DALLAS: Can Standing Desks Lead to More Deals?
They’re good for your back and your cardio—and they may just be as good for your handshakes. About 15 staffers at Transwestern’s Dallas office have jumped on the bandwagon. Principal Sanders Thompson tells us he stands about 40% to 60% of the time. With his headset, he can walk around while on the phone. "I am more animated, and I feel more confident," he says. It's paying off: He's working on a 70k SF deal for Gray Reed McGraw and a 7,000 SF deal for Beasley Hightower. Recent deals he's closed include 96k SF for Lockton, 62k SF for Netherland Sewell, and 25k SF for three other clients.
