I wasn't a believer until I saw him in action. At a Tom Ferry event at the Seattle Convention Center, I observed thousands of people worshipping Tom Ferry, then and now, a legendary real estate coach, as he doled out words of wisdom during his presentations.
In many ways, Tom learned from the best. His dad is Mike Ferry, also a legendary real estate coach. Tom started working in sales at his dad's company, the Mike Ferry Organization, at 19. He eventually earned the position of president.
But Tom's entrepreneurial spirit led him to branch out on his own, and he expanded his personal brand and offerings — exponentially. Along the way, Tom's company partnered with Zillow, and that's how we became friends.
On this episode of Office Hours, Tom shares his career trajectory from sales at his dad's company to coaching phenom, the single biggest pitfall for work performance and his take on California's business climate.
Tom Ferry is the founder and CEO of Ferry International, the real estate industry's leading coaching and training company. He impacts professionals in a wide variety of ways – including rigorous accountability coaching, the popular #TomFerryShow delivering free, fresh and relevant real estate tips weekly, highly engaging training events, two best-selling books and his keynote speeches.
