Learning to develop your ability to present or speak in public is paramount to your success going into the future of appraising. If you have any interest in handling non-lender appraisal type work, it is imperative that you know how to market to and speak to the market you wish to capture.
Pubic speaking is almost everyone’s biggest fear. The fear of public speaking is a deeply rooted fear that we will be evicted from our tribes for messing up which may ultimately lead to our death. This fear is, of course, irrational and unfounded in the modern age but, nevertheless, keeps most people from growing into this largely untapped market opportunity.
Learn to speak, and to speak well, and you elevate yourself in the eyes of your market and add value while you’re doing it.
