Today’s topic is based mostly around a listener question, that Joe will answer. The whole idea is to continue the conversation after meeting someone for the first time.

The only time he’ll get into specifics about his business when first meeting someone new, is if they are asking about it.

Nancy started a brokerage at a very strange time, in 2008 right before the market shifted. Luckily for her and her team, she had a great niche and system already in place, which made it easy to expand to a new niche when the shift occurred. Nancy says one of the most important things for her brokerage to stay successful is staying top of mind with her clients, even after their transaction is completed.
