Persistence...

What is the one skill that a Realtor needs in order to be successful. That's a tough question. The ONE skill. There are so many skills Associates need to be successful. We have to have good presentation skills, marketing skills, negotiating skills, objection handling skills, technology skills. All those skills pale in contrast to this one: PERSISTENCE
It is the one skill that will make up for our deficiencies in all the other areas. It will allow us to win in life no matter what obstacles that are placed in front of us.
Calvin Coolidge, our 30th president said it very well. "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Geniuses will not; un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts, Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
