There’s a phrase baked into service culture that most of us absorbed without question: the customer is always right. In real estate, that idea causes a lot of damage. Not because clients are bad or wrong or unreasonable, but because when we treat “the customer is always right” as a guiding principle, we stop leading. […]
There’s a moment in every difficult client conversation that most agents misread. You start to feel like you’re losing them. That low-level panic sets in and almost instinctively, you push harder. More information. More data. More reasons why this is the right home, the right price, the right time. More convincing. But here’s what that […]
The other day, I watched my grandson Oliver helping his dad make dinner. He had his own little cutting board and a plastic knife, and at one point he started squishing pieces of carrot through the garlic press. As I watched him use all of his 6 year old might to push a piece of […]
There’s a moment before a big opportunity where everything can wobble. Confidence drops. Doubt creeps in. And suddenly, you’re questioning everything you know. That’s exactly where my client found herself a few hours before a major listing presentation. The Crisis Before the Breakthrough She called me in a full-blown crisis of confidence. Not because she […]
If you’re a real estate agent or entrepreneur focused on sustainable business growth, you’ve likely heard this before: “I’ll keep you in mind.” Most people smile, say thank you, and let the conversation end there. Sales leaders don’t. Not because the person didn’t mean it. But because they understand how human psychology works. And they […]
Last week, I had the honour of giving the keynote address at a Royal LePage awards gala. As I watched the agents walk across the stage to receive their awards, I knew there were three types of people in that room. Award season is recognition. But it’s also reflection. And for real estate agents who […]
There’s a quote from Chapter 14 of my book Align & Prosper that captures the heart of modern real estate sales: “People don’t want to be sold. They want to be seen, heard, understood, and guided.” This single shift in understanding has the power to transform the way you lead conversations, build trust, and convert […]
I have a confession to make. I have a really hard time with dreaming. In my book, I talk about my ALIGNED Practice™ – the morning ritual I use to keep myself grounded, focused, and aligned with the version of me I’m becoming. Each letter represents one of the pillars: And I’ll be honest, the […]
There is nothing, and I mean nothing, more important in your business and your life than feeling good. Not the numbers. Not the to-do list. Not the goals you set on January 1st. Because if you don’t feel good inside the business you’re building . . . what are we even doing? Recently, I had […]
You’ve probably heard the saying: “Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint.” And while there’s truth in that, here’s the real story no one tells you: sometimes, you’ll need to sprint. If you’re in real estate, you know exactly what I mean. The spring and fall markets, juggling multiple offers, back-to-back showings, or wrapping up […]
A client once asked me how she could prove her value to sellers when she was competing for a listing. She wanted to know if she should add more services – extra photos, a drone video, staging, or maybe even (half-jokingly) show up to the open house in a clown suit. Here’s what I told […]
Last week, a new member in my mastermind group asked me, “So, what’s your book about?” I shared my answer, and she responded with enthusiasm which caused my coach to laugh and say, “Sounds like Sally is inspired to write a book now.” I unmuted my zoom mic and I said, only partly joking, “Don’t […]
It was an early summer day, and the women attending my Rest and Rise Retreat for Women in Real Estate were gathered on a spacious deck nestled in the lush West Coast forest of Bowen Island. We were there for yoga before starting our summer planning session, ocean in the distance, blackberry bushes climbing the […]
