    Evening :)

    If anyone knows of (or has) a sales executive / account management role available within the property / real estate (or similar) industries please let me know. I am currently looking for a new position and thought maybe someone on here may be able to help.

    Thanks guys and gals..

    Hi Dev
    As a suggestion, if you seek a position in Real Estate Sales, target the geographical area you know, target the agents in that area with a prospecting letter, and a follow up personal visit. If you can do that effectively, and they are impressed with your presentation and persistence, and you have the product they want, they will know you have potential.
    If the first result is not a strike, reload, and revisit 2 weeks later. Work more than one area at a time, it’s a numbers game. Success is then just a matter of time.
    cheers

    Good point, I dont think the salary offered by a r/e company will come close to what I am looking for though… good suggestion, thanks for the reply :-)

    Need to keep my high(ish) salary to keep borrowing to invest.

    That’s surprising..what do you think is high(ish) or low?
    be gentle to me though..

    What do you think a ‘average’ Real estate agent earns DVC8?

    An average one will earn an average wage. The good ones will earn 100k+ even when the market is not going through a boom.

    Paul TONICH in WA brought in about $1.2 Million last year and is on track to bring in about $1.5 this year..

    I know several that make $80k+ , however, the general comments i hear from some is that 20% of the agents make 80% of the money.

    Food for thought anyway..considering a “lollipop man” can make $90k a year (see Saturdays West Australian Newspaper).

    I see the papers also say an average wage is about $50k p/year..

    any thoughts?

    dev,

    I’m not a fan of the doorknocking approach- I reckon it just leads to disappointment- I’ve never met anyone who got a job in 2005 by walking business door to business door- sorry, crest- perhaps your experience is different. Same with just contacting one of the job broker companies- waste of time, in my opinion. when I say these approaches are a wAste of time, I mean that I believe they are the least effective ways to gain positions.

    dev, try:

    mycareer.com.au
    careerone.com.au
    seek.com.au
    cracker.com.au (free community ads, so lots of companies and orgs put their ads online there)
