New Agents - Get a Business or Marketing Plan together

If you went into business for yourself and approached a bank for a business loan, your loan officer would want to see two things: 1) your income statement and 2) your business plan. Well, when you go into real estate sales, you are going into business for yourself. But many salespeople have no clear goals or timeline for achieving their goals.

If you don't know where to start, you can copy a sample real estate business plan from Palo Alto Software Inc.'s Business Plan Pro. The company also offers Marketing Plan Pro.
