New Salesperson Looking for General Advice!

[Angela Li]

Hi All,

I finally bit the bullet and took and passed the RE exam this week. So wanted to head to BP and see if I can gather some general feedback on what to do/not to do as a newbie salesperson (though I'm not new to Sales in general, been in big tech sales for the last 10 years). 

Some questions I have are:

1- Does anyone have any recommendations on Brokerage firms to connect with or can refer me? 

2- Is it frowned upon to start off as a "part-time" salesperson in RE or is that generally the norm? 

3- How do you recommend finding your niche and brand?

4- What's your go-to strategy for finding new opportunities?

5- What's your take on focusing on selling vs. buying, if anything?

I would welcome any general advice you guys can offer me. Really appreciated it and really excited to be joining the industry!

Thanks!
