Sales Agents
• Consider how many you want in your office• Will they be new to the business so that you
will need to train them or will they be experienced (but you still need to let them know how your company operates)?
• Will they be able to have assistants and work in teams?

Sales Agents

profession?– Are they motivated?– Are they detail oriented?– Are they organized?– What is their background and experience– Other questions?

Agent Assistants and Teams
• In the United States the other big trend is agents who have assistants; each one taking care of the sales aspect of the business that best suits their talents with one agent clearly charge

• Even seasoned agents need help to set goals – near and long term
• Goals need to be concrete and specific• Goals need to be shared with the broker

Teamwork

One on one

• Ask the individual what motivates them and help to support them by providing them incentives that mean something to them
