In many of our learning experiences as REALTORS so much of it is about classroom training or office partner meetings or learning from our affiliate partners. But what about selling and dealing hands on day to day with the public? As independent contractors much of that is on the job training by ourself.
What Do You Think Of Tag Along With REALTOR Day?
Once a month perhaps ONLY with out in the field.
Veterans could partner with newbies, veterans could partner with veterans. I would steer clear of newbies partnering with newbies. Some would say hey this is an income producing business and I can't sacrifice a day of my time to do this. But look at all the OTHER educational things you do. Office meetings, Association of REALTOR meetings. I think the TAG ALONG idea would be eye opening from all sides of techniques that work with clients for others that we are not thinking about. Critiquing each other even in a buddy system.
I know, maybe a radical idea for once a month, and Brokers and team leaders would say we only do that with newbies for the first two months of business, but FIELD training with clients is where the rubber meets the road. Listing appointment, showings, different types of properties. How do you know you don't like selling Farm and Ranch property until you get your boots on and walk in the muck in the horse stall? How do you know Commercial Real Estate is your forte' until you look at that spacious warehouse that will be converted to a gymnasium for a church?
We learn in MANY ways and immersion in the field WITH CLIENTS in real life situations WATCHING OTHERS I would think would be highly educational.
