Let’s not sugarcoat this—you've got some serious work to do. With an average score of 4.1, it’s clear that your responses are falling short when it comes to addressing client concerns in real estate sales. The common thread in your feedback is a lack of depth and specificity. You're missing the crucial details that not only reassure prospects but also build trust. A solution-focused approach is essential, yet you’re skimming over the opportunities to demonstrate empathy and understanding.
Your strongest technique seems to be acknowledging concerns, but you need to take it further. Instead of just recognizing an issue, dive deep. Ask targeted, probing questions to uncover their needs and fears. You need to embrace a more consultative style—think of yourself as a trusted advisor rather than just a salesperson. This will help you connect with clients on a personal level.
I suggest you study the Solution Selling and Consultative Selling techniques. These will help you better understand your prospects’ pain points and tailor your approach to meet their needs.
Here’s your coaching moment: Remember, selling is about the relationship you build, not just the products you sell. Every interaction is a chance to show you genuinely care. Stop being vague—get specific, get personal, and watch your effectiveness soar. You’ve got this!

"How do I know this property won't just end up being another money pit like my last investment?"
Answer:
I have done my due deligence and know its a safe investment
Feedback:
Your response lacks depth and doesn't effectively address the prospect's primary concern about potential risks and past experiences. While stating that you've done your due diligence is a good starting point, it doesn't provide the prospect with concrete information to alleviate their fears. To improve, consider sharing specific data or examples that illustrate the safety of the investment, such as recent market trends, property inspections, or testimonials from satisfied clients. Additionally, engaging the prospect by asking about their previous investment experiences would demonstrate active listening and help you build rapport. Overall, this response could benefit from more empathy and a solution-focused approach.

/ 10Question:
"Is this place going to be a good fit for my lifestyle, or am I going to regret the choice later?"
Answer:
I can assure you that there would be no regrets
Feedback:
Your response is overly simplistic and does not adequately address the prospect's concern about whether the property aligns with their lifestyle. While providing reassurance is important, it is more effective to engage the prospect by asking about their specific lifestyle needs and preferences. This shows active listening and demonstrates that you are genuinely interested in helping them find the right fit. Consider discussing features of the property that cater to their lifestyle, such as nearby amenities, community activities, or space configurations. Overall, this response lacks depth and a solution-focused approach.

Answer:
This neighbourhood has always been on the upward in terms of value. Your investment will hold up
Feedback:
Your response provides a positive assertion about the neighborhood but lacks supporting evidence or detail. To effectively address the prospect's concern about fluctuating property values, it's essential to share specific data or trends that demonstrate the neighborhood's stability and growth potential. Consider discussing recent sales data, economic indicators, or community developments that contribute to long-term value. Additionally, asking the prospect about their concerns or previous experiences can foster a more collaborative dialogue and build trust. Overall, your response needs to be more comprehensive and informative to reassure the prospect.

"Will I have support from you during the decision process, or will I feel left in the dark like I did before?"
Answer:
You will have my continuous support all through. We dont leave our customers in the dark. We have that reputation
Feedback:
Your response addresses the prospect's concern about support during the decision process, but it lacks specific details that could enhance your credibility. Instead of just stating that you'll provide continuous support, consider elaborating on what that support entails. For example, you could mention regular updates, check-ins, or available resources that will help the prospect feel informed and secure throughout their journey. It’s also beneficial to share examples of how you’ve supported other clients in the past. By providing a clearer picture of your commitment to them, you'll build more trust and rapport.
Additionally, remember to engage the prospect by asking if they have specific concerns or experiences from previous situations that you can address directly. This will show you are actively listening and willing to tailor your support to their needs.

Feedback:
Your response addresses the concern about the closing process potentially affecting the prospect's living situation, which is a step in the right direction. However, it lacks specificity and reassurance. Instead of just stating that actions will be expedited, consider providing details on what those actions entail and how you plan to communicate updates throughout the process.
Additionally, acknowledging the emotional aspect of moving and the stresses it can cause would demonstrate empathy. Engaging the prospect by asking if they have specific timelines or concerns would also help in building rapport and trust. Overall, while your intention to provide reassurance is clear, your response could benefit from more detailed information and a solution-focused approach.

Answer:
Give me an opportunity to speak with your partner and i will douse all the tension, doubt about this particular investment
Feedback:
Your response acknowledges the concern of the prospect regarding their partner's hesitancy, which is a good start. However, the phrasing 'douse all the tension' may come off as somewhat informal or dismissive. Instead, consider conveying a more collaborative approach by asking questions that invite the partner into the conversation, such as understanding their concerns about the investment or addressing specific issues they might have. Offering to facilitate a discussion with both partners could help build trust and demonstrate your commitment to their joint decision-making process. Overall, aim for a more empathetic and solution-focused dialogue that reassures the prospect of their partner's importance in the decision.

We have a very flexible payment plan and always very considerate. We will be open to discussing changes in the advent of unforeseen changes
Feedback:
Your response addresses the prospect's concern about payment flexibility, which is a positive start. However, it lacks specificity and detail that could enhance your credibility.

For example, you could mention the possibility of adjusting payment schedules, temporary payment reductions, or alternative financing options. Offering concrete examples demonstrates your commitment to accommodating their needs. Additionally, engaging the prospect by asking about their specific concerns or potential changes in their financial situation could foster a more collaborative dialogue and help build rapport.

There are no hidden costs. Any other thing that comes up we will be working it hand in hand with you openly
Feedback:
Your response aims to address the prospect's concern about hidden costs, which is important in real estate transactions. However, it lacks detail and specificity that could enhance your credibility. Instead of just stating that there are no hidden costs, consider providing examples of common costs that buyers should be aware of, such as closing costs, maintenance fees, or property taxes. Additionally, mentioning how you will communicate these potential costs transparently can build trust. Engage the prospect by asking if they have specific concerns about costs or if they need clarification on any aspect of the buying process. Overall, your response needs to be more informative and solution-oriented to reassure the prospect successfully.

Feedback:
Your response starts off on the right track by acknowledging the growth potential of the area. However, it lacks specific details that would help reassure the prospect about long-term growth and their investment goals. Consider providing data or insights on recent developments, planned infrastructure projects, or market trends that demonstrate the area's upward trajectory. Additionally, while it’s good that you want to understand the prospect's goals, it would be beneficial to ask more targeted questions to explore their objectives further. This can help tailor your advice and establish a stronger connection. Overall, make sure to provide concrete examples and engage the prospect more effectively for a comprehensive response.
