Creating A Business Plan (Part Two)
If you didn’t read Creating A Business Plan (Part One), please do so before reading this blog so you’ll better understand how to build your business plan.

Creating A Business Plan (Part One)
Success is all about realistic expectations, regardless of the industry in which you work. For some reason people enter real estate sales without giving careful thought to their income expectations. I think it is because they see real estate as being a lucrative profession. They see names on “For Sale” signs all over town and equate those signs with success. …
Why List During Holiday Season
Some owners discount the importance of having their property listed during the Holiday Season, especially from Thanksgiving through New Years. For the most part, they are convinced that people don’t buy property during this time because their minds are directed to more important things.

Sales people need to have the ability to communicate with people they have never spoken with before if they wish to become successful. Proper communication requires much practice before you can realign your comfort …
Why Salespeople Should Smile
In my training classes I teach people the importance of smiling and I’m always interested in the facial expressions of my students during my presentation. Much of the time most students will have a blank look on their face; which tells me they don’t believe what I’m saying. When I entered the sales field in 1969, my brother told me …
The Oldest Method for Lead Generation Still Works
If you were to ask a thousand real estate agents, “Do you have enough clients to produce the income you need to reach your goals,” I’m almost positive you would get a big “NO” very quickly, from the vast majority. Before a sale can be made, or a property can be listed, an agent must find someone that is interested …
