Making Better Decisions: Leaders in Data

Welcome to Making Better Decisions! This week, host Ryan Sullivan sat down with Jeremy Woods, Facility Director & Area General Manager at CBRE! Jeremy shares insights into his career trajectory within the real estate industry, highlighting the significance of data-driven decision-making, primary research, and personalized insights.

Takeaways:
  • Transparency and access to comprehensive data can significantly boost client trust and interest. Prioritize building trust by showing tangible evidence of your expertise.
  • Simplicity in data analysis can reveal low-hanging fruits and offer significant advantages. Train your team to distill complex information into actionable insights.
  • Verify the accuracy of external data sources by comparing them against known quantities. Develop a healthy skepticism of third-party data and focus on building your own reliable datasets.
  • Customize tools and solutions to suit specific market needs instead of relying on general, outsourced solutions. Adopt a 'driver's seat' approach to navigating industry landscapes.
  • Minimize information asymmetry by being transparent and educational in your dealings. For leaders, being a broker of relevant and accurate information can solidify relationships and build trust.
  • Cultivate personal passion projects to balance professional life. Jeremy's investment in a garage condominium demonstrates the value of having a personal retreat to foster creativity and relaxation.
  • Emphasize the importance of personal branding and how unique hobbies or interests (like Jeremy's love for garage space customization) can reflect and enhance professional identity.

  • “I wish people would know that there’s some really cool stuff on the other end of gathering data.” - Jeremy Woods
