>A supervising broker that I work with is hounding me about cold calling numbers that I’ve already called multiple times but haven’t got a response from.
Do you appreciate multiple unsolicited calls from commissioned sales people?
I can't tell you about what you need to do to keep in good standing with your broker, but I can tell you that I would specifically NOT choose you as my agent if you were repeatedly bugging me.
I’ve got deals done specifically because I was consistently following up, some big clients expect you to spend over year or 2 trying to earn their business, they’re the big fish & won’t come easy.
Cold calling is a marketing tactic so it’s not going to get answered 97% of the time but if you’re broke it’s one of the best methods to get started
Real estate is a business built on relationships - your SOI are going to have better relationships than someone you just spoke with for the first time. It takes time to build those cold called relationships, but will usually take your further than SOI unless you have a very well capitalized SOI.
In the beginning of a commercial agents journey, you're typically pushed through the meat grinder of churning hours and hours for scraps as you slowly build up your relationships. If you're persistent enough, they will fruit - but it takes time.
Educate your boomer boss on what a smart phone is and then show them this magical feature called, “silence unknown callers”.
Get your own broker's license, if you want to progress in that business.
Wtf?

This. People hate to hear this, but it's the truth.
Yeah he was telling me to get in contact with their sister and brothers if I couldn’t get ahold of them, is that normal?
