GRI was a fantastic opportunity for me to learn some of the best marketing techniques in the industry. It helped me understand how to put systems in place to better serve buyers and sellers. It also gave me new tools to better compete with agents that have many more years of experience. Recently, it helped me gain listings when competing with other agents by using techniques to overcome objections.

I did my GRI back in 1982-83 and 84 but it is still fresh in my memory. It was filled with many national speakers, great topics of discussion and a lot of information to hang on to. I was 5 years into the business in 1982 and found out that I didn’t know it all.
