6. Recession 2009 Strategy from spam email
- Keep your cash
- Position yourself for market uptrend when economy is falling
- Start buying
– so what? read any email that you received with open mind and you must analyse it – from whom, always ask the question “so what”
7. A story of Warren Buffet – live simple life, make money not for himself alone (85% of his income go to his foundation), buy and hold forever. Again we always need to ask so what?
8. Cold Calling challenges: many new agents feel uncomfortable to do cold calling. Is there any other ways. For new agents, yes we have to build our clients list. There are many ways doing that besides cold calling:
