In this interview, we explore the value and power of coaching from the admin perspective. When Eric Wright made the transition from direct sales into real estate operations she knew that she needed training, coaching, and support to be successful in her role. Fast forward seven years and she is running the show for her top producing real estate team.

Erica Wright is a Loan Signing Agent and owner of Notary in a Dash. She started her career in Miami doing door-to-door sales selling office supplies and was eventually offered the opportunity to expand with the company overseas to London, England. She spent eight years working in England recruiting sales managers and consulting over 100 offices for the CRM  software she helped build out with IT developers in Orange County, California.  

After moving back to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania she began working with a Real Estate team in Exton, PA. During this time, she got her real estate license and helped grow the husband-and-wife team triple their earnings within four years. 

Yearning for something more and being a serial entrepreneur, she decided she needed to build a business of her own, so she decided to become a notary public. After reading, listening to multiple podcasts, and getting additional training, she became a certified loan signing agent. This allowed her to build a lucrative personal business using just a notary commission! Her success with her business allowed her to purchase her first home, right in Chester Springs, PA.

In this week's episode of Offer Accepted, Vanessa and Steven talk about doing the HARD things - i.e. the things that separate high achievers from the "average Joe." We talk about doorknocking, yes, but more as a metaphor for doing that hard, boring thing that makes everything else possible.

You'll learn about:

* Creating successful habits

* Setting boundaries and give you more freedom and flexibility

* Deciding when you have "enough" and getting off the hamster wheel

* Honoring your commitments to others and yourself.

You'll also learn about Steven's new book, "Doors Open When You Knock." It’s a fantastic read and we highly recommend it.
