It’s a great Friday at J Forrest Group—we’re simultaneously celebrating the newest team member AND a birthday. sales management seminarsWhat’s more, they’re both the same person—Jeanne Conger.

With 25 years in the industry; experience with public and private builders; and over 900 hours of real estate courses under her belt, Jeanne is an industry expert and the perfect addition to our team. While she has worked in design studios, marketing departments, merchandising departments, and new home sales management (she coached a sales team of more than 100), Jeanne enjoys nothing more than being in the trenches.

At J Forrest Group, Jeanne will partner one-on-one with new home sales professionals and leaders to solve the challenges that come with an ever-changing housing market. Jeanne will have her hands full turning around laggard communities, helping sales professionals generate traffic, providing hiring consulting for sales managers, and coaching design center sales teams.

One of the biggest things I realized I’ve been doing is stopping the process MYSELF rather than letting the buyer stop it. I’ve had a fear or misconception that I am moving too fast for them and have wanted to give prospects time to “sleep on it.” I realize now that I have been self sabotaging, and to keep going full steam ahead unless they tell me otherwise.

Another thing I realized from the training is that I have been the biggest one standing in the way of my success. I sometimes get discouraged when I see my peers selling homes when I’m not, and I automatically start blaming myself, thinking it’s me, thinking I’m doing something wrong, etc. It’s not a new concept, but Jason helped me to remember that attitude is everything, and whether or not I believe I will succeed, I’m right.

So going forward, I am going to believe that everyone who walks in my door is going to buy a house from me, I’m going to sell them on their first visit, and I’m going to believe in myself enough to take them through the process!
