RISMEDIA, April 24, 2008–Agents toughing it out in today’s challenging market know more than ever that if they want to stay in business they need to step up their game in differentiating themselves among the competition. Consumers are more cautious but they also are still hungry for information. How do you bridge that gap to get the sale?
