Today. I'm talking to Caroline Bean with Compass in Houston, Texas. Caroline has been a real estate agent since 2011, consistently doubling her business every year. To maintain this level of growth, her formula intended or not, is what most might consider counterintuitive. In her first interview with us, episode 133, she talked about keeping it simple, doubling your business. That's exactly what she does.In her interview today, we talk about her relationships, conversations with clients or business deals or negotiating her marketing and all in all her style. She doesn't pitch a prospect or ask for referrals. She wins without the pitch.
