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.

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
