Welcome to BP - it is a really great community and people have been enormously helpful

William Plymouth,you and I are in the same boat.I have been reading every article and watch 100 YouTube videos on marketing myself as a brand new agent.The competition in Southern California is beyond enormous with 1500 new agents added every month and 400,000 already active agents statewide.It really is a race to get to the potential clients first before 50 other runners get to them first.How do I compete with confident,experienced,veteran agents with potentially a hundred sales or more under their well paid belts?

There is an enormous amount of information.
