Quote:
Importance of Follow-up: “80% of transactions happen within the first 18 months of the first point of contact… You’re leaving that kind of money on the table by just not following up.” — Mostafa Hosseini
Building Trust Takes Time: “It’s like people want to find someone that wants to get married on day one. It’s like, come on, buddy. It takes a little more time to build the trust and the relationship and the rest of it. So give it some time.” — Mostafa Hosseini
