One of the most valuable parts of any top-producer gathering is the chance to study best practices directly from people already getting the results — the specific habits that separate a good year from an exceptional one. Ego is usually the biggest obstacle to actually learning from someone else's example; it's easy to assume a different situation means a different result is inevitable.
Josh Mettle — 50 Units a Month, Utah
Starting reactive means finishing reactive. Josh begins every day proactively with a consistent morning routine — cold water, a protein shake, five minutes of stretching, one cup of coffee. He also protects prospecting time with real rigidity, keeping outside distractions off entirely for two dedicated hours, five days a week.
Cody Hardridge — 30 Units a Month, Oklahoma City
80 to 100 calls a week, tracked with a physical pitch counter that sits on the desk and doubles as team accountability. Cody also relentlessly practices a specific Realtor pitch, anchored by one recurring question: "Who are you showing houses to in the next seven days that I need to talk to, so I can optimize their purchase power?"
Jeremy Forcier — 30 Units a Month, Northern California
A fully scheduled day, 9:30 to 6:00, managed by a dedicated scheduler who fills every slot with the right calls. Jeremy's underlying principle: if an assistant isn't working from a checklist, the roles have effectively reversed — you become your assistant's assistant.
Which of these three habits would move the needle most in your own business?
