Day 30
The big thing today was being given a new patch of land to work on. 650 dwellings in my patch, ranging from run-down apartments up to some utterly massive beachfront homes with multi-million dollar price tags. I spent a bit of time putting the property information together and walking around my streets. The number of competitor's "For Sale" signs was very apparent. I think this will be a good test.
Tip of the Day:
Know your product! Before you go doorknocking or being phoning people, have (at least) a rough idea of what property values are like in the area. Someone is going to ask you about this, and if you can't come up with an answer, your chances of getting a listing or referral out of that person will be severly diminished.
This may mean you have to spend some time researching before you head out and start meeting people, but this time invested will definitely pay off.
