New agents have a lot of expenses--and often months to go before they see their first commission check. But long before that first check, agents have to start earning another form of capital--social capital.

Your contacts are the lifeblood of your real estate business, so it's important that new agents start building their social sphere from day one. But you need to put systems in place for managing and keeping track of your contacts. Otherwise, your contacts will slip through your fingers like sand.

The best way to keep track of your contacts is via a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This software makes it easy to track and nurture your relationships with clients and prospects. But for agents just starting out, CRMs are yet another expense. Don't fret just yet, newbies--there's a CRM out there that lets new agents try it out free for SIX MONTHS.
