This is a special episode of the Emerging Leaders Podcast. It’s Part 5 of a series where I chat with the 2020 Fischer Homes award winners. In each episode, I will help you get to know each of them a little bit and learn more about what made them so successful in 2020.
In today’s episode, I spoke to James Allen, Sales Counselor from the Cincinnati Division, 2020’s Overall Sales Counselor of the Year. James is one of our most tenured associates having been a Sales Counselor for over 27 years with Fischer Homes, and he had an incredible sales year in 2020 selling 64 homes totaling up to $29.5 million.
