You know there is only 3 fundamental ways to make more money selling real estate:
#1. Do MORE deals,
#2. Do Higher VOLUME deals, and
#3. Make higher FEE per deal.
There's no need to be a broken record and try to persuade you when this has already deeply ingrained our real estate mind.
After all, you probably already KNOW that implementing Commercial is the key tipping point that will allow you to leverage your time, energy, impact more people, and scale your business to heights unlike ever before.
You've probably also heard that the Commercial professionals make almost 3X greater income in a year than residential pros. Not to mention the commercial sales transactions have resumed to 2003 levels, with prices rapidly increasing.
Just like most residential markets right now, Commercial is HOT and deals are coming together.
Let's face it: real estate agents are a dime a dozen.
So how do you separate those who "walk the talk" from the ones who merely...
...talk?
That's the problem!
And
at Straight Talk Academy, it was our problem, too. You see, we don't just
teach commercial real estate, we actually SELL Commercial property!
We aren't researchers. We aren't desk jockeys or "paper brokers".
We're business owners running companies (both online and offline) in B2B and B2C markets selling commercial property to all sorts of people trading Multi-family apartments to Vineyards and everything in-between.
In other words: WE ACTUALLY DO THIS STUFF...
...so we know how hard it is to find truly skilled people who know what they're talking about.
And that's why we created the Commercial Box Program and CPP Designaton.
We built this designation program to train our own team members and supply our agent and broker referrals with education and support because, well, frankly we had too many leads and many were slipping between the cracks.
After speaking with lots of Pros getting into the commercial real estate game and with Organized Real Estate Associations, NONE were finding any other solid training out there (both affordable and "real world" practical). So we decided to make this CPP Designation and training available to the world.
In short, we're making it available to YOU...
