COLDWELL BANKER SCHMITT HOSTS
“MOVING TO THE NEXT LEVEL” SEMINAR FOR ITS
ELITE AGENT CIRCLE
Florida Keys – October 20, 2008 – Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate Company’s (CBSREC) Elite Agent Circle group met Thursday, October 16th at the Key Largo Grande Resort & Beach Club in Key Largo for a seminar conducted by guest speaker, Rick DeLuca.
The day-long seminar included a discussion of strategies and tactics proven to be successful in building and maintaining agent real estate businesses and relationships through market up’s and down’s as well as an overview of leading edge Internet-based tools.
Coldwell Banker Schmitt president and broker, Brian C. Schmitt, said “Rick DeLuca provided all of us with invaluable lessons illustrating how both the most traditional and contemporary of real estate marketing, sales and service practices can be beneficially integrated to achieve an even higher level of success.”
DeLuca was a highly successful real estate agent for many years. In his first year, he had 42 sales and became a multi-million dollar salesman every year thereafter, averaging nearly 200 sales per year to earn Salesman of the Year honors with a record of 292 transactions. He is one of only two trainers selected by the National Association of Realtors to conduct its Instructor Development Workshops (IDWs) and has conducted IDWs for many state associations since 1984. He is also the author of Speech Smarts: How to Become a Dynamic Speaker, published in 1991. For additional information, visit RickDeluca.com
