An Introduction To Becoming A Transaction Coordinator - A FREE 4.5 HOUR WORKSHOP
FIRST & FOREMOST - Know & understand that an Independent TC is NOT a "TC"... They are a SMALL BUSINESS OWNER that provides transaction management as a service. The key point being that they are business owners FIRST, and one of the "hats" that these business owners will typically wear when they get started is that of a TC (transaction coordinator).
So as a small business owner, what are some of the common "hats" that they will need to own when starting their business? Well, this could be broken down in thousand different ways, but here are a few examples...
WARNING: There is NO WAY that a simple blog or post like this could answer all of these questions with the level of depth that they truly deserve. But we are going to do our best to bring real value and provide suggestions that may help you to know how and where to go deeper.
Q: I've seen a number TC's in Facebook groups complain about how little they make per transaction when compared to what their agents are making. Why does this topic seem to come up over and over again? Are TC's "underpaid" or how would you look at this?

Q: So where exactly do I find customers?

Q: How exactly do I learn how to be a TC (remembering that you are NOT a TC - You are a SMALL BUSINESS OWNER that provides transaction management as a service - But we understand that some are specifically ask how to learn the "art" of becoming a freakishly awesome TC that any agent would LOVE to work with)?

Q: My business is growing, and although our business is designed to provide leverage to others, I think I'm either ready or close to being ready to look for some leverage as well. Where can I learn more about working with and hiring a remote partner (a.k.a. virtual assistant or VA)?

Q: I've joined quite a few of the TC based Facebook groups, and I seem to be getting the impression that many of these TC's (small business owners) are working some pretty crazy hours... Um, is that what I should expect for myself & my business as well? Is that what agents are expecting out of a TC that they work with? HELLLLLLLLPPPPP!!

Please do NOT isolate!! SERIOUSLY!! Just DON'T allow yourself to choose to isolate!!
YOUR MENTAL HEALTH & SPIRIT DEPENDS ON IT!!
Q: What do you even mean by that? I don't get it...
A: This certainly won't be true for EVERYONE within our industry, but it's common enough that we just can not end this blog without addressing it.
The fact is that MANY TC's that have been doing this for years, even successfully for years, have lived & worked on a very "isolated island", and they have build & designed their business this way. Maybe not knowingly, but in the end, that is their reality and results. They work by themselves, rarely having any real help or real connections. They work by themselves at home, and they have the ability to truly "hide" behind their systems, tools & email templates. Do NOT allow yourself to move in this direction. Become hyper aware of finding and getting into COMMUNITY. Make and maintain REAL CONNECTIONS where you can both receive and give back support to others. The Independent TC community is very REAL & very ACTIVE!! There are MANY amazing & large TC based Facebook Groups (links to a number of them can be found on the TC101 Toolkit & VWB) and meet-ups that exist. Again, be FREAKISHLY INTENTIONAL about plugging into these, and again be FREAKISHLY INTENTIONAL about building real connections and relationships.
Your mental health matters & will THANK YOU for being FREAKISHLY INTENTIONAL around this!!
