Realtor® Nicole Prescott - A Story of Conflict and Success (And More Time with Loved Ones!)
Nicole Prescott serves Alexandria, VA, and nearby areas. She prides herself in really listening to her clients and thereby providing home-buyers and sellers with professional, responsive, and attentive real estate services. And she became a dear friend and an exceptional client of mine.
Not without initial conflict, however!
When Nicole started working with The Leverage Co, she was five years into the business, which started as a hobby at first. Passionate about staging homes, she helped her Realtor® friends in her free time until one of them suggested she get into the business herself.
We met Nicole shortly after the pandemic started. Like everyone else, she was initially nervous about her future in this field - a profession that relies entirely on human interaction. And then the overwhelm hit - the boom in Real Estate was something neither Nicole nor anyone else expected!
Nicole realized that she needed that ‘something extra’ to her approach. The Leverage Co. seemed to be just the answer.
Adapting to a Different Perspective
Practical solutions to challenges often come with a different view on matters - a new perspective. This is something Nicole quickly realized and accepted. She discovered a tendency to be set in ways that kept her from growing to her fuller potential.
She relates: “The first thing Sheena had me do was reassess my social presence. She asked me where most of my business came from, and I told her that I preferred Instagram.”
“She asked again: “No; where do you get most of your business.” which is Facebook, but I did not want to spend my time developing Facebook! I then realized that it was a matter of preferring to use Instagram - Before, I had never thought of this!
Implementing this suggestion by developing her Facebook profile led to bigger things. She found her sphere to be much bigger and her reach far more effective.
The Process Gets Real
It is imperative to understand the nature of the services offered at TLC from the start. When signing up for the ‘Systems Rehab’ package, or any other service, a lot of work happens behind the scenes.
Before signing up with us, we will explain the process. We encourage you to ask as many questions as you need to understand the way things will proceed. When signing up, you will have access to a direct channel of communication with us, which is crucial to help you when things are not clear. We inform you of everything through the meetings and from the start, but some aspects may be hard to visualize until you see the result.
I mention it because this was a potential stumbling block in my relationship with Nicole. However, we both learned from the experience, and as always, good communication helped us emerge from initial conflict to reflect the strong Boss Ladies we both are.
Quintessential to Success
Nicole admits: “When I reached out, I thought I had my things in order” The amount of work that we did behind the scenes and the resulting system blew her away.
“Things I thought I didn’t need to do, I am now completely in control of. Relying on a calendar, tracking my clients, marketing, and everything going on in my life on a daily basis. I even have time for family and date nights!”
“When starting a business, everything gets lost in the sauce, including important matters or people, so one of the main things I appreciated was that Sheena helped me hone in on what I needed to do for my family as well.”
So from initially feeling like signing up with The Leverage Co. wasn’t the best idea, she now feels the complete opposite. She concludes:
“If you need your help building your business, building your systems, building you as a person, reach out to Sheena. I’ve grown tremendously. I use her systems regularly. These are not just systems you buy and then watch a couple of classes; no, I trust my systems. I’ve grown as a person. Sheena and her team are absolutely amazing.”
Do you Have it all Under Control?
I speak to countless clients who reiterate Nicole’s perception. You might be coping just fine and have it all under control. That is, apart from the missed opportunities and overwhelm that consistently rears its ugly old head. You may feel that a system is easy enough to put in place, and you make yourself all kinds of promises.
But when you experience the support and structure we implement, you will reach a potential you may not have realized possible. A supportive, hardworking team led by someone who has perfected the art of organizational systems in Real Estate is the best thing that could happen to your business!
