If you want to compete with disruptors and survive the changes in real estate, you have to STOP seeing yourself as a salesperson and START serving your clients as a consultant. But this requires a seismic shift in mindset: Rather than focusing on the close, focus on building relationships. And remember that deals are a natural biproduct of building your list and staying in touch systematically.
