PART-TIME PROPERTY CONSULTANTS
$70 per hour
$50 per hour
in some regional centres
and some parts of Tasmania
Most Jenman APPROVED offices are about to offer a new position in 2015 – that of a part-time property consultant.
These are wonderful career opportunities and will be ideal for stay-at-home-Mums (or Dads!) who have a few hours to spare each week. Or perhaps people who have had a successful business career and have retired too soon. We are looking for the very best and brightest people; hence, the reason for offering you such an excellent hourly reward rate.
You’ll need a fine character, a commitment to client care and a track record of success in a sales career or a business venture. You’ll also need to be committed to learning and improving your skills. If you like reading books about successful people, that will be a big plus. We find that people who are committed readers are often very successful in sales and business.
If you are successful in applying for one of these part-time positions, you will be able to choose your own hours and your own days. You will be required for 40 hours per month.
We are expecting a huge demand for these positions which will soon be advertised by offices throughout Australia. So, if you think you might be interested, please call Arthur Kolovos or Debbie Matthews on 1800 1800 18. We’ll send you a complimentary copy of Neil Jenman’s acclaimed book, Real Estate Mistakes, to give you an insight into the ‘Jenman philosophy’.
With your permission, we will then pass on your name and details to your nearest Jenman Approved office OR, if you prefer, we will give you the name of the manager of your nearest Jenman Approved office and you can make contact when it suits you.
Thanks for your interest.
Neil Jenman
