BATTLE ROYALE! HARCOURTS GAME OF PHONES

Australia-wide Appraisal Drive

‘Harcourts Game of Phones – Appraisals are Coming’ saw agents, property managers and offices from across Australia compete for the crowning glories of being named ‘Greatest of Call Time’, ‘The Call Star’, or ‘Landlord of the Rings’. Open to all Harcourts, NAI Harcourts and Nutrien Harcourts agents and offices in Australia, Game of Phones attracted large numbers of zealous participants. In a strictly timed period, competitors had to call and confirm as many appraisals as possible. Armed with training tips and scripts, everyone’s phones ran hot as the numbers stacked up. “As well as going to one of our main values – fun and laughter – the training and application of skills learnt goes beyond the ‘Game’ and into the real business of real estate,” said Kingmaker and Australian CEO Adrian Knowles. Harcourts Game of Phones ran over two sessions, with entertainment, and further tips, in between. It was an intense morning, but then, fortified by pizza, competition went up another notch in the afternoon. With live video crosses to Harcourts offices in all areas, competitors were keenly aware of each other’s numbers. The sand in the hourglass trickled as time ran out, and with the curdling cry of ‘Phones down!’, the Game was over. “It was as fun and as high energy as an auction!” laughed co-host Christian Hamilton, Head of Auctions, “and from me, that’s saying something!” Harcourts Game of Phones proved itself to be a most majestic battle! Full of furious fun, a morning of magnificent manic messaging and an afternoon of amazing appraisal articulations. Over 500 brave souls took part in the battle, making approximately 2214 successful appraisal bookings. Each and every one made the kingdom of Harcourts proud.
