    Want More Closings? Master Your PIE Time

    t’s business planning season, and what better way to prepare for a successful 2025 than by mastering “PIE Time”? Join Eric Thompson and Ninja Coach Mark Johnson on the Ninja Selling Podcast for a fun and insightful discussion about maximizing your productivity and achieving significant results. This episode breaks down the often-overcomplicated concept of PIE Time into easy-to-implement strategies, perfect for agents of all experience levels. As Thanksgiving approaches, what better time to discuss how to make the most of your "pie" – your valuable time?

    Eric and Mark emphasize the importance of tracking your time within the three key categories of PIE Time: Productive Time (P Time), Indirectly Productive Time (I Time), and Everything Else Time (E Time). They explain how understanding the relationship between these categories can lead to more predictable income and a smoother, more consistent business. They offer practical tips and real-life coaching examples to illustrate how tracking and analyzing these time segments can reveal hidden opportunities for growth.

    Tune in to discover how to calculate key ratios like dollars per P Time hour and dollars per I Time hour, which can illuminate the true value of your activities. Learn how to optimize your I Time to generate more P Time and ultimately boost your bottom line. Eric and Mark also explore strategies for leveraging E Time – often seen as less valuable – by delegating, automating, or rethinking tasks to create more opportunities for client interaction and business growth. This episode is a must-listen for any real estate professional looking to level up their business in the new year.

    How to Finish 2024 Strong and Set Up for 2025 Success

    Rob and Peter are the hosts today, and together they explore the evolving dynamics of the real estate industry, focusing on how agents can navigate the "new normal." They discuss the significant structural changes impacting the market, offering strategies for thriving amidst fewer transactions and increased marketplace noise. Central to their advice is the importance of relationship-building and mastering core business practices like the "Ninja Nine," which are essential for long-term success in real estate. By leveraging these fundamentals, agents can maintain stability in uncertain times while driving business growth.

    Our hosts emphasize that in today’s competitive market, success boils down to two key aspects: generating business and effectively executing it. They review the power of tools like F.O.R.D. calls and relationship-building techniques, which many agents still struggle to master. To finish 2024 strong and position themselves for success in 2025, agents need to focus on nurturing client relationships, reconnecting with their database, and improving their expertise through live training like Ninja Now. As is highlighted here today, the path to success in real estate isn’t just about surviving—it’s about excelling through skillful, consistent execution.
