Tips for Building a Great Team w/Matt Bohanon

June 22, 2019

Building a team from scratch sounds overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be. How can you go about building the most effective team possible? What should you be looking for in the recruitment process, and how can you maintain a great team? On this episode, Matt Bohanon shares how he built his own team at Keller Williams and the tactics that led to his team's success.

Takeaways + Tactics

• Focus on recruits with customer experience. It’s more important to find team members who know how to give great customer service than years of experience in the real estate industry.
  
• Have your staff write down every activity they do, and how long it takes them. From there, you can assess what should be done by a virtual assistant.
  
• Don’t forget the importance of a great company culture. While systems are what build your business, culture is what allows it to grow.

Starting a business with the CEO model can be a daunting task, but if you’re training a talented team of recruits, you can see great results. Take your business a step at a time and make sure you’re constantly striving for improvement. Don’t be discouraged if you fail along the way. The most important thing is learning from your mistakes and correcting your course.
