@Wencheur Antoin, additional real estate sales books worth considering/reading, "SOLD" and "SKILL" by David Greene, "Fanatical Prospecting" by Jeb Blount, "Ninja Selling" by Larry Kendall, "Never Split The Difference" by Christopher Voss, "Pitch Anything" by Oren Klaff, and "The One Thing" by Gary Keller.

As you start interviewing you will see that there are vast differences and you will learn from them.

You have a different level of support, have to pay for all of your supplies/marketing, and generally have to figure it out yourself.
