Let's get real—your average score of 6.8 tells me you're hovering around the middle, and while there are some bright spots, there’s a lot of room for improvement. Your strongest demonstrated techniques lean heavily on solution-focused selling and addressing customer concerns, especially regarding scalability and ROI. However, your responses often lack the depth and engagement that really connect with prospects. You tend to provide solid information but miss out on asking that crucial follow-up question that deepens the dialogue and builds rapport.
One consistent pattern I see is your ability to highlight the value and benefits of your offering, which is commendable. But too often, your tone errs on the casual side, especially in a professional environment like real estate. You need to dial it up a notch—think of your audience and adjust your delivery to match their expectations.
To really elevate your game, focus on honing your consultative selling skills. Dig deeper into your clients' specific needs and concerns. Additionally, mastering the art of storytelling in sales could make your pitches more engaging and memorable.
Here’s your coaching moment: remember that sales is as much about listening as it is about talking. Engage your prospects with curiosity. Ask them about their priorities, their pain points, and their visions. When you actively listen and tailor your responses, you’ll not only improve your scores but also win more clients.

"I appreciate the offer, but our current budget is already allocated for a different investment this fiscal year, and I'd need to justify any additional expenses. "
Answer:
Sure thing we totally get but just so you know our offer remains open and one of the best
Feedback:
This response does not effectively address the customer's concern about budget allocation. Simply stating that the offer remains open fails to acknowledge the prospect's need for justification and a clear rationale for additional spending. There is a lack of curiosity and discovery, as no questions were asked to explore the customer's situation further. Additionally, the tone is too casual for the real estate industry, which typically requires a more professional approach. Overall, the response lacks substance and fails to build rapport or demonstrate understanding of the customer's perspective.

Answer:

Additionally, incorporating data or projections could further strengthen the argument.
