The doors to KW’s Mega Agent Camp 2024 will swing open on Monday, Aug. 12, welcoming in real estate agents from across the country and beyond. As the industry’s leading agent education and training event, MAC centers on mainstage conversations with more than 120 top-producing agents from across KW, who share the inside scoop on their success. With so many powerful panelists, that means there’s a lot to take in over just a few days. And because MAC won’t be returning to Austin next year, this is the summer to explore the heart of the capital city. Follow our lead to learn how to make the most of MAC24.
Take (and Share) Notes
Information saturation is real. It can be especially hard to pace yourself at a convention or conference, when speakers and panelists have so much action-oriented information to impart. Jay Papasan, KW’s vice president of strategic content and co-author of The ONE Thing, suggests using his TIPSS framework to avoid “convention letdown.”
Jay says taking notes by hand is the gold standard, but however you prefer to take down information, writing helps you synthesize what you hear and increases retention, even if you never consult your notes again.
Since you can’t be everywhere at once, it can also be helpful to partner with associates from your team or market center to share notes. If everyone chooses a different panel to cover and posts their notes on a shared drive, no one misses out. Sharing notes can lead to sharing tactics and strategies, which helps you build rapport with other agents, while also discovering aha’s you may have overlooked.
Jay recommends setting aside time after a big event to consolidate your key takeaways, and turning a long list of could-do items into a short list of action items that will make the biggest impact in your business. When you get home from MAC, time block your top priority and get started on it ASAP. By taking quick action, you’ll move past procrastination to experience a sense of progress and the satisfaction of knowing your time and money were well spent.
Feed Body and Soul
Running on empty at a big event is never a good idea, so it’s wise to plan ahead when it comes to food. This year’s CEO Summit, hosted by Gary Keller, opens MAC24 and runs from noon to 5 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 12. With five hours of can’t-miss conversation on the docket between Gary and special guests Jason Dorsey, Brittany Hodak, Shawn Stevenson, and Kindra Hall, you’ll want to go in fueled up – and bring snacks!
