    oh man I've been in the industry for 3 yeas and it's rough. It gets better though. I only make money through commission so the hustle is always real.

    So in your first 5 months did you not earn a penny in commission? If so, was your basic salary enough to cover your basic necessities i.e rent, food, car etc

      It was just about enough! But yes to start off with it was tough

    Just found your channel and I’m obsessed with it. I don’t do real estate but I work in sales and it’s nice to see someone talk about what this career path is really like. Especially cos you’re so young, I just turned 27 so well done on what you’ve done so far🫡

    The easiest fix for the irregular pay issue you described is to just live within your means. Don't let your fixed expenses go above your base salary and just put your commission earnings into saving, investment, or emergency fund.

      I had a few part time sales jobs whilst I was at school but this was my first full time job

    @TylerSinden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think you mentioned that the commission in the UK is quite less than in America, but in America, they don't get the salary as well (I believe). Would you rather have a bigger commission or lower commission and salary?

    • @BartChmielecki
      @BartChmielecki  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think now that I’ve got a bit of experience I’d probably forgo a salary for more commission

    How much are you earning per month base salary if you don’t mind me asking? And how much commission do u make as a beginner ?

    • @BartChmielecki
      @BartChmielecki  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It varies massively depending on where you work

  • @Aegon1stOfHisName

    Bart I heard stories where estate agents have their potential clients stolen or “poached” by their own colleagues? Later the estate agent transferred to a new office where they didn’t allow stealing sales but did you encounter this?
    BTW we need an updated video 👌

  • @maid5022
    @maid5022 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey
    What do you mean by pipeline? A clients network? How do you build this up when you know no body in the area?
    Are you paid a general annual wage?
    Thnaks!

    • @BartChmielecki
      @BartChmielecki  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The pipeline is the deals that are agreed and going through conveyancing. Building a network happens over time. And yes, there is a basic salary. Thanks for watching!

    Hi Bart,
    I really enjoy your videos! I have entered the industry almost identical time as you did and work in almost the same area as you do (Kingston based). I am a bit unsure about how I feel about a few things and would love to grab a pint with you one day after work to get a second opinion?

    Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $260K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategies... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

      Hi,
      I'm a sales negotiator just outside of London, and I completely disagree with the racism comment above. I'm a muslim from a Middle Eastern country and I can guarantee you that racism/discrimination doesn't happen, what matters is your ability to be able to talk and build relationships with people! The industry, in my opinion, is far from being discriminatory..
