Are teams the only way forward in the real estate industry? Can we grow our businesses without having a team? On this episode, Lori Lentz-Widner and Lori Sorensen from the Harrelson Group discuss how they’ve boosted their business and built stronger connections with their clients- without having a team.   Takeaways + Tactics  While we may not need a team, we should consider hiring an administrative assistant. Small activities add up, and we’ll be surprised at how much time you save by passing the activities onto someone else. Connection is extremely important. To forge a bond with clients, we should speak to them as we would a family member and make sure we have their best interests at heart. We must respond to leads the moment we receive a notification. Responding immediately shows we’re the most efficient agent, and in the fast-paced world we live in, our clients will definitely appreciate it. In this episode, we discussed the importance of dealing with clients the right way. We suggested paying attention to your tone when asking the questions, and shared how to create a comfortable environment.   We also discussed:  The difference between how we sound and how you think we sound Connecting with buyers over the phone, before the call ends The importance of meeting face to face While industry trends show so many agents gravitating towards teams, they’re not the only way to get ahead. We need to find someone who can handle the small activities we do daily, so we can spend more time on building connections. Ultimately, connections are the most important part of the business- and we should be treating all our clients like family.   Guest Bio-  Originally from Wisconsin, Lori Lentz-Widner moved to Myrtle Beach for college in 2000 and fell in love with the area.
