After reading a post written by Conrad Allen regarding providing help for competing agents, I thought I'd share my opinion. We are certainly in one of the most competitive professions. It's survival of the fittest in the real estate business!!
Why would an agent want to help a newbie get off the blocks? Many agents do not share information. Their mentality is that if fewer know how to do the task, the competition will be less intense. They may have a point.
However, sharing and guiding others, in my opinion, is a non-threatening provision. If one is secure with how he/she does business, there is no threat. Everyone works differently, and with each lesson, there will be a new style that emerges. I'd rather work with a newbie who knows what he/she is doing rather than become the recipient of poor business practice by the newbie. Sharing of knowledge helps everyone in the profession.
We each have our own way of communicating. Two people might have the same message, but the style and method of relaying that message will be totally different for each of them. The next thought might reference the newbie doing it better than the teacher!!
My response to that is let's be encouraged that the newbie would want to share his/her method of thinking!! That's how we learn, and even the most experienced agents can learn, can't they???
