Do You Need Sales Experience To Sell Real Estate?
Anyone can get a license. Not everyone can build a business on it. The difference is usually sales ability and desire, and that is what we screen for first at Kris Lindahl Real Estate.
Why we look for sales experience first
We do not teach sales from scratch. Our brand is too big and too visible to start at the very beginning. We put quality appointments on your calendar. Your job is to show up and sell.
Backgrounds that tend to thrive
- Servers and bartenders who always sell the most
- Hospitality and hotel professionals
- Teachers with a bold, competitive streak
- Automotive sales
- Home improvement, windows and doors, where you sell at the kitchen table
- New construction sales professionals who are tired of model homes
- Property management
- Licensed agents whose sphere has dried up
Your title does not have to say sales. If people have told you your whole life that you should be in sales, that counts.
The traits that matter most
We look for people who are hungry, humble and smart. Hungry means you want more and will do the work to get it. Humble means you are coachable and put the team first. Smart means you read people and situations quickly. We also care about how fast you act. Tell a great fit once and it is done.
Who it is not for
If you want an easy road, constant motivation from other people, or success without sacrifice, this is the wrong place. Read our standards before you apply.
