NAR's Commercial "Virtual" Book Club

Join us for the first ever "virtual" book club — where the discussion all happens online. With a virtual book club, there are no set meeting times, so you determine your reading pace. As you complete each chapter, you can either go straight to the discussion on LinkedIn or check out that chapter's webinar.

Author Reviews

"Bob Potter brings energy and insight into connecting with potential clients. Find a common ground so that you can break the ice; do your homework and understand what the client wants; and listen, listen, and listen more during your initial meeting! It's all about communication!"

— Regina T. Mullins, CPM, CCIM

"Communication, communication, communication! Bob Potter reminds us that we need to ask the questions to determine the need of the client, develop small talk to connect on common issues, research what the client needs are before you meet and after you have done all of this, you are able to relate to the needs of the client and the business will follow."

— Michael J. Tharp
