Before designing a compensation program it is important to first identify who your customer truly is before you start recruiting. I believe that many Brokers do not have a defined outline of the REALTOR® they want to attract. Given the challenges of recruitment, Brokers tend to be seduced by the physiological win of a new heartbeat as opposed to being focused on acquiring the right REALTOR®. The result is often the development of compensation programs designed to attract them on price.

In order to run a profitable real estate brokerage, Brokers need to know and understand the metrics that impact the bottom line. Only then can they make profit predictable and set themselves up for long-term growth. Also, knowing how your financial metrics compare with others is invaluable when making strategic financial and operational decisions - especially if you're contemplating a merger, acquisition or exit strategy. However, many Brokers don’t know where to access accurate data to compare with or they question the reliability of the data they do have.
