Another thing that you want to do is ask for referrals.  While the market might not be there just yet, it never, ever hurts to ask someone for a referral, after all – if your clients liked your business, their friends and family would like your business as well.  You always need to be thinking about the future whenever you are in the real estate business and a lot of agents have lost sight of that.

Finally, you need to make sure that you are still working all of those hours you were before and you are getting to the office early enough – the business is not there if you do not promote and drive it to be there.  Remember that!
