Anyone who knows how to deliver a structured listing presentation has a book inside of them, you just don’t know it. -Matt Johnson
Three Takeaways
The key thing about writing a book is just getting the basic ideas out of your head and onto paper. Don’t worry too much about how long it will be when you’re just getting started.
If you have a structured listing presentation, you can do a recording of it, and get it transcribed into a book.
There are a lot of ways to solve objections that come up in appointment. We can handle them with our words, or take care of them way in advance with a book.
For most agents the ideas of writing a book is immensely overwhelming and intimidating because it feels like a major time commitment, but it doesn’t have to be. It can actually boost your credibility in a way other types of content don’t. If you write a book on a subject, people are going to assume that you know a lot about it, and that will make any appointment and listing presentation run so much smoother, and make it more likely that you’ll get that client.
