- Strong sales teams: A brokerage’s sales staff is what makes the difference between a business that fails and one that succeeds. A brokerage that understands the importance of a capable sales team makes an effort to hire professional and experienced sales personnel, pays them well, and implements programs to keep them motivated that range from bonuses and awards to additional training and mentoring.
- Support: A lot of brokers put most of their efforts into their top line and relegate other departments, such as technical and customer support. Successful brokers however, understand that support is the face of the company when dealing with dissatisfied or disgruntled customers and invest in high quality personnel and on their proper training.
