This morning, Laurie Jarrett wrote a post entitled "What's a Rookie Agent to do?" She has many suggestions as to what a rookie agent ought to do to help jump-start their budding careers... Farming, working expireds, running the gauntlet with FSBOs, and more.
She had many good suggestons, but one of them really caught my eye. She suggests taking a successful agent to lunch... as they 
might open up and be willing to talk a bit about themselves and how they became successful.
As a successful agent, I really like this idea. I mean, times are tough all around, lunches are getting harder and harder to pay for... uh... well.... what I really mean is: This is a great idea to learn about the business from seasoned agents (WELL-seasoned), and to learn a little bit about the ins and outs of the biz. You can find out where all the skeletons are buried, who's slept with whom... uh... I mean, learn how to work a short-sale, the pitfalls of foreclosures, how to handle the hectic schedule of an UPmarket (something I'm sure you're unfamiliar with).
So, I fully embrace Laurie's concept of "Take a Seasoned Agent to Lunch" and get them talking. And you know nothing gets a seasoned agent talking more, than a little lunchtime lubrication. And there's no better lubrication than a Grey Goose martini or two (with multiple Bleu-Cheese olives).
I'm such a giver!
