I finally got my license and start my new job Friday!

[Account Closed]

As the title already states, I finally got my license and got hired and start on Friday :)

My broker tells me to not EXPECT to get paid my first year and the average newbie closes about 1 deal their first year, is this true? My commission split is 75 for me and 25 for my mentor for my first 5 deals (after the broker split) is that normal also? And what should I be expecting to do when I first start, I'm super nervous!

Also he already told me about how much to expect to pay in fees and everything, but what about marketing?? What should I expect to pay for that my first year? Also what are some obvious marketing techniques that work for you to help get clients. I have to bring in my own clients and I have no idea how to do that other than some of the "basics" like word of mouth and online/newspaper ads.  Any tips or advice would help thanks so much!
