When I started TPE, I averaged selling one home
every two weeks. Within a few months of
joining the program, my production
doubled to selling an average of over
one home every week! Huge! Because of
you I’ve focused on my top income producing
activities more consistently, paid off over
$40,000 in debt, and I’ve more than
doubled my business, almost
immediately. the biggest key was you helped
me define and do my critical success factors more
frequently and to make them a top priority in my
daily schedule. Hiring a coach was the best
business decision I’ve ever made!
