Where’s my paycheck? That’s what so many agents say after running around all weekend trying to get their business moving forward, only to come up empty handed. What’s the problem?

Guess what? The actions you take either lead you to profit or peril.
So, when you’re frustrated and ready to hang up your lockbox key, thinking you just can’t possibly do it all, we’re here to tell you that you CAN!
