Barbara Corcoran's Top 10 Lessons in the Hudson Valley, NY
Barbara Corcoran, Celebrity Broker, Keynote Speaker for TEG Federal Credit Union's day of real estate workshops, in Fishkill, NY. The greatly admired, self-made millionaire, was inspiring to the crowd. She fondly describes times of struggle, loss, failure and her successes...big & small. She quickly stops the crowd from clapping for the $66 million sale of her business...saying "never clap for someone who made money than you.", throwing in, "that money's already spent". Barbara was a straight D student, who knew her personality & street smarts could compete with the big guys, and having a big mouth was her biggest asset. Which bring us to her #1 Lesson, "Perception creates Reality". She tells how she "faked it 'til she made it", this catapulted her small company to stardom, giving her the title "Celebrity Broker". "I didn't have money for advertising, so I had to be creative." It was all about talking a good game...
The gift of a life time..."You'll never succeed without me" was her insurance policy for success. After relationship split, she parted ways with her first agency, She took half of the company and started on her road to success, her creative marketing ideas, like phony Market Reports and articles about non-existent celebrity clients, got her foot in the door with who's who of who's hot now. Hitching her company to the next big thing made people take notice. A Corcoran Report she wrote on Trumps' condos sales took her to an intimidating one-on-one meeting with Donald, to discuss how they weren't #1 in sales. Using price per foot changed the result & created a market trend. Trump took her report, re-titled it, "Trump Tower the most expensive address in the world" gave her a tiny one-line credit, paid for a full page ad in the NY Times. She asked for more credit, he had it re-printed....they became best buddies, she promoted him, he promoted her, a few lawsuits later, she laughs it off...
A delightful speaker, she brings laughs with her honesty, inspires creativity, imparts the power of play & how to be mean for the right reason, She tells you who to hire as a sales staff and who not, and when to fire them, "Shoot the Dog Early", if someone is just not the right fit for sales or on the team. She says get rid of the "Complainers", no matter how well they sell. She fired staff every few months. She shows how important it is to thank your employees, shut off the world when you're home with family, chose which battles to fight and how to take on the big guy....To be inside her business mind & think her crazy marking ideas would work, like "writing a made-up article will put me on the map", brings marketing back to basics. You have to be your own ad hoc, writer, advert, publicist, manager, promoter...if aren't your own #1 fan, you can't get others to buy into you. Barbara Corcoran the real deal, she opened a Real Estate Agency with $1,000 in 1973 and sold for $66 million in 2001....a great day in the real estate business....She did all this with "ribbons in her hair", afterall...a gal's got to have an angle. It inspires one to dream big & when you work hard, use your creativity you can get somewhere too...One of the most important lessons we can all live by, Do what you love and the money will follow....
