The reason is they work hard but rarely work smart. Most do not have any
background in sales and marketing so they rely on the broker for leads and
advertising. The only thing that keeps most Agents alive is referrals. And
you do not get referrals unless you are doing a good job. The one's I see
making good money are the one's that do well for their customers and/or have
found some sort of niche or specialty.
