Surviving in this industry – let alone thriving – isn’t easy.
But it always helps when you can learn from those who’ve gone before you.
Huntington Beach, CA agent Gantry Wilson was the first person to join Tom Ferry coaching when I started this company many years ago. (Fun fact: He’s also the only person named “Gantry” in NAR’s entire roster!)
Since that time, he’s been through all the cycles of this industry. He’s experienced extreme highs and low lows, and now he’s finishing his best year ever! On today’s podcast, he discusses both sides of that equation openly and honestly. He also shares tons of great advice for agents at any stage of their career. And in return, I have a few “carefrontational” bits of advice for him and actions I see he could be taking.
If you want some great tips for your business – AND you want to see the kind of real, give-and-take relationship that can be formed through coaching – you won’t want to miss today’s podcast. I know you’ll relate to Gantry’s journey and learn from his success.
