Expressway to excellence: Taney Jain on conquering challenges, dialing into prospecting prowess, and mastering the art of leadership

Taney Jain didn’t stumble upon success, he meticulously engineered it.

Four months into his journey as the head of McGrath Estate Agents Werribee, Taney joins Samantha McLean on the Elevate podcast to share his path to business ownership.

Taney reveals how he turned a health crisis into an empire-building wake-up call, why he struck out on his own, and the sales strategies that saw him win the REIA and REIV top sales agents awards.

He also lets listeners in on why he and his team make 1000 calls a week, the battle-tested scripts that make prospecting, including cold-calling and door-knocking, not just simpler but highly effective, and he shares sage advice from industry titans like John McGrath and Tom Panos.

Taney tells Samantha about his approach to building his personal brand, becoming a household name in real estate, and why you can’t build a business, or a legacy, without a strong team around you.

But it’s not all business; Taney also delves into how spirituality guides his life and work, revealing why it’s important to be a good human and how gratitude fuels his drive.

“I never look at the competition. I never see what my competition is doing. I never see who is working in which real estate… I never look at other agents’ listings and who listed what… You need to have it in your mindset that you are the competition. That’s it. Nobody else is the competition.” – Taney Jain
