Musings of a newbie

By
Title Insurance with True Title Company

So, I'm about a week shy of having my license for a month.  I've learned so much in the last three weeks.  KW is big on training -- I've been through Camp 4:4:3, and Internet Lead Generation class, a business planning session for 2009 and now I'm in a scripts and dialogue class. 

My goals for this upcoming month are to get my first client - preferably a listing.  I've got a super neat system to keep my expired list orgainzed and I'm ready to call my expireds - as soon as I cross reference their numbers against the DNC list.

Would love to hear from other newbies to see how things are going for them.
