How big of market area do you typically need to have a trainer? Our town is about 65,000 with approx. 350 real estate agents so not sure if we have a big enough area for this. Let me know!
Thanks,
Susan
Dear Susan,
It sounds like your marketplace is a bit too small. The real question is whether you would be willing to commute to a larger town nearby for your training. You don't have to live/work in the market you're training in.
Dear Laurie,
I'm not really sure what you're saying in your comment. If your point is that backbone is more important than training, I would have to say that they are both equally important. You can have all the backbone in the world and if you don't know how to present it properly to the sellers, you'll just come off as stubborn and arrogant. Tact, skill, understanding, good boundaries (or backbone as you call it), knowledge of the market, good self esteem, and more are required to be a great agent - and those are the skills you need AFTER you have the lead. There's a whole host of other skills required to get the leads and then to nurture the past client list. Most people don't have these skills naturally. That's why they need training.
I truly want to check it out Kelle, I'm going to have to wait for a small break to update my resume. I love public speaking, real estate and your book...
