New to Sales

Hello Everyone,

My name is Peter. I am a new member, as well as a rookie to the sales career. I has been a cost accountant for six years. I recently passed the California Real Estate Exam and the California Life Insurance Agent Exam.

I do not know anything about sales. I am hoping I can gain some knowledge and motivation from here.

With that said, where do I start? how do I start?

Thank you very much for all your suggestions and advices.

Bests,

Hi Peter. Welcome to the community.

Welcome Peter, Has the real estate market over in Cali. started to turn around yet?

Mr. Cesario,

It depends on which locations you are referring to. However, as a whole, the real estate market in California has not turn around yet. There are still too much inventory. But, you will never know when it will pick up. It could be at the bottom right now.

However, if you want to purchase a home to live in, anytime is a good time.

Hi Peter
Congrats on getting into the wonderful world of sales! The most important component in sales is prospecting. 80% of new salespeople fail in their first year from insufficient prospecting activity. Have you started prospecting yet?

First you need to set your goals. You need to know what you want to accomplish, and more importantly, why you want it.

Next you need to determine who is your target market. Once you determine your target market, you should place your energy on prospecting.

Have fun- change peoples' lives! Welcome!

I met a gal locally five years ago who was beginning a career in real estate. What she did was to attach herself to someone in her company who was very successful - she took him on as her mentor and he took her on as his student.

Become a student of your business. Learn how to listen and ask questions.

It's easy to speak in cliches we all use and not say much of any substance. Why are you doing what you're doing and what do you want out of it? What's important to you and what makes you think real estate will provide that?

Ask yourself a lot of questions - that's where I usually start.

The best to you Peter and welcome here.
