How Do You Say That Town’s Name?
I recently got my license to sell real estate. Instead of being excited about getting my license and being able to wheel and deal houses, I am very nervous. I know that many real estate agents are nervous when they first get their license as they want to make sure that they come off polished while they are still young and fresh in the business. I know that when I found out I would be selling pflugerville real estate I had to know how to say the name of the town right or I could literally embarrass myself right out of a sale or potential client. Using the agents in my office that are familiar with the area, I asked them to help me say the name as well as remember how to spell it so that I wouldn’t have to carry around the name of the hotel with me every place that I went.
There are a lot of people that are shy about not being able to pronounce things and I think that I am one of them, however, if it is going to keep me from doing business and keep me from working with people then I am going to have to get over it. I once saw a person’s name on a name tag that I had no idea how to pronounce, so I asked the person how to say their name once and I put it in my head to keep after. When I asked the person how to pronounce it, she was more than willing to tell me and I am sure that she appreciated the fact that I took the time to ask how to pronounce it instead of embarrassing her or myself. I was happy to see that she was willing to tell me.
