@Tarantado...agreed, one can always make it a point to bring your 8 grade up to a 10 on the next job. ..of course a good grade helps them assign a good job. When we had our business, Real Estate Services as in
Commercial Real Estate and developing, grades were not important. I don't think I've ever been graded since getting out of school. This industry it is important, and gives you motivation to rise up...getting a 7 is not o.k.
When my house was on the market, I wish I could have graded some of those Brokers. Working with so many different "Venders" (if you will) with all different approaches, grading does help know where you stand.
But still, some, don't grade fairly all the time....my MS's are more than fair, excluding Intelli....
Live consciously....
