I am newer agent, been in the business just about 4 months now. I am working with about 8 different clients right now. I learned the hard way that you cannot just sit back and wait for people to come to you. To get started in this job you have to be proactive. Go out there and build your client base. The last month and a half I have been more active about going out and finding clients. In that time I went from 1 to 8. My best advice for new agents is, don't sit back and watch be an active part of the game.

Hey U, I am glad you signed up for AR you'll LOVE it. I gotta tell everybody including you, it's awesome working with you. Starting where you did at KW was one of the BEST things you could have done as I said before to you and I know I been around hahaha.

I see you growing daily in this BIZ and you are catching on so SO quick. At this rate you'll be a capper in NO time. Keep up the good work, and always remember there will always BE curve balls thrown at you but just remember the "Dip!!!" John
