HARRY'S ABC'S OF REAL ESTATE TRAINING TO BE SUCCESSFUL
I have many agents ask me here in the Phoenix, Arizona, market on why I am successful. I am flattered by the question. I just do what I do on a daily basis to make things happen. My grandfather told me, "Son, never refuse work today because it may not be there tomorrow." I live by that motto. I do everything in my power to complete daily tasks that are assigned to me. I consider myself a RAINMAKER.

How many phone calls do you receive on a weekly basis from people trying to sell us something? I honestly receive about four phone calls per week. Where do they obtain our information? Well, they get our information for social media web sites such as ActiveRain and Face-book to name a couple out there. Companies use these web sites for farming purposes. They stick a person making $10 per hour to call people like us to see if we want to purchase X. Do you like receiving these calls? What do … (3 comments)
