 Today’s Business Tip "Do not confuse activity with accomplishment" While it is true that technology is changing many of the ways we do business I believe it is also  true that most agents spend too much time and energy on technology and not enough time on prospecting. Prospecting remains the most important activity an agent must focus on if they are to be successful.  I know that seems obvious but I am amazed at how many agents have stopped proactively prospecting. Prospecting is not necessarily easy, but it can be simplified and improved with technology. The activity of real prospecting, for a minimum of three hours a day, will produce greater results than any Facebook post, Twitter tweet or Blog message you could ever write.  I am not saying to ignore Social Media but I am saying to ... 09/22/2023
