Tricks of the Trade (Show) from The Commercial Broker

My good friend and coach Rod Santomassimo very recently published a blog post on The Commercial Broker titled “Tricks of the Trade (Show),” offering nine tips for getting the most out of attending trade shows and conferences.  In paragraph three, Rod reveals:

As my good friend Jim Tucker (CCIM, Richmond, Virginia) has told me again and again, “This is a belly to belly business”.  And in fact it is.  And although I naturally gravitate to Jim whenever we happen to attend the same meeting, I rarely spend time with him and anyone else I know for that matter, at these events.  You see, these trade shows are our best opportunity to “get known” and build future relationships, such as I proudly have with Jim.

Take a look at the rest of the post here you’ll walk away with some great advice on taking these opportunities to initiate as many new relationships as possible.

Jim Tucker, CCIM is going to jail!

UPDATE!

Jim Tucker was released from jail, due to time spent for a great cause.  Check out Jim behind bars!

Jim is making headlines! He has agreed to be “locked up” for the MDA for Jerry’s Kids fundraiser. Please click below to watch a short video about our “jailbird” and to make your generous donation!

Revisiting What Makes A CCIM So Special

Last September, I wrote a post on the CCIM designation, why it matters and why you should care, and how you might understand the importance of the little red and gold pin I wear on my lapel everyday to signify this certification.  On the heals of the CCIM organization unveiling a new logo, I wanted to revisit that post and refresh the significance of the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation.

Why select a CCIM professional? An advisor who holds the Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation is a recognized expert in the disciplines of commercial and investment real estate. The coursework and requirements needed to fulfill the designation are rigorous and aren’t taken lightly. In fact, this designation is so respected, broker allies also pursue the program, including investment counselors, asset managers, appraisers, developers, attorneys and bankers world wide.

Proficiency In Theory And Practice

A CCIM is an invaluable resource to the commercial real estate owner, investor, and user, and is among an elite corps of more than 9,000 professionals who hold the CCIM designation across North America and more than 30 countries. Nearly 9,000 additional professionals are pursuing the CCIM designation. Since the CCIM program was created in 1969, more than 15,000 commercial real estate professionals earned the designation. CCIM Institute has taught more than 225,000 students since 1969.

Recognized for its preeminence within the industry, the CCIM curriculum represents the core knowledge expected of commercial investment practitioners, regardless of the diversity of specializations within the industry. The CCIM curriculum consists of four core courses that incorporate the essential CCIM skill sets: financial analysis, market analysis, user decision analysis, and investment analysis for commercial investment real estate. Additional curriculum requirements may be completed through CCIM elective courses, transfer credit for graduate education or professional recognition, and qualifying non-CCIM education. Following the course work, candidates must submit a portfolio of closed transactions and/or consultations showing a depth of experience in the commercial investment field. After fulfilling these requirements, candidates must successfully complete a comprehensive examination to earn the CCIM designation. This designation process ensures that CCIMs are proficient not only in theory, but also in practice.

CIRE Magazine features Jim Tucker, CCIM

In the latest CIRE (Commercial Investment Real Estate) magazine, coach and trainer Rod Santomassimo, CCIM offers commercial brokers a valuable resource: a plan to take charge of their careers. On pages 36-38, Rod offers insights to CMS and business management systems, marketing strategies and targeting prospects, investing in human capital (in a efficient, effective way) and leveraging your company’s debt and equity.  A point Rod took from my experiences and beliefs was:

A sales plan will consist of a targeted list, an approach to reach that list, and follow-up steps. Do you know who your ideal clients are and how you can secure a list of these ideal clients?  Once you have your list, how are you going to contact them?  Are you going to launch a mail/phone campaign, a phone/email campaign, or use a more personal approach?

Ask Jim Tucker, CCIM, of NetWorksCRE in Richmond, Va., and he will tell you commercial real estate is a “belly-to-belly” business.  He is correct.  Jim has a specific sales plan for reaching his targeted audience.  Jim is not an average broker.  He is the CEO of NetWorksCRE.

Rod Santomassimo, CCIM is president and founder of The Massimo Group, a professional coaching firm focused on commercial real estate, whom I have hired in the past to help me in my own professional goals. Rod can be reached at rod@massimo-group.com or through www.massimo-group.com. CIRE is the magazine of the CCIM Institute, published every other month, and the latest issue is embedded below.
