Phil Clodgo
Vice President, Director of Training
The Keyes Company/Realtors

After serving nine years in the United States Air Force, Phil joined the Keyes Company. Soon thereafter, he began an ambitious real estate career that has spanned more than three decades. He obtained his Broker’s license in his first year and then went into management. Phil has managed nine different offices for The Keyes Company. As a Manager, he would open a new office, or bring a fledgling office up to top production. He would then move on to his next management assignment. During these years, Phil was consistently a multi-million dollar producer. His sales experience has ranged from selling residential homes, acreage, business opportunities, to oceanfront Hotels and Motels all along the Florida coast.

Throughout these growth years, Phil always wanted more. Realizing the incredible potential for recruiting newly licensed salespeople, Phil created the Keyes License Exam School in the mid 1970’s. Not only did Phil direct the staff of instructors teaching Principles and Practices, he also became a licensed instructor as well.

Still a member of “Toastmasters International” since his tour in the Air Force, Phil began to realize that his destiny was not in sales, but rather in helping others achieve the success, he now knew was possible. Within a short period of time, Phil was promoted to the position of Director of Training for the entire Keyes Company. With more than 30 offices in Florida and 1,700 sales associates, Phil dedicated himself to this challenge for the next two decades.

Almost immediately in his new position, Phil created a training program that he named “Fast Track to Success.” The “Fast Track to Success” program became the mainstay of the Keyes Training Department for more than twenty years. This intensive hands-on training program soon became a model for the real estate industry.

Today, more than three decades later, Phil is still a visionary. Together with his wife Sherry, who is the Director of Career Development for The Keyes Company, Phil has taken the Keyes Training Department to a new level. On January 5th, 2004, Phil and Sherry brought forth the next generation of real estate training…”Sudden Success,” “Accelerated Success” and “Foundation to Success.” These innovative programs are a revolutionary step forward, which will insure a new associate’s ability to become a top producer.

Phil is a high-energy speaker, with the ability to weave rapidly though complex subject matter in an informational and entertaining manner. His enthusiasm is contagious. His messages are always optimistic and he has the ability to intermingle interesting statistics with thought provoking ideas.
