Which official Georgia topic does this cover?
Early-career implementation after active Georgia salesperson licensure.
What is the Georgia-specific distinction?
The Rule
The 25-hour salesperson post-license course is a first-year license obligation, not optional career coaching. Put it on the 90-day calendar even if the completion date is later, and verify the course is Commission approved.
The complete lesson
In month one, learn who can approve advertising, review contracts, handle trust-fund questions, and speak for the firm. Build checklists around the firm's actual policies rather than a generic social-media workflow.
In month two, measure inputs you control: conversations, follow-ups, market tours, contract practice, and broker-reviewed client consultations. Lead promises are not a plan.
In month three, review conversion and competence separately. A thin pipeline needs more outreach; a busy pipeline with contract errors needs more supervision and practice. Do not solve every problem by increasing lead volume.
What should you do, in order?
- Complete firm onboarding and verify active status.
- Schedule the approved post-license course.
- Build a permission-based contact database.
- Practice buyer, seller, agency, and compensation conversations.
- Hold a 30, 60, and 90-day review with the supervising broker.
Worked example: A productive week without a closing
In week four, Jamie holds no client appointment but completes two contract labs, tours 15 listings, speaks with 40 people, follows up with 12, and shadows an inspection.
Common traps
- Buying leads before learning the consultation and follow-up process.
- Publishing advertising before broker approval.
- Delaying post-license planning until month eleven.
