Thriving Clients

It’s beneficial talking through situations with Rich Rudnick and getting new ways of looking at them. Sometimes it can be a challenge to sort out what to do next. Rich is comfortable to work with and the process helps to clarify what matters most and keep those items in the forefront. Also, the DISC information has been helpful and greatly appreciated. I work too hard every day to not make meaningful progress and since working with Rich my net profit is up. Professional athletes have coaches. If you want to perform at your max potential or beyond, you need to have a coach!

Pat has been in coaching since 2015. Previously Pat was Executive Officer for an air traffic control center – (upper Midwest) and was on duty when 9/11 happened. Pat had authority over hundreds of Controllers and has transferred his leadership experience and knowledge of solving complex and stressful problems into a logical, methodical approach. In six years, he has built a Real Estate empire closing 161 transactions with over 50 million in volume and market domination. He has surrounded himself with producing agents, mentoring them for success and creating opportunities by making it rain. He boils success down to two simple things: listening to people and solving their problems.

“Rich Rudnick is like my Wednesday morning cup of coffee. He helps me wake up and take charge of the day! I have a plan of action for each day. I'm more organized and keep track of leads more easily. I always had a hard time deciphering who was a legitimate client. But I've now learned how to weed out the leads who are not willing or able to purchase. Seeing other people's success stories was the reason I started coaching with Rich and after 1 year of working with Rich my sales increased 8-fold. If you’re ‘on-the-fence’ about whether to start coaching, I say, jump over the fence and run to start coaching! There is absolutely nothing to lose and even if you just make 1 additional sale a year, it will cover the cost of working with Rich.”

“I was lost before getting into coaching with Rich Rudnick. I knew I needed a coach right when I started my business, and it was nonnegotiable. Before having Rich, I had another coach which was not my match, but Rich gives me structure not only in my business but also how to prioritize my personal life. It has been most beneficial knowing my numbers and Rich constantly pushing me and believing in me and that I can get it done! I love Rich and I see him ‘like my family.’ Besides being my coach, I know that Rich actually cares for me in all aspects of my life. I feel like I've known him forever! He genuinely cares for you, wants you to grow and there is no piece of envy or anything. He will push you if you let him. He is the BEST! Write down your goals, follow them and act as if they’ve already happened. If you put your mind into it, it will happen! Every year my business has grown statistically, and this is thanks to Rich, because we break down all the numbers and have a plan on how to get to the goal! Stop wasting your time and money and making excuses and get Rich as your coach if you are ready to jump to the greener side!”

“Rich Rudnick has helped me the most with consistency. He helps me stay accountable with my tasks and goals. I lacked confidence in dialing out and putting myself out there. Through coaching with Rich, I have gained confidence and can now make that outbound call without feeling like I don't know what I’m doing. I also lacked discipline, which Rich has helped me improve tremendously. Self-discipline is hard but having to check in with him on a weekly basis helped me not only stay consistent but to have those daily disciplines to succeed. Rich is more than just a business coach. It's like having that mentor who you can go to not only for work advice and knowledge but for personal and spiritual advice and help as well. Rich has also taught me to be more selective with the prospects I work with and how to say ‘no’ when necessary. I have increased my sales, conversions, and income every year since I started coaching with Rich. My sales goal this year (my 3rd year in RE) is 220K. My first year it was 85K. If you are on the fence about whether to coach or not, I say, do it… Knowledge, Discipline, Accountability; it’s beyond worth it! I took 6 months off from coaching the first part of my second year of real estate and I didn't hit any of my goals those two quarters. I realized the impact coaching had on me and how I didn't hit my goals and that pushed me to go back. I believe this wholeheartedly and I haven't skipped coaching since.”

“Rich Rudnick has been a champion for me, always believing in my abilities and the best in me. He's constantly been cheering me on throughout the past 12+ years and is very knowledgeable about business strategies regardless of what the market is doing. I was searching for balance in my life, as it was a huge struggle for me, and that's what really pushed me to try coaching with Rich. My Business has increased a great deal since I've started coaching and has taken me in directions I never have even dreamed. Rich is an accountability figure in my business, yet he is easy to work with, always remaining positive, even when I don't keep up with my end of the bargain. Rich is a Christian, which was, and is very important to me, not only with my personal walk with the Lord, but also it helps bring out the best in me in my personal life, as well as my business. I have been in sales my whole life, and have learned many things prior to coaching, and after I started. For me, coaching has helped me remain on track, and mindful of the many things I've learned over the years but forget to use and implement from time to time. Anyone considering whether to have a coach should just do it. It is important for each of us to have accountability and balance in our lives. Rich is very good in these areas, and it's been very valuable for me. “

"I started coaching with Rich Rudnick when I was a new agent doing $4 million in transaction volume per year. The largest challenge that he helped me overcome was leaving my other career and “burning the ships” to jump into Real Estate full-time. What a move that was! 0-25 Million in 4 years! Getting to this production level in a short amount of time is a very rare feat and I attribute a lot of that success to coaching. The most helpful part of coaching with Rich has been the career visioning element of the business. He has been there to help me think through hires, massive growth, growing pains, and more. He helps me think like a business owner rather than a Realtor. Rich is great. He asks challenging questions that help uncover who you are as a Realtor, a business owner, and as a person. It is evident that he is full of wisdom and it’s great getting to talk with someone who has “been there and done that.” I learned in my personality profile that I tend to “make the sale” and then “buy it back” by continuing to talk after making the sale. I became very cognizant of this when scripting with Rich on my unique value proposition one day. As I was rambling on, he said “Stop talking. You’ve already made the sale. Don’t say another word until the other person responds.” The next listing appointment I went on, I won. I have gotten much better in the sales process from learning my strengths and weaknesses, thanks to coaching. Rich was there beside me to talk about the benefits of coaching and was never pushy about me committing to coaching. He let me make the realization that I needed coaching to take off in my business. Make the jump. Invest in yourself and your business. Rookies think about expenses, experts think about profits. I can guarantee you that your bottom line will increase from coaching."

“Thank you so much for your time last week. This was a very powerful session that I felt helped me both professionally and personally, which, I feel is typically a rarity in workplace trainings. You have a gift for leading a room, and a gift of communicating and identifying personality types. This is an incredible strength. This is encouraging to see someone utilizing their God-given talents to better the people around them. I just finished my recap meeting with our sales team. It was wonderful to hear their feedback and take-aways from the meeting. This allowed us time to be vocal with each other on how we best like to be communicated with. All of us felt better understood and more appreciated after this call.”

Thank you, Rich for coming and working with our team in October of 2021. I received positive feedback from staff, especially Public Health, on your presentation and coaching program. Discovering our similarities and differences was a great step to strategizing smart solutions toward our mission to Strengthen, Support and Serve. Again, thank you for your time. It was a pleasure to work with you and your assistant, Brenda. We look forward to planning our next steps for positive reinforcement in our organization.

Rich Rudnick has helped me pull the team closer by understanding everyone of my team members, including myself, our strengths and weaknesses, setting high expectations with timelines, getting the team to support the agenda I have set while holding them accountable and reporting up. I’m learning to keep emotions out, confront challenges with positive results, set expectations with timelines and have my team report up. We have been able to develop a culture where the entire team is working towards the same goal holding each other accountable and openly discussing successes and challenges in a supportive way that builds a strong team environment. Hiring the right people that match our culture has brought a higher standard of employee, which has outperformed prior sales associates by 2X or greater. We now have increased productivity and success rate closing new accounts. Developing a culture is easy. Having a culture is a project. You know you are doing the right thing when your team interacts and you are not the only one setting expectation and asking what’s next.
