the best marketing techniques in the industry. It helped
me understand how to put systems in place to better
serve buyers and sellers. It also gave me new tools to
better compete with agents that have many more years
of experience. Recently, it helped me gain listings when
competing with other agents by using techniques to
overcome objections.

15. I did my GRI back in 1982-83 and 84 but it is still
fresh in my memory. It was filled with many
national speakers, great topics of discussion and
a lot of information to hang on to. I was 5 years
into the business in 1982 and found out that I
didn’t know it all.
