and building their business, to instructing experienced agents on how to reach the next

To join the Success Training Center, agents must be licensed and hired
by Coldwell Banker to be a part of one of their 8 real estate offices. The program is 4

During the 6 weeks, new agents are carried through a Buyer’s
Module and a Seller’s Module, role playing each step from contacting the client or
customer, to consulting with them, servicing their needs with exemplary service and reaching
a desired outcome. Negotiating Techniques, are practiced as well as Listing Presentations
