Project Title: Empathy & Compassion in Residential Real Estate
Tools used in Development: Canva, Lectora, Vyond, Microsoft Office Sound Recorder
Time in Development: 120 hours
Client: Sotheby’s Atlanta Fine Homes
My role: Instructional Designer and eLearning Developer from concept to completion and final delivery
Executive Summary: This project addressed Sotheby’s Atlanta Fine Homes’ need to decrease new residential real estate agent turnover and to support agents in developing stronger relationships with their clients.
Challenge: 87% of new residential real estate agents fail and leave the business within the first 2 years. Sotheby's Atlanta Fine Homes cites the pressure and work of dealing with stressed-out clients as a contributing factor to this statistic. There existed a need to better support agents in handling the emotional needs of clients, and to equip agents with strategies for utilizing empathy and compassion with clients.
Solution: To address these challenges, I researched and gathered course information from Subject Matter Experts and contributers in the field. To engage the on-the-go agent, I developed an interactive elearning course using Canva, Lectora, Vyond and Microsoft Sound Recorder. I included interactivity, scenario practice, and visual support to keep learners engaged and support the information retention. The course presents 7 key strategies or skills for practicing empathy and compassion, models of each skill in practice, and formative and summative assessments for agents to demonstrate each skill.
Projected Results: Atlanta Fine Homes is investing in its agents' success by empowering them with strategies for utilizing empathy and compassion, ultimately leading to decreased new agent turnover and stronger client relationships.
