Who says that Farming doesn't work??

I know that some of the national trainers in real estate tell agents that farming is a waste of time.  I can tell you as an ex manager at Coldwell banker that I had 2 agents who made over $500K per year ..farming. But,  I guess it was a waster of time.  The problem is that agents don't get it enough effort or enough time.  Once of the simple things you can do is start with what I call your personal farm.  And , before you say you don't have enough names, consider the following to be added to your list

1. Friends
   1. At church
   2. Neighbors
   3. At work
   4. Hobbies
   5. Civic Groups
   6. Relatives
2. Acquaintances
   1. Neighbors

   2. Friends of relatives
   3. Through Kids
      1. Their parents
      2. Teacher

   4. Who do you do business with
      1. Hair
      2. Doctors/dentist
