Jim Verzino helps designers and eco-prenuers get more clients than they can handle and get paid what they are really worth.

People that go into business because of a deep passion often run into problem of either not getting enough customers or don’t get paid what they really deserve. Jim helps you find those customers that are right for you… that you like working with and that pay you what you deserve.

Beyond finding enough customers, he helps his clients deal with the next problem… the feast or famine nature of doing what you love for a living.

Most passionate business owners look on the horizon and sometimes see no work ahead, so they go on a marketing “blitz.” The blitz results in new business and they get busy. The bank account gets full and the fun work of doing what you love begins. But then, the work ends, and you haven’t done any marketing in a few months, and before you know it the bank account is empty… and you start the cycle all over again.

Jim’s Book Yourself Solid coaching will show you how to get more clients than you can handle, AND how to keep yourself doing the work you love consistently so you never again have to deal with the feast or famine nature of 90% of small businesses.

I am a real estate coach and active broker residing in Denver, Colorado, USA. I have been one of the most consistent brokers in the Denver metro area for over the past 3 decades. During that time, I have won numerous awards, been in the top 2% of a national franchise, in sales for over ten straight years, and currently rank with my team as the number 5 team for closed transactions in the entire Denver Metro area. Moreover, I have also been the President and Broker/owner for two national real estate franchises.

Coaching is very important to me as my “who and do what” statement is that I help realtors book themselves solid. After all the years I spent in the business, I am focused on giving back to the real estate community by coaching. Bottom line, my mantra is I help real estate agents grow their business now and for the future.

Some sales persons are born “naturals”. Unfortunately, I was not in that exclusive club. Yet, I am extremely knowledgeable, optimistic, and have great drive. I enjoy an uncanny passion for what I do. This energy is used to motivate and guide agents of all talent levels to achieve their goals. As a coach, I am completely focused on results. I direct my coaching students to plan and execute their perfect day, week, and month. They learn a system which gives them a fool proof foundation for the future.

I was coached with great results; however, my biggest challenge was always to fill the pipeline with good qualified prospects. In 2007, I read Michael Port’s Book Yourself Solid book. This is a “must read” according to the National Association of Realtors. He had a system for those who struggled with marketing and prospecting. Fate intervened, and In October of 2008, I was certified, by Michael Port, as one of his international Book Yourself Solid coaches, with my specialty being real estate brokers.

I have personally integrated the Book Yourself Solid system into my real estate business. I am reaping the rewards of that system as I prepare for the challenging year of 2009.
