Finding Clients...and shots of Tequila?!?

Just when you think you're out of the woods because you are starting a great new career in real estate, you are reminded of the basics: door knocking, cold calling, prospecting yourself to everyone. I have a new and profound feeling for those telemarketers who call the house a bit too early or to late and receive a quick NO and perhaps a hang-up on a bad day.

This is going to be ME. One day soon enough I will sit down to call a person I don't know anything about (besides their phone number) and my heart will beat with nervous anticipation and I will probably be rejected. Over and Over again. Is there anything wrong with tackling cold calling with a shot of tequila in hand?? What about double-fisted?

So if you'd like to spare me the uncomfortable task at hand, just recommend me and my realtor husband Oliver Indra (oliverindra.com) to your family, friends, or random people you meet. And we'll be sure to pour you a drink instead!

    Cold calling doesn't sound fun. So why ARE you getting into the real estate business? :)

    Hi Amber,

    No cold calling isn't my favorite pastime, but it may help me find people who need help, that I wouldn't have regularly run into.
    My husband is a Realtor and has had a good experience, I want to team-up with him and take on the marketing aspect. I love internet marketing, networking, and having a challenging career in beautiful San Diego. Have you ever been out to CA/ San Diego?
