Let's be real: your performance in this test was far from impressive, landing at an average score of 2.9. You’ve shown that you can identify some key selling points, but your responses are largely superficial and fail to engage the customer effectively. You seem to struggle with depth and specificity, often presenting overly simplistic answers that miss the mark on addressing customer concerns comprehensively.
One of your strongest areas is the recognition of the need for a consultative approach, yet your implementation of this is lacking. You often mention solutions like flexible payment plans or bringing partners to the property but don’t delve into the details that would truly resonate with your prospects. There’s a consistent pattern of failing to ask open-ended questions that could uncover the real issues your prospects are facing. Instead, you default to generic statements that do little to build trust or rapport.
To elevate your game, I suggest you focus on mastering SPIN Selling and Consultative Selling techniques. These will help you develop a sharper understanding of customer needs and how to articulate solutions that genuinely address their concerns.
Remember, selling is about connection. Aim to create dialogues rather than monologues. When you engage customers with curiosity and depth, you not only build trust, but you also pave the path to closing deals. Your coaching moment here is simple: depth over breadth. Dive deeper into your prospects' concerns, and you’ll find the gold mine of opportunities waiting for you.

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried about how the monthly payments will fit into my budget, especially with other expenses looming."
Answer:
We have a payment plan that is flexible
Feedback:
The response lacks depth and does not address the customer's concern comprehensively. While mentioning a flexible payment plan is a start, it fails to provide specific details about how this plan can alleviate the customer's worries about their overall budget. There should be an exploration of the customer's financial situation, perhaps through open-ended questions to better understand their concerns. Overall, the response does not demonstrate active listening or curiosity.
Engaging the prospect with a more solution-focused approach, such as discussing budgeting strategies or potential cost-saving measures, would have been more effective.

It lacks depth in addressing the market conditions and doesn't explore the specifics of the ongoing development or how it positively impacts the property's value. A more effective approach would involve asking questions to understand the prospect's perspective and concerns, providing evidence or data to support the claim, and showcasing unique selling points of the property.

"What if I find a better deal elsewhere after I commit to this?"
Answer:
Oh this is the best deal out there with our promo happening
Feedback:
The response is overly simplistic and does not adequately address the prospect's concern about potentially finding a better deal after making a commitment. It lacks depth and fails to provide any reasoning or evidence to substantiate the claim that it is the best deal. A more effective approach would involve exploring the prospect's motivations and concerns about finding a better deal, and then providing reassurance about the value of the current offer, possibly comparing it with market trends or unique features that set it apart.

"This house needs some renovations; how can I be sure I won't overspend?"
Answer:
It's for your comfort and to suit your taste
Feedback:
The response fails to address the prospect's concern about overspending on renovations. Simply stating that the renovations are for comfort and taste does not provide any assurance or strategy to manage costs effectively. A more effective approach would involve discussing a budget plan or offering examples of cost-effective renovations that add value without breaking the bank. Additionally, asking questions about the prospect's renovation plans or concerns could help in providing tailored solutions and building rapport.

Answer:
Property value never depreciates so it will support your lifestyle
Feedback:
The response lacks depth and fails to address the specific question regarding how the property will support the prospect's lifestyle in the long run. Simply stating that property value never depreciates is a sweeping generalization and does not provide concrete examples or benefits relevant to the prospect's personal situation or lifestyle needs. A more effective approach would involve discussing various lifestyle aspects such as location benefits, community amenities, or potential for appreciation based on local developments. Additionally, asking clarifying questions to better understand the prospect's lifestyle goals and concerns would demonstrate active listening and engagement. Overall, the answer does not effectively explore the value of the property in relation to the prospect's long-term lifestyle.

Feedback:
The response is dismissive and fails to adequately address the prospect's concern about the complexity of the closing process. While it attempts to reassure the prospect by suggesting that it won't take much time, it lacks specificity and does not provide any details about what the closing process entails. A more effective approach would involve briefly explaining the steps involved and highlighting any support you would provide to make the process smoother. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have specific concerns or questions about the closing process could demonstrate active listening and build trust. Overall, the response does not engage the prospect effectively or provide a clear value proposition regarding the closing process.

/ 10Question:

Answer:
Oh it's the right time as you'll have returns on your investment in less than a year and you'd be glad you made this big purchase
Feedback:
The response is overly simplistic and fails to adequately address the prospect's economic concerns about making a big purchase. While suggesting that there will be returns on the investment is a positive point, it lacks supporting details and evidence to make it credible. A more effective response would involve discussing the current market trends, potential risks, and how the property may appreciate in the current economy. Additionally, asking the prospect about their specific concerns regarding the economy could foster a more engaging and consultative dialogue.

"I’m hesitant because my partner and I have different opinions on this property; how do we find common ground?"
Answer:
How about you come with your partner and we take both of you to the property and tell you both the amazing benefits you stand to get after acquiring the property
Feedback:
The response suggests bringing both partners to the property, which is a step in the right direction for fostering collaboration. However, it lacks an exploration of the underlying issues that are causing the differing opinions. A more effective approach would involve asking questions to understand each partner's concerns and preferences, facilitating a discussion around their priorities and needs. Additionally, highlighting how the property features can align with both of their interests could help in building a stronger case for a shared decision. Overall, while the suggestion to visit the property is a positive initiative, the response misses an opportunity for a deeper, consultative dialogue that addresses the real concern and builds rapport between all parties involved.

Property never loses its value so be rest assured that you'll get your returns
Feedback:
The response is overly simplistic and makes a sweeping generalization that property never loses its value, which is not accurate and could undermine credibility. It fails to provide any concrete evidence or data to reassure the prospect regarding the property's stability in value. A more effective approach would involve discussing historical trends in property values in the area, potential future developments, and market analysis that supports the investment's stability. Additionally, asking the prospect about their specific concerns regarding value retention could foster a more engaging and consultative dialogue. Overall, the response lacks depth, specificity, and engagement, missing an opportunity to build trust with the prospect.
