Preparation is key to success in Classical Guitar and Real Estate

I found out last Tuesday that I would be playing my classical guitar on Thursday for a group of ~1,000 people at a conference that I was attending!  Needless to say, that is not much time to prepare.  So, I decide to play "What a Friend We have in Jesus", a hymn arrangement that wasn't too hard, and that I could polish up in a short amount of time.  The piece went well and I wasn't nervous until the last chord!

In Real Estate, being prepared to answer a seller's objections, like, "How much commission do you charge?" or "I want to think about it." is crucial to being successful.  So, my brokers have had some of us agents role-play in our weekly agent meeting.  I am grateful that I have two great brokers here in College Station, TX, that have been giving me the language that I need to answer these objections, so that I am not nervous when a buyer or a seller has a question.

Comfortable under pressure True, true, onceou get on stage you either know what your doing or not. role playing is just practicing. I try and role play with my team and let them watch me so they also see what overcoming objections looks like. You have to feel comfortable to do your job.

As with any skill, the key is practice, practice and more practice.

Jonathan, I see you growing in knowledge in real estate from month to month.  I also enjoyed your concert the other day.
