ABC - Always Be Closing!

By
Real Estate Agent with Ambrose Realty Management LLC SA634540000

When I first got into real estate it was tough to find business.  I tried using the lead program that my broker had, but it frustrated me because the leads were tough and when they did close, the broker took a big piece of the pie.  Over time, I have been able to develop a nice internet presence and been able to rely a little more on referrals.  When I would struggle, I would always think about the movie Glengarry Glen Ross and the scene where Alec Baldwin conducted a sales meeting.  I try to run my business with the simple motto of ABC - Always Be Closing!

Great comments, thanks!  Tim Lorenz, how do you see your job being a bit different?  I hope you didn't mistake my post for being that I am only about money and closing deals.  My attitude is nothing like that, I always put client's interest first and if I do that, everything else works out for me to ABC!!!

I agree Marianne, my tactics don't resemble this movie at all either, I just really enjoyed that scene!
