What to Do if You Have a BAD Upline??

Why Should I Listen to You? "Hey Yasser! Why should I listen to you? You're not a top producer right now. You're no longer even an agent!" More than one agent may have said this to my face... They must be super sceptical of me. I understand. Maybe they have a bad, uncaring upline who got no time for them.  Maybe that's true in your case too. Then agents see Top Producers getting featured in the news, on property guru, on 99.co. And everyone wants to join their team. That's because many agents tell themselves that it takes a millionaire agent to coach and train other top producers. That's Not True! Successful uplines hardly have time for their downlines because They have a lot of customers to serve. Personal sales got them there and they have no intention of letting this go. They have less time for others. Because they're so busy, they cannot take out a lot of time. They have families, commitments.So they're very protective of their time. They have more problems to solve. Your issues are just one of many on their plate. What This Means For You? It means you're already in competition with your fellow division mates! It also means that if you wish to be taught by Top Producers, then you may be disappointed. And not all top producers are excellent teachers. So Who Am I and Why You Should Listen to Me? It's true, I may not have been a top producer myself as a realtor, but I am about more than just creating top producers. And this is my story. My Backstory I was a broke and unemployed youngster trying to help my single mother take care of us 4 siblings. I had just wasted 2.5 years of my life in MLM and wanted to end my money struggles permanently. So after I saw my aunt make a lot of money selling houses, I decided to become an agent too. My Desires I wanted my mum to have a good life and not struggle with 2 jobs. I wanted to see her happy. The external struggle was that I was not selling anything as a realtor. Instead of helping my mother, I was now dependent on her for food and transport money. The internal struggle was that my mother was supporting me. I felt like a leech, a parasite. I felt like a failure as a son. The Problems I Faced The problem was that I was a shy guy. Between finishing my schooling and National Service in Singapore and becoming a realtor, I only had 3 years to try to make friends. That didn't happen because I was terrified of meeting strangers. So I knew no one who would buy or sell real estate. Plus, I didn't have the money to advertise. So not only was I totally broke, I had zero sources of income. I was literally starving for cash. The Realisation One night while desperately searching for a solution in my mother's kitchen, I stumbled across Dan Kennedy's teachings. He taught an upside-down method to get clients; by making them contact you first, instead of you doing the chasing and selling. He called it Reverse Prospecting. But it worked if you offered something of value to prospects in exchange for their contact information. I quickly acted on his advice, put up a simple offer online, and I got literally flooded with 1,943 inquiries in 48 hours. It was more business than I could handle on my own. That's when I realised that the secret to having an overflow of business was Reverse Prospecting. The Plan My plan was to start creating multiple offers that gave Singapore Home Buyers & Sellers something of value in exchange for their contact information.
