Alex read a really good blog post on Michael Hyatt’s blog by Mark Miller. In the article, Mark outlines what top talent needs from their company in order to keep their attention long term. Turns out, money can only get them so far before they start to look elsewhere. Find out on today’s episode what — REALLY — attracts and keeps top talent.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • One of Alex’s goals this year was to help more people but to also empower and bring up his team, too.
  • How are you attracting your top talent?
  • Money does not attract top talent long-term.
  • Your team will not last forever. People will leave. However, that doesn’t mean you should make bad hires because that’s going to set you back.
  • Top talent wants a better boss. People want their boss to care about them professionally and personally.
  • Top talent wants to know that there’s growth ahead. They want to be challenged.
  • Top talent wants a company with purpose. They want to work with a company that’s aligned with their values.
  • Why does your company exist? What’s your purpose?

Alex recently spoke with a super successful wholesaler and he gave Alex some very enlightening advice that is making him reconsider some things... 

Key Takeaways:

  • This guy has a team of 18 people and is doing around 25 wholesale deals a month.
  • Alex was typing so fast in his phone trying to make notes and keep up with him!
  • First tip: Make sure you are taking your calls live.
  • Have a backup method in case your acquisitions managers can’t answer the call live.
  • Track these KPIs weekly!
  • Acquisition managers should honestly be solely focused on going on appointments and closing. Answering live calls/following from unqualified leads is a distraction for them.  
  • Alex is in the process of scaling up. What does that look like from a logistics perspective?
  • Out of 12 appointments, the team was able to close 4 of them.
  • Email is getting drowned out. Open rates are very low.
  • You have to go above and beyond for sellers.

Alex has three quick takeaways from this week’s show. He has seen a lot of growth happening in his business over the last 90 days to the point where it’s almost surprising how much you can really get done in just 3 months. Alex is also increasing his direct-mail campaigns by about 4-5 times and with that comes some new challenges. On this week’s show, Alex offers some simple reminders so that you don’t get complacent about your success.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • There is so much you can accomplish in a three-month period. Be intentional and do the work.
  • Don’t strive for perfection, strive to be better.
  • Stop following someone else’s success story. Social media can be deceiving.
  • Stick to the basics. The fundamentals aren’t sexy, but they’ll get you to where you need to go.
  • Alex is now 4 to 5X-ing his direct-mail campaign, and with that comes some challenges.
  • When Alex was growing up, he wanted to become a professional athlete. From his father to his coaches, they would all break it down and focus on the basics so that he could get better.
  • Go back to the basics and just be consistent with it!

This week’s master class features Alex doing a solo show in front of his inner circle webinar class. He condenses down three days of training into a quick 20-minute takeaway session on what he learned during these implementation meetings. This knowledge has been so helpful for the business. Everything from goal setting, KPI tracking, to more organized and efficient meetings, and identifying core values for the company have helped the team excel and grow exponentially.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • What did the one-day and two-day EOS implementation even look like for Alex and his team?
  • A lot of people are tracking the wrong KPIs.
  • Usually, meetings are structured in an inefficient way.
  • Alex breaks down what a ‘good’ meeting looks like.
  • Some of the KPIs Alex and his team were tracking actually made no sense to do.
  • The heart of the Level 10 meeting is getting to all the ‘issues’ in the business, to which you dedicate a total of 60 minutes to tackle.
  • The problem with a lot of these meetings is things get talked about, but nothing ends up getting done.
  • At the end of the meeting, you then rate it from on a scale of 1-10 on how well it went. This gives you feedback from the team on how to make the meetings better in the future.
  • Core values are so, so, so, so important for the company and they are instrumental in developing company culture.
  • Why do you do what you do?
  • Also during the two-day event, Alex and his team took a hard look at their ideal customer avatar.
