One of Jared’s favorite roles is the role he plays with the members of his virtual coaching program where he gets a chance to train them and hold them accountable to get the most out of themselves and reach the goals that they set for themselves.
Although Jared “cut his teeth” so to say in the real estate industry, his speaking engagements are to audiences from all industries because at his core, he is an entrepreneur. To this day, in addition to running Jared James Enterprises, he still runs and operates other businesses under the radar that keep him sharp and his message more relevant than ever.
Jared James is a sought after Keynote Speaker and trainer who has earned a reputation among many people as the “why guy” due to his understanding of why people do what they do and how to get them to change their behavior.
By the age of 28 Jared was recognized by REALTOR Magazine’s over 2 million readers as their “Web Choice Award” Winner, recognizing their favorite Realtor in the country; was inducted into the International Hall of Fame of the world’s largest real estate company and had written a best-selling book.
Jared’s ability to connect and engage with his audiences has led to his having opportunities to keynote events for some of the largest companies in the world. These organizations include but are not limited to the National Association of Realtors, the Council of Residential Specialists and RE/MAX International.
He has written articles for nationally syndicated magazines and websites such as Personal Development Magazine, REALTOR Magazine and RISMedia and has been recognized by the popular site “Klout” as one of the top 25 most influential people in the real estate industry today.
Narrowing Jared’s talents and interests down can be difficult. He started his first profital business when he was 8 years old, a neighborhood bank and loan. From there, he was hooked, and hasn’t stopped since!
An unfortunate trend that is growing everyday is the gap that exists between the way business was once done and how today’s professionals perceive it should be done. There are two extremes that exist between the more experienced sales person that believes everything can be accomplished with little help from the fad known as technology, and the younger agent that believes technology is the answer to everything. In Bridging the Gap: Combining Yesterday’s Practices with Today’s Trends to Win in THIS Market Jared James breaks down the balance that must take place in order for a synergy of the two ways of thinking to occur. He uses a mixture of humor and real life experiences to prove that to win in this market there is a combination of technology that is needed to operate more efficiently, but only to free you up to do the things that have made sales people successful for the past 30 years. This topic is great for attendees of all ages as it will challenge and inspire the more experienced professional to realize that they don’t need to be a tech guru to operate in the modern age. At the same time Jared has a way of reaching out to and relating with the younger professionals in attendance to consider the possibility that technology is not a relationship manager. Ultimately it is their job to cultivate the relationships that will drive their businesses for years to come.
