Oh believe you, me there will be a down time

So as a new agent there are times in this profession when you are hot and when your not. When I first started here at Keller Williams I had three clients right off the bat and Im thinking this job is too easy. Well all three clients didn't qualify so now I have to put them on the back burner until their credit clears up 6 months down the road. Since then business has become very stale and believe you, me watching experienced agents in the office getting clients left and right is very hard when your phone isn't ringing. You must keep reminding yourself that all these experienced agents have been in mine/your shoes when they were just starting out as well it wasn't always easy for them either. But what to do when it become so slow? This is the time to stay focused and work on things to help your business grow and if you don't know how then just ask one of those experienced agents. Like I said they were in your shoes once too and know what it takes to break through that ceiling during slow times. Me personally I have found a great resource in twitter and Facebook in meeting people moving to Denver. Sure they may be renting or visiting family but it is those relationship that will blossom into business a year from now. That person you helped find a rental or just suggested areas to live or thing to do in Denver goes a long way. When someone approaches them about knowing an agent you'll be the first name that pops in their head. Even if someone is just visiting tell them great thing to do in your hometown or take them out for a drink. Just because their visit is temporary they are visiting someone who in no doubt one day will be looking for a place to live too. Keep your chin up!
