– “Docusign was like the biggest change I’ve seen in this industry. It has been amazing for our business.”
– “I had always been «the helper». I had been the co-agent, I had been the PA… So to be able to step into the role of being a leader, I really had to let go.”
– “Maybe some of the other agents don’t incentivize their team as much as what I would. What’s the point of staying if there’s nothing in it for them?”
– “I had to stop comparing myself to how the top male agents in my area do things. I can’t replicate what they do because it just doesn’t suit me.”
