We also spend a lot of time working the numbers – if you meet “x” amount of people, you should generate “y” amount of actual closings.

The number one word in real estate is “next!” Otherwise you'll dwell too long on the “what ifs” and “whys” on something you may have had zero control over.

yes of course
A good broker is a broker who knows what the client's wishes. but in others it sometimes complacent broker and client's can break up without the slightest notice.

if I became a client's I want the best for me

But parting ways can actually make you realize how much energy that client was sucking out of you… and spring you to become much more productive.

Agreed. Getting fired in itself inherently good or bad — it can be either one… or both!

@Mike,

I have been fired and done firing many times — and when you say “it is never fun”, that has been my experience as well… right up until the actual event! After the event (or non event) my experience has been that hindsight almost always told me that the good that came out of it far outweighed the bad.

@Bruce,

I 100% agree with your “thick skin” idea.

@gdallaire

Good point — it is an art to end a relationship… business or otherwise.

@robertworthington

Good point! I hadn't thought of it that way… thanks for pointing that out.

I have a cancellation agreement policy that works both ways if I at anytime feeling like firing them I can same with them it's only fair

It's an art to end the relationship before it becomes a real problem.
