THE iNVISIQ COACH'S CHALLENGE

Will Your Current Business Plan Get You There — And Beyond?

This is not a test of what you already know or what you already have in place. It is designed to help determine whether the way iNVISIQ approaches building a real estate business matches the kind of business you want.

HOW TO ANSWER: Choose YES if you want this to become part of your real estate business — even if it is missing today. Choose NO if this is not how you want to operate your business.
01 DO YOU WANT A REAL BUSINESS PLAN?

Do you want a plan that connects your income goals to the actual business activities, expenses, clients and commission opportunities needed to reach them?

YES means: You want to know where you are trying to go and have an actual plan for getting there.
NO means: You prefer to work transaction to transaction without building around defined business and income goals.
EXAMPLE: Instead of simply saying, “I want to make more money,” your plan connects an income goal to the clients, commission opportunities, activities and expenses required to pursue it.
WHY WE ASK: The U.S. Small Business Administration describes a business plan as a roadmap for how a business is structured, run and grown. SOURCE: U.S. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION →
02 DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY MAKING YOU MONEY?

Do you want to track which activities, lead sources, relationships and strategies are actually producing clients and commissions?

YES means: You want evidence showing what is working so you can do more of it — and identify what is consuming time or money without producing results.
NO means: You do not want to track or evaluate where your business results are coming from.
EXAMPLE: If you invest 20 hours and $500 into a campaign, you want to know whether it ultimately produced conversations, clients and commissions — not simply clicks, impressions or likes.
WHY WE ASK: Sustainable business growth requires knowing what is producing results and using those results to make better decisions about where time and resources should go. SOURCE: SCORE — MARKETING & SALES PROCESS MAPPING →
03 DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ONE WAY TO CREATE COMMISSION OPPORTUNITIES?

Do you want a business capable of creating opportunities from multiple sources instead of depending heavily on one lead source, platform, prospecting method or market condition?

YES means: You want several potential paths to future business.
NO means: You are comfortable relying primarily on one source or method for new business.
EXAMPLE: Your opportunities might come from past clients, referrals, buyers, sellers, geographic farming, local relationships, online marketing and other sources instead of depending almost entirely on purchased leads.
WHY WE ASK: NAR's 2026 Member Profile reporting shows experienced REALTORS® leaning on repeat clients, referrals and diversified business strategies to navigate difficult market conditions. SOURCE: NAR — 2026 MEMBER PROFILE COVERAGE →
04 DO YOU WANT TODAY'S CLIENT TO HELP BUILD TOMORROW'S BUSINESS?

Do you want your client-service process designed not only to complete today's transaction, but also to create the possibility of future repeat and referral business?

YES means: You want every successfully served client to have the potential to become part of your future business.
NO means: You primarily want to complete the current transaction and then move on to finding another client.
EXAMPLE: A buyer you serve today may later become a seller, buy again, or introduce you to someone else who needs an agent.
WHY WE ASK: NAR's 2026 reporting says the typical member received 28% of business from past clients. Among REALTORS® with more than 16 years of experience, repeat business represented about half of the customer pipeline. SOURCE: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® →
05 DO YOU WANT REPEATABLE SYSTEMS IN YOUR BUSINESS?

Do you want repeatable ways to generate opportunities, follow up, serve clients, market yourself and track results instead of continually starting over?

YES means: You want processes that can be repeated, measured and improved over time.
NO means: You prefer to approach each month, lead or transaction without consistent business processes.
EXAMPLE: Instead of asking every Monday, “What should I do for business this week?” you have defined activities, follow-up processes and a way to measure whether they are working.
WHY WE ASK: Current SCORE guidance identifies repeatable systems as an important part of moving a business from simply surviving toward sustainable and scalable growth. SOURCE: SCORE — MANAGE & GROW → SOURCE: SCORE — MAKING IT REPEATABLE EVERY TIME →
06 DO YOU WANT A BUSINESS THAT CAN ADAPT WHEN THE MARKET CHANGES?

Do you want a business plan that can adjust when interest rates, inventory, consumer behavior, technology or competition changes?

YES means: You want to adjust strategy without rebuilding your entire business every time the market changes.
NO means: You are comfortable with a business that depends heavily on favorable market conditions.
EXAMPLE: If one part of the market slows, you want the ability to identify other commission opportunities, client groups or strategies and redirect your effort.
WHY WE ASK: NAR says experienced REALTORS® have been leaning on referrals, repeat clients and deep market knowledge while navigating one of the industry's more challenging market environments. NAR also describes durable client relationships as part of how REALTORS® are adapting. SOURCE: NAR — 2026 MEMBER PROFILE RELEASE →
07 DO YOU WANT TO RUN YOUR REAL ESTATE CAREER LIKE A BUSINESS?

Do you want to regularly look at your numbers, evaluate your results, question what is not working and change your plan when the evidence says you should?

YES means: You want your decisions to be increasingly based on planning, measurement and actual results.
NO means: You do not want that level of planning, tracking or accountability in your real estate career.
EXAMPLE: If one strategy produces substantially more commission opportunities for the same investment of time and money, you want your future business plan to reflect that.
WHY WE ASK: A business plan is not meant to sit on a shelf. SBA guidance describes it as a roadmap for structuring, running and growing the business, while SCORE emphasizes measuring processes and adjusting what is not working.
