Exploring the Eco Green Aspects of Real Estate Sales
Real estate agents are involved in most transactions that transfer ownership of homes and land in the U.S. and abroad.

Eco informed agents can provide information on how owners can increase energy efficiency of their home, improve indoor air quality and use environmentally friendly material when upgrading and remodeling while learning about the potential for the increase in property value. As a CENTURY 21 Agent herself, Sharon Ledbetter will give agents a better understanding of the elements of the home from an environmental friendly perspective, in addition to assisting listing clients in making choices that include the possibility of refurbishing their home for the market with environmentally friendly products. Informed agents are better equipped in providing buyers with supportive information they can use to make a healthier living environment. Once and should be an environmentally friendly plan for the home is complete, a buyer
can make changes before moving into their new home or implement them over a period of time as budget allows. Attendees will receive an EcoGreen Acknowledgement of Study upon completion of this workshop.

Bringing Value as a Leader
Too many who call themselves a Leader think their value is created by their position; reality is a leader’s value is defined by their presence. The difference between the two is the respect their people show them. If a leader does not have the respect of the people they are there to lead, there can be no leadership. Bringing Value as a Leader is definitely not your normal leadership program. It is designed to challenge the thinking of those who lead to deal with the new breed of person they are now asked to take forward.

Management throughout the Years... An Examination on How Past Management Practices Illuminate the Present Is true leadership taught or inborn?
Taking leadership for granted all these years, and wondering if leadership is nature or nurture never crossed our speaker’s mind. However, as part of the senior leadership team for Century 21 Real Estate LLC, Jon Sagrillo has witnessed and studied many different leadership styles over his 20 years at CENTURY 21
International Headquarters, and understands that the neglect of leadership thought
and focus is a management weakness that needs to be corrected and explained to the CENTURY 21 brokerage family. Exploring over time the different thoughts on leadership doctrine will be the sub plot of this breakout, but more importantly the main objective for how a broker or manager can discover which leadership style is best suited for them.


No Excuse Management
It’s amazing how many managers spend their time either making excuses for or justifying the non-productive behavior of the people they are managing. What many fail to realize is — as long as they make excuses for or refuse to confront the excuses of their people, the people have no reason to face their behavior. In this insightful program, Richard Flint explores how management makes excuses for their people, why they make those excuses and what it takes to hold people accountable. You will explore the difference between leadership and management and learn the role of each in the business environment. The conclusion shows you what great companies do that separate themselves from the competition and how they make sure they can keep their quality people.

The Power of Three to Grow Your Company

This session will provide specific, result-oriented and time-efficient systems for immediate installation. Increase your agent production, profit and market position with the power of three.


Training Agents Appropriately
ONE SIZE FITS ALL SELDOM FITS ANYONE. This is especially true with agent training.

Do you know and how do you provide it? The same is true with B’s, C’s
and D’s.

Friendly Persuasion: Gaining Trust and Loyalty
The “4 Principled Model” developed by the Harvard Negotiation Project is the most recent and innovative negotiation strategy. Principle No. 1, “Separate the People from the Problem,” creates the foundation for the negotiation and thus the four principles. As all negotiations have as much to do, if not more, with predictable “people problems” than substantive problems, the basis for resolution is to first identify and then overcome those “people problems,” especially the first predictable form of resistance… distrust. Ed Hatch will teach participants the capability of identifying the three essential elements that affect the outcome of any negotiation.

Friendly Persuasion: Getting Past “No”
The third predictable form of resistance is the predictable need for give and take by
establishing strategies for handling and answering objections effectively. The participant will leave the session capable of applying a six-step process for overcoming any objection, handling the most common objections of price, commission and low offers, and identifying and handling specific negotiating “gambits.”
