The integrity shift that instantly boosts your credibility
In this coaching moment, coach Darryl Davis breaks down a truth most agents avoid: Integrity isn’t built when everything goes right. It’s built in the moments we’re brave enough to admit when we got it wrong.
Owning your mistakes, taking full responsibility and asking for forgiveness doesn’t make clients question your professionalism — it makes them trust you more deeply than ever. People crave authenticity. They remember humility. And they refer agents who show respect, even in uncomfortable moments.
This tiny shift — choosing honesty over ego — can completely change how clients perceive you, talk about you and stay loyal to you. A small act with a massive impact.
