Can we infer then, that about only one in 5 Housing Agents we used to have are serious enough to register, or the other 4, are clueless of the situation ? We have to wait for some "Official" pronouncements. Some cooling-off period is in order.
ReplyDeleteI think we need to do more. We need to make property agencies pay their agents a basic salary (which must be paid irregardless whether the agent bring in sales for that month).
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the insurance industry, the property industry and the MLM industry, they share 2 similarities. (1) A lot of consumer complaints. (2) No basic salary for salespeople.
Many electronics/ manufacturing/ construction/ IT/ Technology companies all pay basic salary for their salespeople.
Singapore's list of wealthy people comprise many from financial and property industry. Why can't these rich people provide a livelihood for their salespeople?
