I've been reading this book because I've heard so much positive feedback about it and I'm half way through.

Here are some of the ads I've come up with that make the phones ring!

(Thanks honey, couldn't do it without you!)One day he told me that when I was on the way back from dropping a gift...

I'm in a fun post mood tonight. Let's hear who you've had the opportunity to work with that could be famous or legendary...even infamous would be fine.Here's mine. I sold "Uncle Wilbur's" house. He is a local legend here in Colorado Springs and the sweetest man you'd ever want to meet. There is a...

Hi Everyone!Guess what? I was halfway watching DOG The Bounty Hunter on A&E. (I find that show so wierd that I love it!), and halfway reading in bed.  Anyway, he was in Colorado Springs chasing some guy and my husband says, "Honey, look! There's __________'s flip house on the DOG!" It was in a ve...

Hi Everyone!I'd like to know what the most encouraging thing your broker/peer has said to you! Things that, perhaps, helped you to develop your career or gain new perspective...maybe even break through to another level in your sales. Any comments are appreciated~
