Any activity an agent undertakes that directly supports a marketable listing they have, a qualified buyer they are working with or a transaction-in-process in which they are involved can be considered a ‘Blue Time’ activity in real estate.

How important are ‘Blue Time’ activities? Second in importance behind ‘Green Time’ activities. But, be careful!

As you become more and more productive, your week which was once a sea of ‘Green’ can quickly turn to ‘Blue’. Your must learn how to control your legitimate ‘Blue Time’ activities to protect your income. Good awareness, habits, discipline and training, like i-FAStTRAC®, can help!

The best way to control ‘Blue Time’ activities is time-blocking!

When planning your day, and your week, try and schedule ‘Blue Time’ activities, also know as ‘Support Time’ activities, at the front-end, or the back-end, of the day whenever possible. This habit will free-up more of your ‘Real Estate Prime Time’ (9 A.M. – 7 P.M.) to concentrate on the ‘Green Time’ activities which make you a living.

Examples of ‘Blue Time’ activities include: writing an ad for your new listing, placing a lawn sign on a listing, creating a flyer for your upcoming Open House, doing a Competitive Market Analysis for an upcoming Marketing (Listing) Presentation; and follow-up calls to existing clients and customers.

All of these ‘Support Time’ activities are important because they are service-related. BUT…do not allow them to define your day or your week! If your don’t control ‘Blue Time’ activities it will cost you and you will see your productivity plateau very quickly.

Remember: Real estate is first and foremost a business of marketing, secondarily a business of selling and thirdly a business of servicing. Don’t allow your ‘service proposition’ to displace the other two!
