Get involved to get your real estate business going……
The number 1 way to increase your business……is to be in front of people. Some agents try to do this through geographic farming, standing open houses, door knocking or other prospecting means.
How about a new approach, do something you enjoy doing AND oh by the way you happen to sell real estate. When you work side by side with people, toiling over a common goal or conversing about common interests and you later do business with them, you will find that business to be more meaningful, successful and fun.
When you lead as a salesperson you often loose, when you lead as who you are as a real person, everyone wins. Try these ideas and get involved.
