D I S C - How to Understand your Personality? ... key to Real Estate Agent success!

 

I want to emphasize that when I say "key to Real Estate Agent success" I actually refer to all professionals - salesperson engaged in interacting with consumers. 

Behavioral research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves, both their strengths and weaknesses, so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment.

A person's behavior is a necessary and integral part of who they are. In other words, much of our behavior comes from "nature" (inherent), and much comes from "nurture" (our upbringing). It is the universal language of "how we act," or our observable human behavior.

It is a small step to learn to adapt your behavior to achieve better relationships, avoid, prevent and resolve conflicts.

 

  1. 1. On your personal level using our own power of judgment and gut instinct.
  2. 2. On the professional level, the method used by top corporations, top Real Estate organizations, and successful salespeople is to use the researched, tested, and proven methods of a DISC assessment.

Above image is a DISC test result (a real saleperson's chart) showing how this is done. DISC (Dominant-Influence-Stable-Conform) is an abbreviation for the four basic personality styles.

  • The "D" of DISC is a Dominant person, results oriented style, quick to anger, and eager to fight back in conflict. High "D's" are often quite successful but not always nice people.
  • The "I" of DISC is an Influential relationship oriented person, friendly and optimistic who wants to move away from conflict. High "I's" are fun but sometimes you question their sincerity.
  • The "S" is a Stable Steady trust oriented person, emotionally more passive, yet strong and tolerant of conflict. High "S's" are the strongest team members and excellent negotiators but they are not easily forthcoming with their thoughts and feelings. 
  • The "C" in DISC is the Conforming process oriented person, prone to fear and worry, watching for conflict and avoiding it. High "C's" alert you to the potential dangers and drawbacks of your plans. They are excellent at implementation. However, they can appear pessimistic. 

How DISC correlates to buyers and sellers of real estate?  The question often asked is whether one style or another is more likely to be successful as a Real Estate Agent.

Now this looks like a Horoscope chart... as complex and fascinating... but DISC is a scientific analyses of your character, personality, traces: CONDUCTOR, PERSUADER, PROMOTER, RELATER, SUPPORTER, COORDINATOR, ANALYZER, IMPLEMENTER.
Examole: 

  • Statistically High Dominant "D" and High Influential "I" styles are higher performers in a sales environment including Real Estate.
  • However Stable Steady "S" styles are the strongest negotiators. And some of the most successful mega company owners are very high Conforming "C" style.

***************************

This report is measuring four dimensions of normal behavior, analyzes behavioral style; that is, a person's manner of doing things...

They are:

  • how you respond to problems and challenges.
  • how you influence others to your point of view.
  • how you respond to the pace of the environment.
  • how you respond to rules and procedures set by others.

So, each style can achieve exceptional status and results in specific positions throughout the Real Estate profession. As you more clearly understand your style you can choose the most successful direction for your career.

Are you popular on ActiveRain?...

  

... Where everybody knows your name... 

What makes you popular in real life? Some have that special gift to attract attention, create good report with it's peers and few even becoming well known in the community. 

It is a gift or it is a craft?

For some comes easy and natural as they are blest with god given poise, sense of humor and zest for life. Those are the ones that glow in any circumstances of life... It's easy! 

For others is a long struggle with breaking those barriers that keeps them on the other side of the spectrum, It is something wrong with them?

Of-course NOT.

When popularity rate is low, in any community including ActiveRain, the way to overcome it is to work your craft, learn from others and do the best.  

The general wisdom will tell us that in the blooging world what sets us apart from others is the emotional, provocative reaction we generate among the readers. Subjects and areas of your expertise that will work as a magnet to attract readers therefore the popularity of your blog.

I've been asking myself many times how some post get Featured on ActiveRain Homepage? Who selects the best material written for the :

Professional | Consumer | All | Subscribed
Order: Most Recent | Most Active | Last Comment
Time: Today | This Week | This Month | All Time
 

I cam across fantastic posts with very good content, writing skill (on all the category above mentioned), and I may add with lots of comments... that never appears anywhere on ActiveRain popular Featured posts.

It's ActiveRain a popularity contest or there are rules well in place that we all should know about. As for one I would like to hear an explanation.

Does anyone here knows how is this done?

Why Broker make more money.(Humor)...

 Now, for the first time we have a rigid Mathematical proof that explains why this is in fact true.

Postulate 1: Knowledge is power.

Postulate 2: Time is money.

As every Engineer knows, Work / Time = Power

Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have Work / Money = Knowledge

Solving for Money, we get: Work / Knowledge = Money Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero,

Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

The SECRET of Active Rain's success... life changing experience!

So, what is the secret of AR success?...Activeraingraph  Active Rain concept of  "user-generated" content, created by it's members, is brilliant because that is the engine of the network, generates traffic, lot of traffic,  attract more users, lots of users...boosting the site's popularity in a self-perpetuating cycle. Active Rain has reached a long lasting life of its own.

But there are other elements that contribute to Active Rain success... Let me see if I can outline here as I see them:

  • Active Rain real estate social networking, came into place at the right time for a much challenged real estate market. Valuable facts provided by the real estate community about professional practices, opinion about changes in the industry, as well as the outentic source of informations about the up-and-down nature of the business, erased the confusions and misconception about local markets...
  • Active Rain network is an organization that bring around and together, real estate professionals from around the country. It impressive for a site that's geared for industry pros, rather than consumers (Localism.com is ActiveRain's "consumer side"), to reach the performances and popularity they did.
  • Active Rain becomes a place to learn and share your experiences with other professional fellow. Networking opportunities.  Friendships.  I've never seen so many people come together as a community online than with the members of AR.  There's camaraderie.  What a beautiful opportunity to create referral business.Top Ten Reasons you should join us at Real Estate Connect for an ActiveRain Gathering!!
  • ActiveRain is currently the greatest opportunity on the web for real estate agents looking for referral business. 
  • ActiveRain in many ways worked as a support group for those real estate members who had to overcome hardship in their professional life... Betty Ford for Bloggers: 12 step program to managing blog addiction
  • ActiveRain has launched what it's calling "Outside Blogs" - a new feature that lets AR members take their content outside the sandbox that ActiveRain currently provides ActiveRain outside blogs - sneak preview
  • Active Rain reported to have 45.000 members, and growing as we speack...
  • ActiveRain's steady growth in membership is impressive. As per April 2007 (with 28,706 members at that time) AR ranked on 78 place, among top 100... a good place to be, because those sites collectively grab about 70 percent of traffic in the category.
  • Above all Active Rain membership is free ... How much we can ask for?
