From Marketing Pro to Market Leader: Paige Schulte’s Laser-Focused Strategy to the Top

Paige’s strategy was clear from the start: focus on listings and control her time.

She understood that listings not only allowed her to manage her schedule more effectively, but also positioned her as a go-to agent in the market with $100 million in sales.  With the guidance of her coach, Paige raised the bar for real estate services in Gig Harbor. 

Case Study

Paige Shulte moved to Gig Harbor, Washington with no traditional real estate background and a goal to become a top producer. Through her laser-focused efforts and with the guidance of her Workman Success Systems coach, . with $100 million in sales.

Here’s how Paige did it:

When Paige moved to Gig Harbor, she knew only two people. She faced the challenge of breaking into a small, tight-knit community with an average home price of $850,000. Despite having no traditional real estate background, Paige set out to carve her niche in this luxury market, knowing that being from California could be seen as a barrier.

I moved here and I knew two people. I came in hot from California, probably pissed off some PTA moms and said, ‘What the hell, I’ll get my license…’ My first year, I didn’t even work in Gig Harbor. I started at a price point of $200,000 and took everything I made to reinvest back into Gig Harbor.”

Paige’s goal was clear: within five years she wanted to be one of the top agents in her market. She knew that by focusing on a specific clientele and delivering unparalleled service, she could build a sustainable and successful real estate business while staying true to her strong entrepreneurial vision.

In 2017, Paige adopted a laser-focused marketing strategy to establish herself as a premier agent. Rather than spreading herself thin, she invested every dollar she made in lower-price markets back into the Gig Harbor community. She prioritized marketing herself to sellers and focusing exclusively on the Gig Harbor market, building trust through authentic engagement. With the guidance of Jim Knowlton, her Workman Success Systems coach, Paige refined her operations, improved her time management, and set clear boundaries, which has led to a more sustainable business model. By 2023, Paige had $100 million in sales.

Jim’s pretty straightforward with what needs to be done. He’s very patient and knows that there’s a process of adoption. The adoption rate on this kinda stuff takes time, and eventually, it all clicked.”

From the Client
"It’s the curse of the entrepreneur—blind optimism where we're like, 'Yeah, this sounds great. Let’s do this.' Of course, I’ve had flops along the way, but with consistent hard work and surrounding myself with the right people, we’ve built something amazing together!"
