One of the Best Lessons I Ever Learned… By Floyd Wickman Some of you know my story.  My first boss when I entered real estate – was a NICE guy.  Truly, full of the best intentions – but under his management style I failed for almost a full year before it dawned on me, “Wickman, this ain’t working!”  That’s when fate stepped in personified in my second boss – not so nice – but without a doubt a man who taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned. Instead of pleasantries he said, “Wickman, if you want to

January 27, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Tips and Techniques from the Masters All of the top producers gathered at the Master Sales Society Winter FORUM this month have one thing in common: They never stop learning and practicing their craft.

January 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The Floyd Wickman Recovery Plan may very well have the biggest impact on the real estate community—and our country—than anything I’ve ever done because it’s designed to jump start the U.S. economy with a $6.6 billion jolt and change the lives of thousands of real estate professionals. I know my plan sounds ambitious, and I don’t think any of us have been involved with anything with the word billions attached to it, but I just may be onto something really, really big.
