About this episode
Most of the Ninja Selling podcast's episode topics come from conversations Matt and Garrett have with one another or from things they hear from their coaching clients. Sometimes they plan their topics ahead of time, but most topics are decided about 10 minutes before they hit the record button, while our hosts are catching up with each other. Regardless, all topics are of tremendous value. Just like today's, which Garrett calls the deciding factor for success in today's market, and in any market. Today's episode is all about how consistency—sticking with the Ninja System (or another system if you've found it to be helpful. But we all know Ninja is the best, right?) and staying the course through every market change—will lead to success and business growth. It will also make you that trusted advisor that people want to do business with. Matt will point you to a few books and articles for additional reference, Garrett will tell a story about how not training for a walk got him in trouble, and they'll both emphasize how consistency and preparedness matter so much.

Episode Highlights: The only constant is change but systems should not change People look for an advisor who provides value The Ninja System can handle it all Flatten the curve Have a consistent plan Quotes: "If you look at the past two, three years, the people who are consistent are people who did not change their systems. Their buyer process was still the buyer process. The seller process was still that. Their flow was still their flow. They still did their autoflow. They did all the Ninja things. The Ninja Nine was consistent."' "A lot of you pivoted away from what works, and then you got accustomed to certain dynamics of the market that were supportive of, kind of, cutting corners and maybe not being in flow as much." "People look for an advisor who provides value. And that can be you if you run the system." "The beauty of running the Ninja system is you can handle buyers, you can handle sellers, you can handle expireds, you can handle open houses, you can handle short sales." "There's nothing wrong with exploring other skills in addition to working on the foundation of your business." "Real estate is just the byproduct of these incredible relationships that you've built." "If you're always changing how you run the business, you don't have something that lasts, that can build the consistency so that in three, four, or five years, all of a sudden, you just have this flow of stuff coming towards you." "The market could potentially 'be changing' but it's really this: the market mindset. We need to flatten the curve and keep that consistent." "There's a lot of people who need trusted advisors out there. There's confusion in the marketplace about 'what does all this mean? Where are we going? What does this look like?' and it's just an incredible opportunity to be that person for them." "Do we have a consistent plan that our clients can trust that we know what we're doing long-term?"
