Grow your business by growing your relationships. Nearly all the common advice about growing a business points at getting the deal done. Give the pitch, push the prospect, close the deal. Relationships are rarely mentioned at all, and if they are, the focus is on persuasion and pressure. It just doesn't feel right.And sure, a great deal might make your year, but a great relationship can make your entire career. The better approach is to invest in relationships, creating wins for everyone at every turn, even before a decision is made. When you focus on relationships, you're focused on helping instead of selling. You win more of the work directly in front of you. You create demand for the higher value work you want to do, for the clients you want to do it for. And when this flywheel of success starts spinning, everything becomes effortless. Give To Grow will show you: The science and steps to get great at growth. It's not rocket science, it's brain science. The Five Lies that keep professionals from becoming successful, and how to remove each from your mind. The Four Gifts to use to deepen relationships and grow your business in ways everyone wins. And how to implement everything you learn to get the highest return on your most important investment--your time. No matter where you are in your career, Give to Grow will help you build the relationships you need to make the impact you want.

Real estate shifts are easier to recognize than they are to acknowledge. One day job growth is beginning to stall and, seemingly overnight, vacancies are on the rise. Tenants start asking to downsize. Commercial property valuations level off. Negative news stories feed the worries of buyers and tenants. New development halts. Fear creeps in. Then, the market that was quietly losing ground goes into full retreat as tenant delinquencies turn into owner delinquencies and lenders sever lines of credit. Rents go into a free fall as owners scavenge for income to offset a rising tide of red ink. Deals unravel. Buyers and tenants hunker down to wait for a steal. Bankruptcies mount. Eventually, big commercial real estate owners start selling their companies or simply close their doors. Credit freezes up. Banks begin to shut down...Sound familiar? If you've been in the business for any length of time, it should. SHIFT Commercial provides proven models, tactics, and insights from top commercial brokers who are thriving in this market, including Find the Motivated - Lead Generation; Get to the Table - Lead Capture and Conversion; Catch People in Your Web - Internet Lead Conversion; Expand the Options - Creative Financing; Master the Market of the Moment - Identify and Establish Needed Expertise...and so much more.

Este libro no trata sobre liderazgo (al menos en la forma en que normalmente lo pensamos).El liderazgo no tiene que ver con un puesto o con la autoridad. No se trata de grandes discursos o grandes visiones.El liderazgo es involucrar a otros para resolver desafíos difíciles. Esos desafíos aparecen en nuestras vidas profesionales, en nuestras comunidades, en nuestras familias y parecen no tener solución, más allá de nuestra capacidad de ver lo que hay que hacer o fuera de nuestra capacidad para hacer los cambios necesarios. No lo son. Porque, el liderazgo es una actividad, pequeñas intervenciones en momentos de oportunidad. A medida que usted comienza a observar a su alrededor, comenzará a ver más de esos momentos y a aprovechar la oportunidad durante esos momentos. Lo más importante es que también podrá ayudar a otros a ver esas oportunidades. Por eso decimos que todos pueden liderar y el verdadero poder para resolver nuestros desafíos más importantes es cuando todos lideran.
