Let's cut to the chase: your average score of 6.4 indicates there's room for improvement, and while you’re not at rock bottom, you’re not soaring high either. You've shown some solid fundamentals in empathy and understanding, particularly in addressing concerns about budget, time, and previous experiences. But here’s the kicker: you’re leaving money on the table by not digging deeper into your prospects' pain points and creating a sense of urgency in your closing techniques.
There’s a clear pattern here—you're good at recognizing concerns but often fall short in exploring implications and offering compelling next steps. For the sake of your sales career, you need to master closing techniques and embrace a more assertive approach. Focus on studying the SNAP Selling and the AIDA Model; they can help you simplify your messaging and guide prospects more effectively through the buying process.
Remember this: every conversation is an opportunity to uncover needs and create urgency. Take a moment to reflect on this coaching moment: empathy is just the door to the conversation, but you need to lead your prospects through it with confidence and assertiveness. Get out there and elevate your game!
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"I appreciate the call, but I'm already tied into a long-term contract with my current real estate agent."
Answer:
No worries at all! I totally understand.
Since you're already working with someone, I won't take up much of your time.
Just out of curiosity, are you happy with the service you're getting from your current agent? Sometimes, we can offer additional services or insights that might be beneficial to you. If not, would you be open to keeping our company in mind for any future real estate needs?
Feedback:
The response shows a reasonable level of empathy by acknowledging the prospect's current situation. However, it misses an opportunity to explore the implications of their current contract further. While asking if they are happy with their agent is a good open-ended question, it could have been followed up with more probing questions about specific pain points or gaps in service. This could better demonstrate value and create a stronger connection. Additionally, suggesting future consideration lacks urgency and may not prompt immediate interest. A more direct approach could engage the prospect more effectively.
Also, consider incorporating a closing technique to encourage a next step, like scheduling a follow-up or offering a free consultation. Overall, it's a decent start but lacks depth and assertiveness.

/ 10Question:
"I'm not sure this fits my budget; I've got other expenses coming up this month."
Answer:
Completely understandable! Budget is always a top priority.
Let me see what I can do. We're running a special promotion this month that might help with your cash flow. Would you like me to share the details and see if it could work for you? It's a flexible payment plan that could fit your schedule. No pressure, just exploring options. How does that sound
Feedback:
The response appropriately acknowledges the prospect's concern about budget, which is a positive start. However, while introducing a promotion can be helpful, it lacks depth in exploring the prospect's specific financial challenges and priorities. Asking more targeted questions about their budget constraints or other expenses could provide better insight into their situation and allow for a more tailored solution. Additionally, while the suggestion of a flexible payment plan is valuable, providing a clearer urgency or limited-time offer could enhance the persuasive element of the response. Overall, it demonstrates a reasonable approach but could benefit from a deeper exploration of the prospect's needs and a stronger closing technique to encourage engagement.

/ 10Question:
"Can you explain how your service will actually save me time? My schedule is already packed."
Answer:
That's a great question! Our service is designed to save you time, not add to it.
We handle everything from property search to viewings, and even negotiations, so you can focus on your business schedule. Our dedicated team will work with you to find properties that fit your criteria, and we'll take care of the heavy lifting.
Think of it like having a personal real estate assistant, minus the hassle of managing someone. Would that make it more manageable for you?
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the prospect's concern about time by clearly outlining how the service is structured to alleviate their workload. It conveys a sense of understanding and offers a comprehensive explanation of the services provided, which is beneficial. However, it could enhance the effectiveness by incorporating a specific example or case study that illustrates the time savings experienced by past clients, creating a stronger connection. Additionally, the closing question is good, but it could be more assertive in encouraging the prospect to consider scheduling a follow-up call or consultation to discuss their specific needs further. Overall, it's a solid response but could benefit from more depth and a direct call to action.

/ 10Question:
"I need to discuss this with my partner before making any decisions."
Answer:
That's completely understandable.
It's essential to have those important conversation with your partner.
Let's schedule a follow- up call for a time that works for both of you.
I'll provide you with all the necessary information, and you can discuss it together. No pressure, no rush.
When would be a good time to reconnect?
Feedback:
The response shows a good level of empathy by recognizing the importance of discussing decisions with a partner. However, it could be more effective by probing deeper into the prospect's timeline or any specific concerns they might need to address with their partner. While the suggestion to schedule a follow-up call is a positive step, adding a sense of urgency or a specific timeframe could enhance the effectiveness of the closing technique. Overall, it's a solid response but could benefit from a little more assertiveness and depth in exploring the prospect's situation.

/ 10Question:
"What happens if I find a better deal with another agency after this conversation?"
Answer:
No worries at all! We totally get it. If you find a better fit elsewhere, we're happy to wish you the best of luck. Our goal is to provide a great experience and value, not to lock you in.
That being said, we do have some exclusive listings that might not be available elsewhere. Would you like me to share those with you? If nothing else, it might give you a benchmark to compare other options against. Fair enough?
Feedback:
The response shows a good level of understanding by acknowledging the prospect's concern about potentially finding a better deal elsewhere. However, it lacks a stronger emphasis on differentiating your services from competitors. While mentioning exclusive listings is a positive point, it would be more effective to highlight specific benefits or unique selling points that showcase why your service is superior. Additionally, the closing question is somewhat passive; instead, consider using a more assertive closing technique to guide the prospect towards taking the next step. Overall, it's a solid response, but it could benefit from a deeper exploration of value and a more compelling call to action.

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about the monthly payments; I have new financial commitments to consider."
Answer:
I hear you loud and clear! Monthly payments can be a big concern, especially with new financial commitments.
Let me see what I can do. We might have some options to adjust the payment structure to fit your current financial situation. Could you tell me a bit more about your concerns with the monthly payments? Is it the amount, the frequency, or something else? Let's see if we can find a solution that works for you.
Feedback:
The response effectively acknowledges the prospect's concern about monthly payments, demonstrating empathy and understanding. By suggesting that there might be options to adjust the payment structure, you open the door for a solution-focused discussion. Asking for specific details about their financial commitments and concerns is a strong move, as it encourages dialogue and shows genuine interest in their situation.
However, the response could benefit from mentioning any specific payment plans or options you might already offer, which would help provide immediate value. Additionally, incorporating a closing technique that creates a sense of urgency or prompts a follow-up meeting could enhance the effectiveness of the response. Overall, it's a good approach, but adding more specific information and a stronger call to action could improve it further.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve had some bad experiences in the past, what guarantees do you have for customer success?"
Answer:
I totally get it, past experiences can be a real pain. At our company, we prioritize customer success and have a few guarantees in place.
We've got a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and our clients have a high satisfaction rate. We assign a dedicated agent to handle your case, so you'll always know who to reach out to. Plus, we're transparent about the process, fees, and communication, so you'll always be in the loop.
Would you like some references from satisfied clients or a breakdown of our success metrics? We're proud of our track record and happy to share.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the prospect's concern about past negative experiences by acknowledging the emotional weight of such situations. By outlining specific guarantees, such as a 100% satisfaction guarantee and the assignment of a dedicated agent, you provide concrete assurances that help build trust. Mentioning transparency regarding processes and fees also adds to the credibility of your offering.
However, to further enhance this response, consider incorporating a brief story or example of a past client who had a positive turnaround experience with your service. This could make your guarantees more relatable and compelling. Additionally, while the offer to share references and success metrics is a good closing technique, presenting a more direct call to action—such as asking if they would like to schedule a follow-up conversation to discuss their specific needs—might create a stronger sense of urgency.
Overall, this is a strong response, but adding a real-world example and a more assertive closing could increase its effectiveness.

/ 10Question:
"How does your service compare to the agent I’m currently working with?"
Answer:
That's a fair question! Since you're already working with an agent, you've got a benchmark to compare against.
Our service is tailored to your specific needs, and we pride ourselves on being more proactive and responsive. We also offer a wider range of services, like our proprietary property search tool and expert advice on pricing and negotiations.
That being said, every agent and agency has their strengths. If you're happy with your current agent, that's great! But if you're open to exploring, I'd love to highlight what sets us apart. Would you like me to share some specific examples?
Feedback:
The response effectively acknowledges the prospect's question and positions your service as a tailored solution, which is a positive approach. By emphasizing a proactive and responsive service, along with mentioning specific tools and expertise, you provide a clearer value proposition. However, the response could benefit from exploring the prospect's specific needs or pain points in more detail to create a stronger connection. Asking follow-up questions about what they value in their current agent would not only demonstrate curiosity but also allow you to align your offerings more closely with their priorities. Additionally, while you offer to share examples, a more assertive closing—such as directly suggesting a follow-up call or meeting—could enhance the likelihood of engagement. Overall, it's a solid response but could improve in depth and assertiveness.

/ 10Question:
"I’m not ready to commit yet; I need more time to think this through."
Answer:
No rush, I totally understand. Take all the time you need. This is a big decision, and I want to make sure you're comfortable with whatever choice you make.
I'll send over a follow-up email with all the details we discussed, and you can review them at your leisure. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to reach out. When would you like me to check in with you?
Feedback:
The response expresses empathy and understanding, which is crucial when a prospect feels apprehensive about making a commitment. However, it lacks a strong push towards a next step. While offering to send a follow-up email is positive, the closing question about checking in could be more assertive. Consider suggesting a specific timeframe for the follow-up, which would instill a sense of urgency. Additionally, exploring the reasons behind the hesitation might uncover concerns or questions that could be addressed right away. Overall, the tone is friendly and supportive, but it could benefit from a more proactive approach and deeper engagement.

/ 10Question:
"What kind of support do you provide if I run into issues during the buying process?"
Answer:
You've got a dedicated team behind you, handling everything from paperwork to negotiations. If issues pop up, we'll work with you to troubleshoot and find solutions.
Our support team is available 24/7 to answer questions and address concerns. Plus, we'll assign a specific point of contact to keep you updated throughout the process.
Think of it like having a personal guide to navigate any bumps in the road. How's that sound?
Feedback:
The response does a good job of addressing the prospect's concern by emphasizing the dedicated team and support available throughout the buying process. It effectively communicates that there is structured assistance for paperwork and negotiations, which can alleviate anxiety for the prospect. Furthermore, mentioning a 24/7 support team adds a reassuring level of availability and customer care.
However, the response could be enhanced by providing specific examples of common issues clients face and how your team has successfully resolved them in the past. This would help to build trust and demonstrate the effectiveness of your support. Additionally, the closing question, while engaging, could be more assertive in leading the prospect toward a next step, such as scheduling a follow-up call or providing additional resources. Overall, it's a strong response but could benefit from deeper value exploration and a more direct call to action.
