The object of the game is to cross the finish line and close the transaction. But there are lots of players on the team, and it takes a good coach to get them all pushing in the same direction.

REAL ESTATE IS A TEAM SPORT
32. Stephen R. Covey
“If you don't make a conscious effort to
visualize who you are and what you want in
life, then you empower other people and
circumstances to shape you and your life
by default.”

Effective Negotiating for Real Estate Professionals (The Performance Management Network Designation)
Also counts as an ABR elective.
"Separate the people from the problem."
"Focus on interests, not positions."
"Invent options for mutual gain."
"Insist on using objective criteria."
"Know your BATNA (Best Alternative To Negotiated Agreement)"
Proactive communication
clients disappointed when they had to initiate calls for information
Expected a “team” behind the agent
Staff, partners, referral network
Like receiving referrals to ancillary services
handyman, lender, inspector, attorney
Covey’s habits 4-6 deal with the interdependent nature of relationships.
interdependence requires people to first be independent.
in other words, i cant be a good team member until i have my own act together.
you know who those people are.
right people on the bus in the right seats
