He has had more than his share of real-life struggles and setbacks, including an abysmal start in sales for over 3 years, making over 300 cold calls a day as a struggling Stockbroker – dealing with massive rejection, poor results and financial hardship, to eventually be the one giving the sales meetings, training other Brokers and taking on the role of Coach and Mentor to many.

Mitch has been both guest and keynote speaker for some of the top organizations in the world, including Century 21, Coldwell Banker,  AT&T, MCI Worldcom, Cablevision, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Northwestern Mutual, Oppenheimer & Co., Met Life and ERA Realtors just to name a few.
