100 Days to Greatness® Program Helps Agents Boost Business

Sherry-PicWhen I assumed Davidson Realty’s sales management responsibilities earlier this month, it was one of my goals to provide ongoing training and professional development opportunities to our Agents. After more than 20 years in the real estate business, I’ve certainly seen my share of lead generation, training, networking and other real estate programs. But never have I seen a program as effective as Buffini & Company’s 100 Days to Greatness® program.  It’s designed to help both new and seasoned agents jump-start their business and I’m thrilled that Davidson Realty is offering it to our Agents.  The 100 Days to Greatness® program teaches the fundamentals of real estate lead generation by referral, helping Agents produce a steady stream of high-quality leads and referrals. 

I became a Buffini & Company Certified Mentor™ following an intensive two-day training and serve as the group Facilitator. The 100 Days to Greatness® program is a 14-week, step-by-step training course that combines training from industry expert Brian Buffini, video role-playing, exercises and live accountability sessions – creating a comprehensive, practical learning experience. Our Davidson Realty “students” learn how to build and maximize relationships in order to cultivate advocates for life and accelerate their business. We already have several Agents enrolled, but my hope is for ALL our Davidson Realty Agents to participate.  Please join us for the next class on July 26th.  Give me a call to register, or learn more about the program.  I look forward to seeing you there!

DSCN0205Karen Palmer and I just returned from Atlanta, GA (my hometown) where we attended the Buffini & Company Turning Point Retreat. Brian Buffini is always a dynamic and entertaining speaker but he was very passionate about his message in this presentation.

Brian began the morning by discussing perspective. The economy and the real estate market are cyclical but when we are in a downturn like we have been for quite some time, it feels like it will last forever. We went through the history of the United States to reinforce that this too shall pass. The real estate market will rebound like it has every time before.

We looked at the National Association of Realtors statistics to understand how many Realtors have left our profession. Many of the Realtors with less experience and knowledge are no longer selling real estate, which only supports the fact that it is in your best interest to work with seasoned real estate professionals.
