Defining value: Mark Carter on articulating your unique worth, why you need to invest in people and the importance of the human touch

Educator and author Mark Carter talks about the importance of adding value to all aspects of your business, why you need to define your purpose and why agents need to know their own value.

Value is a foundation of success in all areas of life, however, people often perceive value through their own experiences, beliefs and values.

That’s the opinion of keynote speaker, educator, and author Mark Carter, who has spent 25 years teaching businesses and individuals the importance of adding value to everything they do.

In this episode of the Elevate podcast with Elite Agent Managing Editor, Samantha McLean, Mark reveals what agents and agencies need to do to better add value – and articulate that value for their clients to grow their business.

He also mentions why it’s critical to develop leaders and invest in your people and the importance of having a personalised touch to stand out in a tech-driven world.

Mark also speaks about why you need to know your business’s purpose to attract and retain the best people and how leaders can add value to their team.
