Jo, I really never felt confident about listing presentations and so didn’t pursue listings. Realizing that my business was never going to grow unless I embraced listings, I decided to take Strategic Listing Specialist. Now I totally understand the exact steps to delivering a compelling listing presentation and feel confident that I have differentiated myself from the competition. Thanks so much!
