Stop Calling Your Sphere... New Agents Listen Up!

Описание: New agents are told to start with their sphere.

Call your friends. Reach out to family. Let everyone know you're in real estate.
But here's the problem: What if you don't feel ready? What if the thought of calling people you know makes your stomach turn because you're still figuring it all out?

Linda Bale, a North Texas agent, remembers that feeling well. And she's got a different approach, one that builds your confidence before you ever pick up the phone to call your sphere.

It's not what most brokers tell new agents to do. But it works.
In this episode Linda shares how she navigated the early days of real estate when imposter syndrome was loud, credibility felt impossible, and the pressure to "just start calling people" felt overwhelming.

Here's what gets unpacked:

-How to build your credibility from scratch
-The harsh truth about buyer expectations (hint: "you can't overcome a down payment")
-How experienced agents can help newer agents grow
