5. We are ranked the #6 most recognized commercial real estate brand in the world
6. We closed $10.1 Billion in transactions in 2015
7. Your business should be a machine and the CRM is the engine….without it you can’t go anywhere
8. You have the have the “right people on the bus” in order to reach your destination
9. Have 5 meaningful conversations a day!
