The Time-Block Philosophy
Top producers don't have more time — they protect it. Treat prospecting like a doctor treats surgery: scheduled, defended, and uninterrupted.
The Ideal Week
- Mon–Fri 8:00–9:00 AM — Mindset, MLS review, hot-sheet check.
- Mon–Fri 9:00–11:00 AM — Prospecting (calls, texts, follow-ups). NO exceptions.
- Mon–Fri 11:00 AM–12:00 PM — Lead follow-up and CRM updates.
- Afternoons — Appointments, showings, listing presentations.
- Friday afternoon — Weekly review, plan next week, database touches.
