Jessie Yerxa was one of the pioneers of social media in the late 2000s, and she’s the first person ever to post on Facebook as a real estate agent.
And sure, there was some push-back at first. At the time, Facebook was more of a social hangout, not a place to promote your business. But Jessie is living proof that, when you stand out, you can use that to your advantage—even when it’s not in a positive light at first.
In today’s episode of the Over Ask Podcast, Jessie reveals what she did to go from barely surviving to growing a seven-figure business.
And it all started with the viral cup song from Pitch Perfect.
