sales attitude: Do You Have the Sale Attitude of There’s Nothing Holding Me Back? - 09/29/20 10:10 AM
 
Recently I heard a song entitled “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.” The title struck a chord within me especially during this COVID situation.
 
Here in AZ real estate is designated as an essential business. Realtors in many other states did not receive that designation.
 
Regardless of the designation or lack thereof, now is the time to reinforce your sales attitudes of “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back.” Through Zoom and other technologies, we can still gather together and continue to do business.

sales attitude: A Must Attitude if You Wish to Increase Sales - 04/28/20 05:58 AM
Funny thing about sales, sometimes it is the simplest attitudes that increase sales. One must sales attitude I have discovered is “time is of the essence.”

sales attitude: Weekend Wisdom Time to Boost Your Sales Attitude - 04/03/20 02:37 PM
Well, the first quarter for 2020 is now history. I just ran my sales numbers and no I didn’t meet my sales goal. What I did meet was not having any expired, rejected or cancelled offers. The previous year I had 5 of those time wasters in the first quarter. My second quarter had even more offers that never made it to escrow.
 
However, what I currently have in my sales pipeline could potentially take care of the shortages for the first quarter and could probably meet my entire second quarter sales goal by the end of this month. I then shared … (3 comments)
