“ My role also allows me to sharpen my people skills and leadership skills , since Ray White encourages their leaders to grow and become a better leader .”
Erwin says Connect was the best conference he ’ s ever attended .
He was introduced to a number of project specialists within the group and he began by working closely with Andrew Salvo of Ray White Southbank .
He had access to many developer contacts in Melbourne and also brings a wealth of experience selling in Asia .
He says he learnt a lot from him and also made good traction in the Hong Kong territory .
From there , he got his name out there and other Ray White offices , as well as developers , started contacting them to collaborate .
