MASTER TRAINER & COACH
MARY JOHNSON-PALLIN
Master Trainer, Platinum Circle Member, 14x “Trainer of the Year” Award Winner.
Mary is a Master Trainer and has been awarded “Trainer of the Year” fourteen times. But it wasn’t always like that. She credits Floyd Wickman with taking her from a non-producing agent to a production leader able to control her time, her relationships, and her life. In Floyd’s name, she has worked with a “Who’s Who In Real Estate” list of companies across North America, many of whom have invited her back dozens of times to speak, train, and coach. She has personally trained over 15,000 agents, many of whom were “stuck” or failing when they met her, and are now earning more than they ever had before and hitting their goals.
For Mary, there is no greater satisfaction than making a difference. She knows every dialogue and keeps her selling skills current. Just as Floyd did for her, she changes lives and gets results that go way beyond the classroom.
