Nothing we can say or do could ever express the effectiveness of our efforts like our amazing coaching clients. To us, our clients are family – and nothing can break that (well, I guess we could name a few things, but thankfully we’ve never had to face that.)
"I am truly amazed at how much you have taught me about myself in these short eight weeks. The computer system itself was a bit overwhelming at first but is quickly becoming a good friend. The most important thing that we accomplished was to help me create a path. I have been fragmented and bouncing from detail to crisis for the past twenty years of this career. Now I feel that I have a framework to build on. Your assignments and gentle counsel have helped me truly focus on what I want to accomplish. It sounds like such a simple thing, but it is difficult to do. I am still working on the steps to our goals, but at least I do know what the goals are! The work you have done with us has helped us to start a map to our future. We still have a lot of work to do, but we feel that we have an entire bag of new tools that we did not have before. Because of the coaching sessions and our new technology, Ralph and I are better prepared to compete in this wild and crazy real estate arena. We will stay in touch when we assimilate all the new stuff bouncing around in our heads. We have truly enjoyed our time with you." Ralph and Jeanne Janisch Associate Brokers RE/MAX
"I would like to thank you for the excellent job of coaching over the past few months. I must admit that when I was told there would be a follow up coaching program with the purchase of your software and computer I was a little concerned about the obligation and time involved. Much to my surprise I could not of been more wrong. This program was one of the best things about the purchase and training of your product. Not only was the information, training, and endless help you provided excellent and priceless, you . . . were a delightful person. This service is a must for anyone wanting to get the most out of your products." Michael L. Bass, CRB, GRI Broker/Manager, Greenridge Realty, Inc.
"I want to thank (you) for all that you have done and are doing to help my desire to make the great leap from a technically inept to a technologically up-to-date Realtor who is ready for the new century!" Margie Beckett, CRS, GRI Utah "WOW! Where have you been all my real estate life? This is the answer to my prayers…someone that has pulled all the best together into a package that is ready to go! Several other agents in my office have already purchased the package at an earlier seminar and you won't believe the cheers they're shouting about the system. I'm looking forward to mine arriving within the next few days so that I can put it to work! Thanks very much." Bill Brown, CRS Ohio
“Count me among your raving fans. During this coaching cycle, I was trying to undertake too many different projects (pursuing E-Pro designation, total immersion Spanish) and I stayed in a state of overwhelm while finding myself jumping from one emphasis to another. Nevertheless, my basic toolbox will be the material from these sessions, and I am going back to the beginning notes to step through the cycle in a more orderly manner. So many good tips on technique and resources!!! My current priority will be to reassemble my business plan, then subscribe to RealPro and get a web site designed. I have had fantastic results with Obeo! The clients love it, and it gets results. My first two homes marketed with Obeo were sold within 3 weeks of implemention of the service. I'll be back for more review and cutting edge technology. Thanks for a really memorable and meaningful coaching experience.” Richard Murray, RE/MAX Fine Properties, Sugar Land, TX
“Just wanted to let you know that I have taken off. I’ve sold $1,886,900 since March! I have fully enjoyed our coaching sessions and can’t wait to have everything that you have recommended up and running.” Jennifer Lacatus, Churchill Brown
“I thoroughly enjoyed each coaching session. I have implemented some of the items that have been discussed with a timeline to implement other items of discussion. With this being my first coaching session that I've ever had the nerve to believe would be beneficial, I was definitely satisfied and am a "raving fan". I do believe that repetition is good and when you have a new group or another group covering other aspects, please let me know. Verl - Thanks to you and your staff for the individual help and answers that I've had along the way.” Renita Scroggins, RE/MAX Top Realty
“I am a raving fan. I have always pursued opportunities that would make me a better and more effective professional. Your coaching has been among the very best. 2005 was not a great year for me. (Dollar amount omitted) I have already surpassed that this year (as of April). Continuing as I have started I should exceed my goals for this year. I am a subscriber to OBEO, and to BuyerAcquire. I expect to get the real estate specialty laptop. I can see a number of ways it will enhance what I am doing. I've been using the Besson letters for year, even edited about 57 of them to make them more "mine". I use Buffini letters also. For several years, I have made regular calls to my past clients...about every 3 months. But I have counted voice mail as a contact. No more. I expect the BuyerAcquire and my other website in addition to the Real Pro Systems to help me meet my 2 prospects. I am working at the technology side. I have 2 spectacular admin staff who I have probably depended on too much for technology. The CD's are great. But most of all your passion for the business, your coachees, your focus and knowledge have made you an inspiration. Thank you very much. I expect to join another coaching group.” Mike Jorissen,Texas
“I found these sessions to be very informative and I am glad I invested in these sessions. I took notes at all the sessions and printed out the notes you sent and created a notebook. I didn't do all the assignments but I have implemented some of the things we went over. I am now using my top producer faithfully and just signed up to get my web site through them. My broker, who also took this, has joined realty pro and we now have LOTS of sites driving business to our office. I now do an OBEO tour my lisitngs, I have subscribed to Redx and am targeting expireds. I would recommend that everyone do your coaching and I will definitely take this again. There is a lot of information and hopefully I will incorporate it all soon and go from a good agent to a great agent. Thanks for everything.” Janice Fanelli, Century 21 Castle
“I have implemented some of the suggestions and am looking forward to getting more in place. My business has really started booming. Like Verl said, you don't really know where the business is coming from, it just begins to grow. I can barely keep up. Thanks again and I will probably go through the (coaching) series again soon.” Phyllis Fudge, RE/MAX The Woodlands and Spring
"It is the best investment of time I have seen, where an agent not only gets a great overview of the best real estate software and how it is put to use by the everyday practitioner, but also gets a technology fundamentals course demonstrating why an agent must be automated to excel in today's world. The time spent. . .will demonstrate to the agent the hows, whys and wherefores of technology in an entertaining and educational way. An agent cannot come away from the session without recognizing that in order to compete and excel in today's world they have to be automated." Mike Silvas, California
“We have started using your 4 day FSBO plan. It works great for us, as I can send out all the stuff and then Rick just stops by at the end of the 4 days ... last week I sent the stuff to 4 FSBOs and Rick had good conversations with 2 of those people -- one of them he is probably following up with as I write, who he feels will probably list with him if her potential contract didn't work out. The other, still has potential, but he had had a bad experience with a buyers agent in the past, so was angry at agents! Out of the other 2, one had already listed with someone else, and one we were never able to make contact with. This was a good experience in general though, if for no other reason than Rick now sees that there is some value in working FSBOs and that some of them actually do list their homes! Sarah Richards, Texas
“Everything was wonderful. Thanks so much for the excellent training. Because I had previous experience in the corporate IT world, I already had most of the technology in place in my business before I started the training . The most valuable thing for me was the 3-2-1. At 5 months into this year I had already sold more than all of last year, I was so busy that I had to slow down on the calls. Again thanks so much.” Jane Whitby, Coldwell Banker RaderGroup
“When I signed on for this coaching workshop, I was brand new to the real estate profession, living and attempting to work in totally new surroundings. I had been through the required post-license class and completed the initial training my broker provides. I was more than a little nervous about what I could really make happen and knew myself well enough to know I needed continuing direction and encouragement, and who could resist the enthusiasm of Verl Workman! I questioned if the investment I was making in learning how to "grow my business" and "take things to a new level with technology" was a little premature. Now that the sessions are over, I have no doubt that my decision to join your "team" was a good one. …I appreciate knowing that I am part of your "family" and welcome to attend future sessions. I do plan to review notes of your sessions on a regular basis, complete my assignments, get my business going, and return for a refresher session when I promise to contribute and share! Thank you again, Verl-- to you and your team.” Carol Johnson , Oklahoma
“I am always looking for that one thing that day or that week that will have a significant impact on my life and career. The day I first heard Verl Workman speak at the Re/Max of Texas State convention last January I thought, “WOW! I am going to learn more from this man.” And I keep listening to him and learning from him. His coaching has motivated me, and his experiences (from walking in the same shoes I walk in as a real estate agent) have provided me with tools and ideas that contribute to my entire team working smarter, to better listing presentations and overall performance enhancements for us all. Thank you, Verl, you’re the best! I will continue to tune in to your coaching conference calls for continued updates and training to further sharpen my skills.” Marian D'Unger, RE/MAX DFW Associates
“When I started your coaching I think I had 2 listings and nothing pending. The market in Michigan is tough right now, most people are moving out of the state, it is a huge buyers market but not many people have the money to invest. I currently have 5 listings, 2 pending offers, 3 new buyers I am working with, 2 listing appointments next week, and a GREAT attitude about it all.” (Provided after session 3 of coaching.) Harv Warsen Century 21 Acc-Sell, MI
“Thanks for your classes. Although I'm well versed in the "how to's" of real estate, my SWOT analysis identifies my weakness as technology. Throughout your classes you introduced a number of technologies now available to Realtors. All of these, when implemented properly, will most definitely be advantageous to any agent who gets involved.” Dan Zukaitis, Exit Red Rock Realty Want to see more?
