Help Me Save My Career

[Kareem Lyons]

Hi 

I know I post a lot on these forums but I really want to gain as much knowledge as possible. I have been in real estate for about 6 months now and have yet to make any real money. I have trouble figuring out what I should be doing on a daily bases as I found myself just sitting at a computer all day. Now I know must people will say '' Lead Generate '' and I understand that. 

Most of my leads come from passive sources like a bus ad , zillow , etc . I want to know what I should Actively be doing on a daily bases. My broker actually gives me probs because I get the most leads out of all new agents in the office , But these Leads arn't making $ as they are low quality.

I wake up in the morning and just wait for a random low quality lead to call me. My day is usually structured like listed below. 

1. wake up look at emails 

2. do stuff on social media 

3. service leads/cleints I have now 

4. lead generate which I don't know how to efficiently do so I just end up watching training videos.

5. repeat steps.

Now I have no issues with getting my hands dirty. Over the past month or so I have passed out hand written letters in the amount of 200-300. Passing out these letters have resulted in one contact that I lost track off , being chased by dogs , yelled out for stepping on someones property , etc. 

I am currently with weichert realtors and I feel like this is a good place for me. I have and good online training program with very insightful content. I have a sales manager and a broker that sell in the $10 million+ range that I can call at anytime and they are very helpful with tips. I know no one can really hold my hand in this business but at the age of 21 I refuse to give up. I am content on being a six figure salary real estate agent no matter the odds.
