Branding and Networking tips when Starting out!

[Shannon Webb]

Hi!! I've been a member of bigger pockets for a while now and I have finished my Construction Project Management courses and am scheduling to take my Real Estate exam in January..... As much as I feel prepared to jump right in to the field with buying and selling, I want to make sure that I am branding myself in the right manner. My biggest question would be whether or not to project myself as someone who is new to the game (which I am) or as someone who is particularly knowledgeable (which I'm striving to be)? I want to be honest and true to myself, but in a field that is so competitive especially in a city like Atlanta, I don't want to jump out the wrong way. Also I would like to get to know some networking strategies, like do I just show up to different events??? Lol who invites you anyway??? How exactly do I find myself amongst the right people??? And should I carry my bomb behind business cards now, or should I wait until I test??? So many more questions but I'll start here! Thanks for listening!! ~Shannon, your most eager RE professional!
