i just received my notification in the mail that my real estate sales associate application was accepted.I take my state (florida) test next week and feel confident i'll pass, no problem. my problem is that i dont know what direction i should take. i want to work for a owner developer like KB homes but on their website is says "recent residential sales success preferred, however new Licensees with a proven successful sales or customer service background are welcomed" i dont have a strong sales background and my resume won’t have any sales experience highlighted at all. what should i do?
