There are plenty of brokers and plenty of ways to do things, you have to find what works for you.In my opinion there are 4 main ways to make it past the 80% + fail out rate:1) Pay huge amounts of money in marketing to pull in leads, buyers and sellers.2) Spend 17 hours (no kidding) a day calling, talking, asking, networking with people to get leads3) Ride the coattails of someone who is the "rainmaker" bringing you clients.
