What You Should Do After Getting Fired

"When you get fired—great. Go find two new listings."

- Dan Rochon

Episode Summary

Getting fired by a client never feels good. It can shake your confidence, make you question your skills, and sometimes even your future in the business. But here’s the truth—every successful real estate agent has been fired at some point. The difference is in how they respond.

When that happens, you have two choices: you can let it crush your momentum, or you can use it as fuel to push forward.

The CPI Rule: What to Do When You Get Fired

A few weeks ago, I got fired. It’s not the first time—and it won’t be the last. But here’s what I’ve trained myself to do every single time it happens.

When you get fired, you don’t complain. You don’t blame the client. You don’t even spend time trying to justify what went wrong.

You say:
“Great. I’m going to go find two new listings.”

That’s the CPI rule.
Not one. Two.

Because when you take fast, intentional action, you shift your focus from loss to opportunity. And that’s what separates the agents who struggle from the ones who thrive.

Why This Works

Think of it like Pavlov’s dog. When the bell rings, the dog salivates. It’s automatic.

When you get fired, that’s your bell.
Your automatic response should be to find two new listings.

This response does more than just keep your pipeline full—it manages your energy. It stops you from spiraling into frustration and instead channels that energy into productive action.

When you do it enough, it becomes second nature. You won’t even think twice about it. It’ll be part of your DNA as a salesperson.

The Mindset Shift

This mindset isn’t about pretending rejection doesn’t hurt—it’s about redefining what rejection means to you.

Getting fired doesn’t mean failure. It means freedom.
Freedom to reset, to refocus, and to find clients who truly align with your values and professionalism.

And once you’ve replaced that lost client with two new ones, it’s no longer a big deal. It’s just part of the process.

When you approach your business this way, you stop chasing validation and start creating results. You’ll move from reaction to rhythm. From panic to purpose.

That’s the foundation of No Broke Months.

Final Thoughts

The next time you get fired, remember this:
Don’t let it sting for long.
Say “thank you,” then go out and find two new listings.

You’ll be amazed how quickly that one setback turns into your next big win.
