How to build stock with social capital: the new world of entrepreneurial networking.
In retail we say stock sells stock. In realty (and reality), if you don’t have stock, there’s nothing to sell. Your source of stock depends on a number of factors, but there is one element that stands out above all else: your social capital.
Join us for a two-hour masterclass on the importance, misperceptions and knowledge required to build up social capital to give you the listings you need. You will learn about the Strength of Weak Ties and Structural Holes – just two crucial concepts for building up the social capital needed for a healthy stock pipeline. After these two hours, you will never see your world in the same way again.
Who is this course for?
Because the entire ecosystem of property and the social lanscape has changed so much since Covid, this course is suited to both the rookie and experienced estate agent. It is the environment that has changed – we could all see the challenge with a fresh lens. Although the motivated sales agent with a resilient mindset may have been the ingredients for success, today the value of social capital has become the paramount attribute. Build that and your stock pipeline builds itself.
