Great, calming and practical approach during crisis, whether it be a global crisis, or sometimes just one's personal crisis. As a sales trainer, i showed the video, then made my own, relevant to our market, of choices & consequences for buyer & seller, similar to another one of your, Peter's, videos about choices when asked 'should I sell before I buy'. Thanks once again for talking us through it!
I love the narrative! As a technical guy, I can directly relate to the "stepdown transformer" lowering the voltage is critical in protecting the circuit. Thank you.
This is amazing. Being the transformer really is like being a gift. Listening to people and their concerns gives them the space they likely don't have any where else. Usually After they voice their concerns they themselves will walk thru and out of them. And just by talking about them will make them disapear.
Great video and advice. Would you be willing to do a video roll playing what a call like this would look like? It would really help to see an example that we can work from. Thanks for all you do to help us on the Ninja Path!
Peter, I think this is excellent advice. I'm getting on the phone tomorrow and all week I'm just going to call my clients and ask them how they are doing and how I can support them through this time.
Thank you for being a calm voice of reason...I am finding myself so agitated at this moment and I appreciate the reminder to just listen and provide choices and consequences.
Thank you and well done! I have been getting a little upset with whats going on. The panicking, hoarding toilet paper etc. Thanks for putting it all in perspective. I will make the calls today. "How are you feeling? and most importantly LISTEN!
Thanks Peter- that is a great message on how we can appropriately respond- kindness, compassion and listening for the win! It is important in times like this especially to detach from the outcome.
Thank you for reminding us about the basics of the Ninja way. Reaching out to people and listening now more than ever is the best recipe to help build trust! Reaching out when times are tough and not just when you've got a "deal" going is showing that we really care about others.
This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I have had buyers and sellers cancel or limit showing times either out of fear or necessity as more and more people are being asked to work from home. Calling to check in on everyone will help eliminate fear and be a calming force to many. Be safe and healthy everyone.
I thank you for your thoughts and words during this time. You are spot on. The outcome is the crucial point. I am able to let that go, because I have other sources of income. Honestly, if I did not it would possibly be difficult, but either way it is so necessary to let go as I believe the flow will only come from letting go of the outcome.
Thanks for the great advice Peter. I did the listen and choices with a buyer today who was thinking about terminating. Confidence is back and we are closing on Wednesday. My new tag line "Spread ALOHA🌺...not Corona"
Good advice. People are fearful and don't want advice regarding a pandemic from a Real Estate Professional. Go out and do some good while you have some extra time, that is another way to help your community when they are feeling down and out!
Well said Peter. This is the right/best time for us to listen and not inflame. Our clients are already concerned - we can be a calm voice in the moment. As you said, "This too shall pass".
Very sound advice. It seems all emotions truly fall under one of two categories. Love or Fear and it's a great time to keep our love light on and listen to those in fear. Stay calm and Ninja on.
This is a great opportunity to reach out to all our family, friends, clients and business associates. We have time to contribute and be a go giver with an open ear and just listen!
Wow, a sane voice in a sea of panic. I will do my very best to follow your advice. I'm a "fixer" so this so goes against my instincts. I know it's right so this will be practice in self-control for me. Thank you.
Love this video and it's such good advice. With so much uncertainty, our clients, friends and colleagues often just want to be "heard" and know that someone cares.
I would agree with you that Calm and Listen is important right now. Also liked your point that everyone views risk different. I appreciate you putting out this message and plan to share it through my company.
Top of my to do list today is to contact my older current/past clients and see if there is anything they need - food, drugs etc - that I can pick up for them
I was out with buyers this weekend and I was not alone at all. In one open house there was 5 agents and their buyers. They must of had 12 showings. I know they received 3 offers and it was 1 day old. When I showed homes I sent the message my clients and I would have gloves on, I also put them in the basket at my listing. I just showed everyone we were taking precaution.
Great advice.
Great advice. thank you Peter!
Great reminder - listen...everyone needs/wants to be heard.
Great advice
Thank you for the challenge to be a listener. Being a great listener is a the gift I give.

Reaching out, listening and helping in any way possible is the best thing at this trying time. That gains trust .

Great advise Peter. Thank you for your time. I hope it passes quickly.
Very good advice as always- thank you!
Such great advice! We truly can make a difference in our industry and with our clients. The Ninja way is truly the best and most compassionate way.
My best Take Away - Don't give advice on the future....Just LISTEN!! Thanks Peter and the rest of your Ninja's

Thanks for the video! It is the perfect time to call and check in with people.
A good reminder . We always have to listen
We all claim to be good listeners, but in reality, we just talk too much! Right!!
Thank You Peter! Without a doubt it all starts with us remaining Calm and keeping our mindset strong.
Thank you for this timely video.
Great advice. I will be calling everyone I know and see if there is anything they need. Why not? Thank you.
This was very helpful reminding me to listen and be present. Thank you
Thank you, I have already put this plan of action in place last week. Thanks for the reinforcement!
Thank you for this timely advice. I was looking for a "Trusted Advisor" and you certainly came thru!
This is a terrific message! Great advice!
Great content. Plain & simple practical advice from Ninja Selling!
Good commentary. Sound advice.
I love the "Just listen with no opinion" and "Educate, don't alarm." We tend to like to talk. :)
Hey Sherri. I heard Educate, don't alarm recently and it really resonated with the Ninja Philosophy. So glad it connected with you too.
Great talk. Good to hear before you talk to your flock. Thank You. Just what I needed to hear.
The best advice is to detach from the outcome. Thank you, Peter Parnegg, your messages are always so calm.
That is great advice!
Excellent Video-Perfect Timing.
Thank you, Larry. Great, advise and good reminders.
Thank you for your calming words during this difficult time. Vivien Sharon, Toronto
Pretty wild. How are things in Toronto?
This is amazing. Being the transformer really is like being a gift. Listening to people and their concerns gives them the space they likely don't have any where else. Usually After they voice their concerns they themselves will walk thru and out of them. And just by talking about them will make them disapear.
You hit it right on the head!
Keep calm and take a deep breath. Listening is one of our greatest assests.
Strongly agree with everything said. That's for the video today.
Like a glider pilot, as gravity pulls our plane to the ground, be a good pilot and make a smooth landing.
Trusted listener is the best advice -thank you for always bringing up the "AhhA moment" for us Ninjas -great reminders
Great video and advice. Would you be willing to do a video roll playing what a call like this would look like? It would really help to see an example that we can work from. Thanks for all you do to help us on the Ninja Path!
Awesome advice 💪🏼🏡
As always sound advice. Thanks for posting.
Andrew thanks for commenting. You will get a new thought in about 5 minutes. Let me know what you think!
Great thought- be present and be a great listener with no spin
The best take away is so simple- "This too shall pass".
Great Video Peter!
Wonderful Insight!
Peter, I think this is excellent advice. I'm getting on the phone tomorrow and all week I'm just going to call my clients and ask them how they are doing and how I can support them through this time.
Great reminder to be a calming influence in the midst of the storm . . . and to just be a good listener. Thanks!
