Ramp Up, Don’t Wind Down: How to Win Q4 and Own Q1
Most agents take their foot off the gas in Q4 — telling themselves the market’s slowing down, buyers are distracted, and “it’ll all pick up again in January.”
But the truth?
The agents who win in Q1 are the ones who ramp up when everyone else winds down.
In this episode, James and Jack share the exact mindset, systems, and daily actions that separate average agents from elite ones as the year draws to a close. From smart marketing spend to building your January pipeline now, this is your blueprint for turning the quietest quarter into your biggest opportunity.
🎯 You’ll learn how to:
- Keep your pipeline full through the festive season
- Turn “slow months” into strategic setup time
- Build unstoppable momentum heading into the new year
Whether you’re closing out your first year as a self-employed agent or chasing your best one yet, this episode will light the fire you need to finish strong — and start even stronger.
