Balance: Your business-producing activities (lead generating, qualifying, showing, listing, offer presentations) should take 4-5 hours a day when you are new, or are re-generating your business. Your business-supporting activities should take no more than 3-4 hours a day.

Experienced agents steadily growing their businesses: Lead generate 2 hours a day in the mornings, 4 days a week.
