Easy Deals Are Dead—Time to Fight for Your Sales with Mie Yamashita
Nick McLean welcomes Mie Yamashita, Head of Productivity at Reside, back to the show to break down why easy deals are dead—and why that’s actually a good thing. They dig into the reason agents struggle: skill gaps that go unchecked. Nick and Mie explain why no one is above sharpening their sword, how daily roleplay should be a non-negotiable, and why even top agents need to drill objections, negotiations, and closings like elite athletes. They also call out the biggest mistake experienced agents make—thinking they’ve “arrived” and no longer need training. If you want to sell more homes, win in a tougher market, and get better every single day, this episode is for you.
