#41: Working With Realtors? Channel Elvis.


Listen Later

Elvis said TCB. Jen makes it OPT.


Jen Barkan and fellow DYC Online Sales Coach Melissa Fort take on the most misunderstood business relationship in new home sales: OSCs and Realtors. Packed with straight talk, roleplays, and real-life coaching moments, this episode helps online sales pros show up with clarity, confidence, and that signature lightning-bolt energy.


Jen redefines the King of Rock and Roll’s TCB (Taking Care of Business) as Teach, Connect, Business, offering a smarter way to serve realtors while keeping control of the conversation. From what to say, when to say it, and to how to collect buyer info without the awkward pause, this one’s full of sharp lines and sharper strategies.


Listen in and start treating realtors the way Elvis would: with purpose, presence, and a little swagger.
