  Mid-Month Check In Part II 16.09.2026 44min

  "Meeting your monthly seller listing goal is a critical priority and a major preoccupation," James Shaw reads straight from MREA page 231, and lands it on the middle of September for a reason: this is the 30 day window he believes matters most all year. Agents open up on the awkward, gut punch moment of discovering a past client listed with someone else, sharing real scripts for reaching out with curiosity instead of guilt, and the surprising reasons behind it. Then James breaks down the 15th Protocol, a predetermined set of moves you run when you're behind on your listing goal mid-month, and agents share exactly what's working, from calling old dead leads back to switching call times to the highest pickup window of the day. Real talk about what to cut from your calendar when you're behind, and why hitting your number has to become the preoccupation until it's not anymore.Aired on September 16, 2026 The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics. If you are stuck, we have the solution. This mastermind prepares any real estate agent to be several steps ahead of a market shift.James Shaw started this community during the pandemic.

  Mid-Month Production Check Up 15.09.2026 40min

  Now that you know your number, you know you have to hit it. James Shaw pulls out MREA to break down what actually separates high achievers from everyone else, and it's not talent or timing, it's tenacity toward one specific number: listings taken. James walks through a new tool called the Lead Gen Runway, showing exactly how many lead gen days you have left before it's too late to close a deal by year end, and why the answer to "am I behind" isn't shame, it's clarity. Before that, agents dig into one of the most common seller frustrations, missing feedback after a showing, and how to set expectations up front instead of blaming other agents for staying quiet. If you're not sure whether you're on pace to hit your 2026 goals, this episode gives you the exact math to find out, and the mindset shift to stop beating yourself up about it either way.Aired on September 15, 2026The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics.

  Activities Create Results 14.09.2026 42min

  What's actually creating your appointments right now? Guest host Kristen Jungles pivots the call around one hard truth: every win agents celebrate: paid-off debt, flight school tuition, three-week vacations, legacy for their kids - only happened because of consistent daily activity. No fluff. Kristen asks agents to name the specific thing they're doing that's generating real results, right now. The answers: the Inspire Tracker and tier-one intentionality, a communication calendar built on monthly events, YouTube videos bringing in 5 leads a week, gratitude gatherings that turn past clients into referrals, VIP pop-bys, attorney relationships for probate leads, and five open houses a week. The common thread: it's not about doing more, it's about doing the right things consistently enough to compound. With 90 days left in the year, Kristen makes the case that what you do now defines how Q1 2027 shows up. Activities create appointments. Appointments create contracts. Contracts create closings.Aired on September 14, 2026The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics.

  A SHIFT Does Matter. Here's Why. 11.09.2026 40min

  Is paying attention to a shifting market what separates winners from losers - or the opposite? James Shaw makes the case that agents who track the shift are protecting their edge, not losing it. Pulling from Gary Keller's SHIFT playbook (page 16), James breaks down why knowing where the market is headed changes your conversations, where you spend your lead gen dollars, and how many listings you actually need to hit your goals as the market slows. Agents from Chicago, Massachusetts, the Midwest, and Orlando share what the shift looks like on the ground - from a 188-unit Chicago building with zero listings to pre-listing inspections becoming the norm. The takeaway: the market doesn't decide if you win - it decides your strategy.

  The Anatomy of a SHIFT 10.09.2026 43min

  Is your market really a buyer's market or a seller's market right now? James Shaw breaks down the actual anatomy of a shift, straight from the Shift playbook (pages 9-12), and shows real month supply data state by state and metro by metro to prove that what's happening nationally isn't necessarily what's happening in your zip code. James walks through the exact thresholds that define a buyer's market, a seller's market, and the shift in between, then explains why acting like the market that's coming, not the market you're in, is the key to getting ahead of it.Aired on September 10, 2026The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics.

  We're Witnessing a SHIFT 09.09.2026 39min

  Inventory is climbing toward pre pandemic levels. Price reductions are up. Pendings are down. James Shaw breaks down the national data showing real estate is shifting right now, and what that actually means for your business, whether you're feeling it yet or not. James pulls out the Shift playbook to explain why the market doesn't determine your success, it determines your strategy, and why the one thing you own that nobody else in the industry has is your database and the relationships inside it.

  Blessing Baskets: Help Your Community Help Itself 08.09.2026 39min

  One agent started with 118 Thanksgiving baskets her first year. Last year, her community brought in 468. On today's call, Ellie McIntyre walks through Blessing Baskets, a simple, low cost way real estate agents can give back to their community every fall, an entire Thanksgiving meal packed into a decorated laundry basket, collected through your database and delivered through local schools, food pantries, or community partners. Ellie breaks down exactly how to run it without letting it consume your business, why you should never be the one handing out the baskets yourself, and the mistakes to avoid along the way. Then agents jump in with their own numbers and best practices, from partnering with local businesses and hosting karaoke fundraiser nights to turning it into a school wide competition that pulled in over 500 pounds of food. If you've ever wanted an easy, repeatable way to give back to your community while building real relationships along the way, this episode lays out the entire playbook.Aired on September 8, 2026The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics.

  Pricing is a Skill 04.09.2026 40min

  One in five active listings had a price reduction last month, and it's not because agents don't know how to price a house, it's because they're getting outnegotiated by their own sellers before the listing even goes live. James Shaw pulls out his original Shift book to break down why pricing is both a science and an art, and why holding the line on price takes real persuasion skills, not just data. Agents share the exact scripts they use when a seller pushes back, why silence after a tough pricing conversation is your best tool, and one agent's story of pricing her own home exactly how she coaches her clients, then watching it sell for way over asking in 24 hours.Aired on September 4, 2026The Pivot: SHIFT Ahead morning call is in an interview format, where agents across the globe share their expert input on various real estate topics.

  Why You Need More Listings 03.09.2026 44min

  Real estate agents need more listings right now, and the math proves it.Using Diana Kokoska's classic formula, James walks through real numbers: how days on market, fallout rates, and listing-to-sale ratios all shift what "enough listings" actually looks like, and why the number you needed two years ago probably isn't the number you need now. Agents share what's actually working to ramp up their pipelines, from expireds and FSBOs to preforeclosures and pure database follow up, plus a full segment on how agents are using intake questions and personal touches to surprise and delight clients long after closing.
