Todd Black

Todd believes that if you can find a way to understand the
uniqueness of people, it will give you insight to how you can deliver the
extraordinary. When working with one client, he quickly learned that in order
to complete the transaction, it would require a more personalized hands-on
approach. Watch this story unfold below.

Todd says that listening has become one of his greatest
assets. He lives in an area where the market is very competitive and he learned
very early that if he was going to stand out, he needed to be different. For
Todd, being different means creating long-lasting personal experiences for his
clients.

Here are some key points Todd uses when creating these experiences
for his clients:

  1. Listen
    more than talk-
    A listening ear will help you gain a better sense of what your
    client needs outside of the transaction. Whether it’s emotional support,
    encouragement, or a hands-on project, listening to the needs of your client
    will allow you to serve them in a more meaningful way.
  2. Don’t
    settle for average-
    Sometimes meeting a client’s needs will require you to
    go above and beyond. Look for ways to give 121% in exceeding your client’s
    expectations. This will help them feel regarded and creates a long-lasting
    positive personal experience.
  3. Communicate
    and deliver-
    Once you’ve communicated to your client how you will meet
    their needs throughout the transaction, then deliver what you’ve communicated.
    Your delivery and follow-through will show them you’re reliable and they can
    depend on you when they need you most.
