Cold Calls & Hot Closes (Guest: Kristy Thompson)

In this episode of The AgentFirst Podcast, Justin sits down with PayCompass agent, Kristy Thompson, who shares her winding journey from insurance in Chicago to real estate in Florida, and finally into the world of merchant services. 💸🌴 Kristy opens up about the ups and downs of cold calling, building a business alongside her husband, and making bold moves—literally and figuratively—to stay competitive. From crashing in Florida's saturated markets to rebooting in Arizona, she unpacks lessons on resilience, reinvention, and staying scrappy. Kristy also shares her refreshingly honest take on networking, technology in the payments space, and what's really working on the street. It's an inspiring, funny, and unfiltered look at building a business from the ground up.
