good tips, thanks.

Great tips.... It works a lot the same as when you are trying to attract new SOI/potential clients!  I don't know about everyone else... But most of my clients are friends first!

Ced. That is some great ideas. If we would only do 1/2 of those, we would be successful. Thanks, Royal..

Cedric this is good stuff. I am always looking for real estate agents to recruit. If you know any real estate agents looking to switch,please refer them to me. I just did number 6. This goes for anyone who reads this blog as well,I am always looking for new and experienced real estate agents to recruit. Great post.

Lanre,  I will keep my eyes and ears open.  I'm in several online networks with professionals of various backgrounds.  Some of them confide in me when they are looking to make a change.  

Thank you very much Mr.Reynolds. I appreciate that. I will do the same also if I know of any one who can use your services as well. I am always looking for real estate agents to recruit. Great post.

I'll take you up on these tips. Thanks for sharing.

Good list, Cedric. I do all of these things, and spend a lot of time building professional friendships. This was a down week for me. An agent I've worked with for years confided in me that he was switching companies ... and about 2 months ago came to me for advice. I spent the next 2 months coaching him on how to leave gracefully, and I thought he was coming with me! True, he never said, I"M WITH YOU, but we met several times, emailed profusely, and he said I was the only other person besides his girlfriend who knew he was planning on leaving. I went over my splits/fees and he said he thought we'd work well together. Last time he called me he gave me his quit date, and I told him what I needed from him when we switched him to my firm. He didn't say a word that he was even considering anyone else. The quit date came & went... nothing. I called him twice, no reply. I knew. Today I see he joined a competitor. What a huge disappointment for me. I tried calling to see what was wrong--why he went with them, not me, but he didn't pick up. I'm pretty down about it.

Great List Cedroc.  Eric, that really sucks about coaching that person and never getting them.  Since they didn't return your calls they might have been planning on getting free coaching and never using you in the first place.  People's first motivation is money so do you think they are getting better split at other company?

Erica, so sorry to hear about your disappointment.  Just remember the gentleman who confided in you will reap what he has sown. Also remember you'll be reaping on the good advice you've sown as well.  Believe me things will get better.  Keep your head up my friend.

Thanks for the words of wisdom and the "pick me up" phone call. You made my weekend. I love AR.
