SAN FRANCISCO – (April 9, 2008) – The message is simple and clear: be consistent in your work habits and have a plan. Pacific Union GMAC Real Estate supports this concept and has partnered with Brian Buffini to offer all of its agents the benefit of the 100 Days to Greatness training program he leads. The Buffini program teaches industry best practices, offering agents the tools to successfully run their businesses, increase client service and productivity, and focus on client relationships. After the course is completed, agents win, clients win, and Pacific Union wins.“Most of us have pieces of the puzzle in place. The 100 Days to Greatness program helped me get a better handle on what were the elements of my business plan and what daily activities I needed to put in place to improve my chances of accomplishing my goal,” explained Jim Caldwell, a Pacific Union agent at the Presidio office. “In the end, results are what really matter. During this time period, I ratified three deals, put up three new listings and added five new buyers to my portfolio.”Agent Rob Moffatt closed his first million dollar transaction thanks to the Buffini classes. “After a few weeks of the Buffini program, I developed a system to reach out to clients, completing my daily quota of three notes and five calls. I sent a personal note, a Buffini monthly mailer, and then the made a check-in call. To my surprise these folks were glad to hear from me, appreciated the mailers and said they were ready to start looking again,” explained Moffatt, who works from Pacific Union’s Opera Plaza office. “Buffini’s classes brought me many benefits, learning and practicing the fundamentals of prospecting and client retention, and identifying core activities that I can do daily to ensure my success.”REALTOR® Brian Buffini started Buffini & Company in 1995 to share his highly acclaimed lead-generation strategies with others.
