The Success Formula
Meet 2 by owners every 30 days = 24 year
50% don't work out for one of many reasons; this leaves 12 you eventually make a presentation to.
Of the 12 remaining, convert 60% - which is 7 of the 12.
Of the 7, six close. Let's even plan for one falling through; it can happen.
$250,000 x 3% = $7500
$7500 x 6 = $45,000 Gross Commission Income (GCI) (This is one stream of income) This is in addition of your other streams of income.
