You've got some work to do. Scoring an average of 5.7 means you're in the middle of the road, and that’s not where you want to be if you're aiming for sales excellence. Let's start with the positives: you have demonstrated moments of solution-focused approaches and effective objection handling. You know how to keep a conversation flowing and ask questions that can guide prospects to think about their needs. However, there are some consistent patterns that are holding you back. Many of your responses lack clarity and structure, which often leads to confusion instead of connection. You also have a tendency to miss the opportunity to close effectively, leaving potential deals hanging. To elevate your game, dive deeper into mastering techniques like consultative selling and the AIDA model. These will help you better understand and engage with your prospects while guiding them through their decision-making process. Remember, clarity is key—don’t just throw information at them; make it digestible and relevant. Here’s your coaching moment: every conversation is a chance to build trust and rapport. Focus on how you can add value to your prospects rather than just presenting features or capabilities. If you shift your mindset to be more customer-centric, you’ll see your scores—and sales—soar.

"I've heard mixed reviews about your agency; how do I know you can deliver on your promises?"
Answer:
You don’t but I have tons of clients who can confirm I will

"I'm worried about how this investment fits into my budget; can you help me understand the overall costs involved?"
Answer:
When thinking about your budget, rent versus a mortgage has different cost associated the difference in a mortgage. You’re putting your money in a position to grow over time versus rent fitting into your budget. You never see a return. Wouldn’t it be better to identify a number you’re comfortable with per month so you can see a long-term return we can set it up to where taxes Mortgage homeowners insurance and a 10% cost to maintain the home fit into your current budget. How does that sound?
Feedback:
The response addresses the prospect's concern about budgeting for an investment, but it lacks clarity and structure. While it attempts to highlight the long-term benefits of a mortgage over renting, it could benefit from a more organized approach. The explanation of costs is somewhat convoluted and could confuse the prospect rather than clarify. The closing question is a good attempt to engage the prospect, but the overall communication feels a bit rushed and lacks a solution-focused approach. Asking more open-ended questions to better understand the prospect's specific budgetary concerns would enhance the discovery process. Overall, the response needs refinement in clarity and structure to effectively convey the message.
Suggestions for improvement: Use clearer segmentation of costs, ensure the benefits of homeownership are articulated more succinctly, and incorporate more questions to explore the prospect's specific budget situation.

"With the current economic climate, do you think now is the right time to make a real estate move?"
Answer:
Yes, uncertainty in the market positions us for an opportunity to negotiate. It also allows us to have more options so we can find the right home and then negotiate for the right price so when the market changes you’re sitting in a position with equity and a home you love.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the objection by acknowledging the current economic climate and reframing it as an opportunity for negotiation, which is a strong point in real estate. The communicator maintains a positive and confident tone, which is essential in this industry. However, they could enhance the response by incorporating a closing technique to encourage further discussion or action, such as asking if the prospect would like to explore specific properties or market data together. Overall, the response demonstrates a solution-focused approach and explores value well, but it lacks a collaborative closing element.
Score: 8/10

"I really like the property, but I need to know what ongoing support you'll offer after the sale is completed."
Answer:
Great question one of the biggest value propositions I’ve bring to my clients is a long-term expertise in the real estate market where I have bought and sold rentals flip homes I have a huge list of contractors and trades that have all been vetted and I will give you access to if anything comes up on your home I have tax professionals who can help you mitigate cost and long-term continue to help you if you decide to look at real estate as an investment beyond just a place to live.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the concern about ongoing support by highlighting the salesperson's expertise and the resources available to the client post-sale. However, it could benefit from clearer communication and structure. Starting with a direct acknowledgment of the client's concern would show active listening and validate their need for support. The response could be more concise and organized, possibly breaking it into points to enhance clarity. Additionally, a closing technique could be employed to reinforce the commitment to support and encourage the client to move forward. Asking a follow-up question about the specific types of support they are most interested in could also enhance discovery and engagement.

"I'm not convinced that your proposed timeline aligns with our business needs; can you elaborate on that?"
Answer:
First, I never wanna put my clients in a position. They’re not comfortable with. We can always adjust our time and goals as we move through this process. The reason I have the sense of urgency is because of my expertise in the market and with the time being so perfect right now it positions us in a place of power when we go to negotiate when the market turns and historically it always does our negotiation power will not be at the same level, but if you would like to wait and forgo that based on time, we can have a discussion and figure out a better alternative
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the client's concerns by expressing willingness to adjust the timeline, which shows some flexibility. However, it lacks clarity and focus on the client's specific needs and does not adequately elaborate on how the proposed timeline aligns with their business goals. The sense of urgency is mentioned but could be better connected to the client's situation. There are no clear closing techniques or questions asked to further understand the client's perspective, which would have demonstrated active listening and curiosity. Overall, while the intention to be accommodating is positive, the message is convoluted and could benefit from a more structured approach that emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and value exploration.

"I'm currently tied to another real estate firm; how can I justify switching to your services?"
Answer:
What is it about the current real estate firm that you like? One of the things that I’ve learned over the years there’s power in the name, but there’s people behind the name and if you decide to go with me, you’re not choosing my firm for its expertise you’re choosing me. What is it about your current agent that positioned you to want to reach out and start talking to other agents like myself.
Feedback:
The response effectively opens a dialogue by asking the prospect about their current firm's strengths, which is a good strategy for understanding their perspective. However, it could benefit from more direct value exploration related to your own services and how they might meet the prospect's needs better than their current agent. The tone is appropriate and shows curiosity, but it lacks a clear closing technique or a stronger emphasis on the unique benefits you can offer. A more solution-focused response that highlights your strengths and how they address potential pain points from their current firm would enhance its effectiveness. Overall, it's a solid start but needs improvement in demonstrating value and closing.

"What if the property doesn't meet our expectations once we purchase it?"
Answer:
Great question it’s one of the key components of the option. And the reason we want to explore and examine during that time to make sure this property meets and exceeds all your needs and wants when we get to the end of the option. We’re in a situation we can still investigate, but there is a cost to keeping the property off the market. I position my clients in a place or if you did not like this property, you would have an equity position that I would turn around and sell this property for you at a discounted rate as long as we had an agreement that I could represent you in the next transaction You’re never locked into any home. You always have a choice.
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the concern about the property not meeting expectations, which is good. However, it could be clearer and more concise. The explanation is somewhat convoluted, which may confuse the prospect. It is important to directly acknowledge the fear of dissatisfaction and to make the reassurance more prominent. While the mention of having an equity position is valuable, it could benefit from a stronger emphasis on the exploration process and how you will ensure the property aligns with their needs. Asking a follow-up question like, 'What specific expectations do you have that we should address?' could enhance curiosity and discovery. Overall, the collaborative tone is present, but clarity and direct reassurance are lacking.

Most of them had been there a minimum of three years some up to five with over $500,000 of equity based on appraisal cash flowing after all expenses at 8% a month I have another client, but we were able to obtain a property from a builder And get a $68,000 reduction with $25,000 additional towards our closing cost and a 3.9% interest rate. These are just a few examples of recent victories. My clients have had the benefit of because of working with me.
Feedback:
The response provides specific success stories that highlight both the financial benefits and the value delivered to clients, addressing the objection effectively. However, it could improve in clarity and structure. Presenting the stories in a more organized manner would enhance readability. Consider emphasizing how these successes directly relate to the prospect's needs and incorporating a closing technique to encourage further discussion. While the response shows active listening and attempts to demonstrate value, a more curious approach by asking the prospect about their specific interests or concerns would foster deeper engagement. Overall, good evidence provided but needs refinement in delivery and engagement.

"How can you cater to our specific customization needs when it comes to property features?"
Answer:
The great news is before I ever became a real estate agent. I bought and flipped houses myself. I’ve built new construction properties myself this gives me a team of experts who can help create and deliver a multitude of solutions when it comes to customizing and changing your property.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the objection by leveraging personal experience in real estate and the expertise of a team, which builds credibility. However, it lacks a direct engagement with the prospect's specific needs and customization desires. It would benefit from asking follow-up questions to explore what specific features the prospect is looking for, thereby enhancing the consultative approach. The tone is friendly and confident, but it could be more collaborative. Overall, the response shows promise but misses the mark on curiosity and discovery.

/ 10Question:
"I want to make sure all stakeholders are aligned before making a decision; how can you assist in that process?"
Answer:
As an agent, I never want anyone to make a decision without everyone being on board. Why don’t we set up a meeting? I can field all questions and will be happy to put an executive summary together which I will send prior to our meeting to make sure all questions and concerns her answer before we move forward how does that sound?
Feedback:
The response effectively acknowledges the objection and shows understanding of the importance of stakeholder alignment in real estate decisions. The offer to set up a meeting and provide an executive summary demonstrates a proactive and solution-focused approach. However, the communication could be clearer and more concise. The phrase 'her answer' seems to be a typo that detracts from professionalism. Additionally, while the response is collaborative, it would benefit from explicitly inviting questions or concerns to further engage the stakeholders. Overall, a solid response but needs refinement for clarity and professionalism.
