LOL. I've been on this forum for almost 5 years, and been involved with various ones since 2001. Experience is a great teacher. LOL

Linden,

I read throught your post and they make a lot of sense. Here
is the problem:

- how many people stick with a diet?

-how many people join a gym and are still
going consistantly after a month or two?

-how many guys are smart enough to
appreciate their wife/girlfriend?

Not one guy on Lucky's thread has really given it a whack with high volume calling.

hey,

that includes me..i struggle to get to 50 contacts a day..
35 average,.. i havent hit 100 hundred contacts.

but do I get to blame Mike Ferry for that?

Nope..I lack discipline..thats not Mike Ferry fault at all...

And if I hire a physical trainer..
They put me on diet...
and I just eat whatever i want...
do i get to blame the personal trainer...?
Its called accountability...
do what the coach, personal trainer or whoever you hired told you what to do...
Mcdonalds has the right idea...
you pay 1 million to join...
and if you dont do every single thing they way they tell you..
in the clause..they can take back the franchise...
you may not get creative
wing it..
make up your own hamburger...
charge whatever you feel like it...
and thats why they are one of the worlds most successful franchises....
its not the fault of anyone who gives you good advice and you decide not to listen..
if you paid for that advice and dont listen..well..

Wow. The goal is to become a real estate agent equivalent of McDonalds? I've never thought of my career in quite those terms.

Wouldn't it just be easier to schedule a lobotomy?

Today's special at the drive-thru: A used Mike Ferry script and a Happy Meal...

navarac I think you hit the nail on the head. Most people do not want to hear a BS line that just want to know you are going to work hard for them and sell their house.

Hey Navarac, and other dude,

I respect you guys opinion...
If you guys were blessed by the real estate gods...
where you just be knowledgable and do a good job...
and all the buyers and sellers just flock to your greatness...well I hope to be there one day with you guys...
for now.. until Im as great as you are
with all the buyers and sellers magically appearing..
I have to do marketing and lead generation..
and since I dont want to figure that all out
I go get help...
Maybe Im just jealous I dont have sellers and buyers magically appearing begging me to do business..
While I sit on the beach..
and navarac, I mean calling any agent who made #1 in the world for remax at age 29 a loser, just seems wrong..I woulda thought that took a massive effort to be applauded..
or as you put..talent?
I think that you will always find the majority of agents and business owners to agree with you... like 80% of agents and business owners feel they dont need any help..that they will figure this out on thier own
they dont need , support, systems or anything..
I wonder though is this correlation to the data..
that 80% of all small business owners fail in the first 5 years?
or that 80% of agents according to NAR..only do about 4 deals a year
or the data from the labor board statistics website that says
over 90% of All Real estate professionals will NEVER earn over 100k a year'
or that 90% Of ALL americans will never earn above 100k a year..
So I presume that 80-90% of all people, will agree with you..

Hey Navarac,
I just noticed...ya know..
debating with you is like debating a for sale by owner
who wants and thinks he can sell his home on his own..
at some point..he doesnt care if you will net him more money
and a faster sale ..with less hassles..
in fact he would rather go into foreclosure
than list with an agent...
he would rather let his family be homeless than list with an agent...
some people would rather die than seek help from a doctor..
and they are ok with it..and I have to learn to be ok with it...
quick story..I grew up poor in the slums of brooklyn..
they dont trust government to the point it hurts..
so they would rather be unsafe, robbed , etc than get help from a cop..
they would rather starve ..literally..to go to a soup kitchen..
I've noticed that mentality..has alot to do with pride and ego.. "I dont Need NO-ONE stinking help"
they are entitled to that.. and so are you...
hey dksrk,

arent you newly licensed?
just a lil advice..
get some help..
or figure it all out or your own..
but usually a map or a gps system can get you somewhere much quicker..

Did my 9am to 11:50am doors this morning.

Knocked on a guys door "Good morning it's Hunter form
Royal lepage Real Estate just dropping by to see if you
had any plans of a move". The guy fumbles and says no but
I could feel he was moving. So instead of then doing Mike
and saying "how long have you lived here?"...... and developed
a conversation as per Mike's plan and probed him in a gentle
manor I started to talk about his front porch which lead me
nowhere.

How long have you lived here?
Why did you chose this are?
If you were to move were would you move to and when would that
be.

Trying to wing it can be a big mistake.

Interesting to hear that arrogant Navareck is a newbie.

no not navarack, the other guy cheering for navarac, says he just got his license in another thread...
i believe navarac, is a grizzled old veteran, an is also an appraiser..so his air of supirior might come from that..
winging it is a massive costly mistake...
same thing with buyers..just ignoring 3 vital questions and I just wasted my time...everytime I dont ask those 3 vital questions i get burned...
1.are you currently working with another agent?are you 100% committed?
2. are you planning on buying a home in the nest 30-90 days?
3. have you spoken to a lender or been approved for a mortgage?

3 simple scripted questions...
whenever i wing it..i get in trouble..or get nowhere at all...

That guy is not Navarac. That person uses a Canon camera with only a 16mm lens. And has a really putrid website, to boot.

I highly doubt Navarac uses anything tighter than 10mm, and he uses a Nikon. I'll bet his website is slick as all get out. I'd love to see it and love to see his pictures.

Unless he is just PRETENDING to use a Nikon and tells us that to throw us off.

Nice try, though, Mr. Columbo. ;0)

Perky,

How do you know which marc, im talking about..lol..;-)
And please do not insult the mighty Navarac,
or risk insulting the real estate gods..
Navarac, doesnt need any websites!!
thats for us mere mortal realtors..
havent you heard the legend..
all his clients just hear how great he is..and the good job he does..and the wonder
of his secret ninja marketing..
and they just flock in droves..and beg him to do business..
legend also has it..
he taught himself to tie his own shoes,
when he was one month old..
and taught himself 5 different languages by the time he was 2 months old..
The mighty Navarac, never has to blog, advertise, prospect, mail or anything...
the clients just hear how great and wonderful..then they just come running..
while the idiot realtors like me must do lead generation,and or prospect for business
or ask for help..from others.or hire a coach or trainer..to help us become better..
just joking of course...:-)
Navarac, we both here in NJ,..can I PAY YOU..to reveal
the ways of the JEDI..
I dont want to actually, prospect, do lead generation, advertise
for new business everyday..I just want to do a good job for my clients..
then sip pina coladas at the jersey shore..while all the buyers and sellers
come to me...lol ;-)

well you might cause that is a godawful website..even worse than my self made blog..lol
but he uses the exact phrases and terms as the almighty one..on trulia voices..
that quick wit, exact phrases..air of superiority..i though was unmistakable..lol

I dunno....I am skeptical. I'd have thunk you were right if the guy used a Nikon, plus his pictures aren't that great. I expect navarac's pics to be awesome. Not that my pics are awesome but I digress.

The guy I think you mean says he is an appraiser, I think I'm pretty certain I know who you mean, and honestly I hope he isn't Navarac...would really deflate my imaginations of him. ;0)
