In 1988 he started his own firm. In 2014, he sold it for $100 million. Most people would stop there. Bob didn't. I spent 24 hours with Bob, from his home gym to the “map room” with a 24-foot hand-drawn map of every demolition, foundation, and building permit in Manhattan. He also shared one of his sales prospecting tips with this weekly goal: he tries to talk to 100 property owners and ask every single one if they have anything to sell. Along the way I learned how to close deals as they happened in real time, walked the streets he's sold for decades, and got into the “why” that still drives his sales motivation to this day. This is what it looks like to be the top salesperson in the largest commercial real estate market in the country. -Sofia Timestamps 00:00 Meet The #1 NYC Real Estate Broker 01:05 5AM: GYM & Touring Bob's Home 02:19 6AM: The Bob Knakal Story 03:53 At the Office: & Inside the Map Room 05:07 10AM: Prospecting Calls 06:47 12PM: Bob's Business Card 07:41 Walking the Streets of NYC 09:42 3PM: Real Pitch in the Map Room 10:40 4PM: Meeting with the Team 12:10 What Makes a Top Salesperson? 14:21 5PM: Will the Team Close? 15:04 One Month Later Subscribe for more Science of Scaling: 🔗 https://clickhubspot.com/5fjr Cold Calling Essentials: 👉 https://clickhubspot.com/a42eed ICP Expansion Guide: 👉 https://clickhubspot.com/d43908 The 30-Minute Battlecard Builder: 👉 https://clickhubspot.com/732ef4 The Revenue Leader’s Guide to Scaling: 👉 https://clickhubspot.com/3b0361 About HubSpot: HubSpot is a customer platform that provides education, software, and support to help businesses grow better.
