You are sick! If you are any kind of producing agent, you've no doubt gone out in the field and worked through your issues. It's never any fun to work when you are sick, but somehow it's just not as bad as when I used to work for a company and HAD to show up. Usually it was much easier to call in sick, but once I was in management, it was impossible some of the time to get coverage.
Not so in real estate. We can show up with our medicated noses, cold flu medicine coursing through our veins and a nice supply of tissue in our pocket or car to keep that runny nose at bay. It's much easier to show up with a lot at stake, AKA commission, then risk the chance of your rescheduling with a client only to find they in fact couldn't wait and made an offer without you. Just have that happen one time and see how it makes you feel about not shakin' it off and showing up.
How do you all feel ethically about showing up sick though and showing homes to clients? I for one would take my own car and maybe let them know I have a bit of a cold and need to ride alone while they follow in their car. Any feedback?
