The broker/agent with the most appointments wins. To have appointments, you need to set appointments. To set appointments, you need to call people, see people, be social. When you call people and have contact with people, ask to meet up with them! (You know...coffee, to say hi, a quick stop by the house to say hello.) They will ask you about real estate. People can't help it. 

It's better to have a mediocre appointment than no appointment. Go on appointments. 3+ per week. You will sell plenty during the winter if you do this. I love winter. Winter is the best the best time to sell houses. There's no competition with summer activities. People who are selling and buying during the winter are serious.
