real estate: Why We Aren’t Meant to be “Droopers”, but “Troopers”
- 08/31/21 09:10 AM
Watching current events can quickly cause us to lose our positivity, but as Power Agents®, we mustn’t get bogged down in the negative, but stay focused on the positive and those elements we CAN control like our thoughts and actions.
As most of you know, I’m an avid news watcher. Every morning, I listen to the news because I believe it’s important to know what’s going on in the world. Now, this may start off sounding negative, but you can’t help seeing what’s happening after 20 years in Afghanistan, and now, in only 90 days, the Taliban have taken over their government, we are still struggling against these pandemic, and other things cropping up every day that … (3 comments)

- 10/04/20 11:00 AM
By Darryl Davis, CSP When I was a kid, my Father had a magnifying glass, and I thought it was a toy. I thought it was the coolest invention ever created, and I loved to play with it. I loved the curved glass and way it enlarged everything more than what else was around it. My father passed away about 20 years ago, but I still have this magnifying glass. I remember seeing my father using that magnifying glass to read the newspaper every day, and it got me thinking. There are a lot of terrible things in the news today … (3 comments)

By Julie Escobar I’ve always been a big fan of visuals when giving presentations and when your goal is to effectively communicate with your client or customers. They lend an extra layer of authority to the conversation, appeal to the both the “listener” in the room and the “visual” person in the room (and if there’s a husband and wife or more than one person who is a decision maker – there’s usually one of each!), and it help you and your ‘audience’ to stay ON TRACK. Working with Expireds is a dynamite … (2 comments)

Make New Friends but Keep the Old! By Julie Escobar, Director of Corporate Marketing, ProspectsPLUS!
