In this episode, Jamie Knight interviews top Baton Rouge Realtor Richard Spears. Our failures shape our future in this business. Being honest about where we are and what mistakes we've made paves the path to our future success. Conferences, trainings, roll playing, and the constant sharpening of "the knife" have shaped Richard into a top agent. Richard and I actually do a live Roll Play on the call and he shares how and what to say in your phone calls with your friends, family, and past clients. Rich shares his social media strategy that has created an amazing flow of business for him and his team. He emphasizes the critical role of communication in the real estate industry. He shares his personal journey, highlighting the mistakes he made as a new Realtor, particularly his reluctance to engage in conversations and seek learning opportunities. Spears advocates for proactive communication as a key to success in real estate.
