Engage in the business of real estate affiliate of an international franchise - as opposed to independently exercise - significantly increases the chances of success. But even within this select group of professionals, there are varying degrees of success: some people become superstars while the majority showed positive results, and still others fail. This paper studies the difference between these groups.
To give a fair framework to this article, I quote Jay Conrad Levinson, in his revealing book Guerrilla Marketing for Franchisees and expando based on my experience of 16 years with RE / MAX:
 "The franchisees who succeed are those that do not depend only on the franchisor to succeed." My comment - They are innovators, creative and visionary real entrepreneurs. They have their own initiative, regardless of what you do or do your franchisor and consistently implement marketing ideas and programs that will lead to good results.
 "They get what the franchisor provides and multiply." My comment - I have watched our best franchisees are our videos, conventions, brand, marketing tools and multiply in ways you never imagined. Strive to increase the impact of what we offer, taking advantage of the maximum. Those who fail, however, benefit and never implemented to its full potential.
 "The successful franchisees recognize that they are the CEO of your own business." My comment - this is also true. Our Affiliates who succeed are those who accept full responsibility associated with owning their own businesses, they have the mentality of "Here for all! I am the CEO of my business. "In this way, never trust a hit or take breaks automatic mental thinking that being part of a franchise is a guarantee of success.
 "They recognize that the relationship with your franchisor is extremely valuable." My comment - This is another of the quotes I can confirm Levinson. Our best franchisees have a good working relationship with its franchisees. It is normal to occasionally encounter difficulties. But both sides recognize that maintaining a good relationship is important, and that fluid communication suits them both.
I have checked the above up through my field work with thousands of Affiliates in many countries around the world. I've seen it happen over and over again. Although there are no guarantees of success, people who share the philosophy set forth above greatly increase your chances of not only succeed, but to become superstars.
