Why Old Agency Thinking Fails (With Cindy Slaughter)

Send us Fan Mail Cindy Slaughter from Avocado Estate Agents joins us for a straight-talking conversation on what modern estate agency really requires to grow. She shares the moment she walked into a sales pitch and walked out as Marketing Director and uses that to unpack the mindset shifts needed to build a stronger, more intentional business.
