies Happen”How Will I Make My Strategies Happen”
Tactics are the specific steps for making each strategy happen. Unless the strategies are
broken into very specific steps (tactics), the objectives will not be met.
Use a planning worksheet to organize your strategies and tactics in such a way that
everything is at your fingertips. That way you will know immediately who will be responsible
for what and when for each action step and the expense involved.

  • 3. IntroductionIntroduction GUIDE TO BUSINESS PLANNING Studies have shown that those engaged in business planning consistently outperform those with no business planning. While planning does not ensure success in accomplishing goals, it is rare to succeed solely by luck or circumstance. This planning guide is designed to take an “experienced real estate sales professional” through the business planning process. The course will help you define where you are today and how in the coming months you can reach your chosen goals.

  • 4. Steps In The Planning ProcessSteps In The Planning Process STEP I: SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS - “WHERE YOU ARE TODAY” Business planning provides you with guidelines for making sound business decisions. The first step in developing your plan begins with a written analysis of you and your marketplace… “where you currently are” in terms of your business goals. STEP II: OBJECTIVES - “WHAT YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE” Objectives represent the desired outcome you hope to attain within a given period of time. They answer the question, "What do I hope to achieve?" The objectives of a business plan provide direction and serve as standards for evaluating performance. Well-written objectives are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-oriented (SMART).  (S)pecific  (M)easurable  (A)ttainable  (R)ealistic  (T)ime-oriented STEP III: STRATEGIES - “HOW YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH YOUR OBJECTIVES” Strategies outline “how to accomplish your objectives.” They are broad activities that are within your control. Strategies are not to be confused with goals. To differentiate between a strategy and goal, ask yourself…can I control this activity? If the answer is yes, then it is a strategy. STEP IV: TACTICS - “HOW TO MAKE YOUR STRATEGIES HAPPEN” Tactics are specific action steps for making each strategy happen. They include “who is responsible for what and when” and the expense involved. STEP V: PLAN MEASUREMENT - “EVALUATION OF YOUR PLAN RESULTS” Essential to the business planning process is the measurement of your plan’s success. A business plan should be revisited at least every 90 days. If your objectives and strategies are not working - change them! Plan For Your Success 4 6.1.07

  • 13. Step III: Develop StrategiesStep III: Develop Strategies ““How Will I Accomplish My Objectives”How Will I Accomplish My Objectives” Strategies are broad activities that are within your control. Generally, it will take more than one strategy to accomplish an objective. By the same token, however, each strategy, if carefully planned and implemented, can accomplish a number of tasks at the same time. For example, farming a higher price range area could increase your average commission dollar as well as help to meet your listing objective. Get additional mileage for your efforts by implementing strategies that serve multiple purposes. THOUGHT STARTERS FOR LISTING STRATEGIES:  Visit/Call FSBO's  Call expired listings  Use Tell 2O on all listings  Use 7 second presentation more often  Obtain appropriate price reductions  Establish a client follow up program  Development of farm areas  Use Seller Service System FOR SALES STRATEGIES:  Hold open houses  Contact former customers  Better buyer qualification  Use 7 second presentation more often  Better use of the Best Buyer System  Development of farm areas  Increase personal promotion  Use the Best Buyer Follow up program FOR COMMISSION/PROFIT STRATEGIES:  Increase the number of listings  Better customer follow-up  Work in higher price range  Hire an assistant  Contact previous customers  Take salable listings  Obtain appropriate price reductions  Decrease/increase business expenses SAMPLE OBJECTIVE WITH STRATEGY: Objective: Increase my buyer controlled sales from 18 to 22 in 2007. Strategy: Hold at least 2 Open Houses per month. Plan For Your Success 13 6.1.07
  • 14. Step IV: Develop TacticsStep IV: Develop Tactics ““How Will I Make My Strategies Happen”How Will I Make My Strategies Happen” Tactics are the specific steps for making each strategy happen. Unless the strategies are broken into very specific steps (tactics), the objectives will not be met. Use a planning worksheet to organize your strategies and tactics in such a way that everything is at your fingertips.
