Making a career change with confidence | Kristen Perry, Real Estate Agent, Coldwell Banker| Ep. 41

Kristen Perry had a successful career in ad tech and mobile
gaming before making the bold decision to pivot into the Bay Area
real estate market, where she now excels with Coldwell
Banker. 


 


In her tech career, Kristen was a powerhouse in business
development, leading sales efforts at companies like Tapjoy,
Tilting Point, Luna Labs, and Lifestreet.


 


In our conversation, Kristen and I discuss:


 


Adaptability is Key: the importance of being able to adapt to
changing environments, whether in the tech industry or real
estate

Valuing Relationships: building strong, genuine relationships
based on trust and communication is central to Kristen's success
in both industries

Personal Fulfillment: choosing a career that aligns with your
personal passions and values is crucial for long-term
satisfaction and success

Effective Communication: listening is a vital part of
communication, especially in sales, to understand and meet client
needs effectively

Continuous Learning: Commitment to lifelong learning and
self-improvement can significantly enhance your professional
growth and adaptability
