INTRODUCTION

State Based Training State based training is member and council driven. Each State Council or Training Committee works in association with National Office administration team to create the Professional Development schedule, based on member requirements and feedback.

Categories SALES The sales training offered by your State Council provides professionals; a roadmap to success with hundreds of valuable tips, tools, ideas and processes presented by top real estate educators who have already proven that the strategies they share actually work.

Today’s competitive marketplace demands more than average responses, it demands knowledge and skills to meet above average challenges.

Success never comes to those who wait! Nothing mirrors your level of success greater than your level of commitment to personal growth through ongoing learning and professional development.

Developing the skills to reach peak performance will only evolve through continual education and training.

To get physically fit, we must train and to stay fit, we must keep training. To master our profession and maintain our skills, we must continue the same process – just as any elite sportsperson will tell you.

If you are serious about mastering your profession and moving to the next level in your career the Sales sessions will help you get there.
