Your performance in this test is a wake-up call. Averaging a score of 4.7 means you’re not just missing the mark; you’re barely on the target. Let’s get real: you’ve got some decent instincts, but they’re buried under a lack of depth, clarity, and engagement. Your strongest moments came when you attempted to address concerns, but you often fell short in making emotional connections and providing specific solutions. There’s a pattern here—you’re talking but not truly listening or collaborating with the prospect. You need to shift from a transactional mindset to one that emphasizes building relationships and understanding client needs. Focus on honing your consultative and solution-focused selling skills. Dive into techniques that emphasize storytelling and the Challenger Sale approach to challenge customer thinking and educate them on your offerings. Remember, sales isn’t just about pushing a product; it’s about problem-solving and making the prospect feel understood. Your coaching moment? Stop thinking of yourself as just a salesperson and start seeing yourself as a trusted advisor. Engage, question, and connect—because that’s where the real sales magic happens.

"We're looking at several properties, but honestly, we're not feeling a real sense of urgency to make a decision right now."
Answer:
With todays market waiting to purchase could cost tens of thousands of dollars and significantly limit the potential size of your next property.
Feedback:
The response does address the urgency objection by highlighting the potential financial consequences of waiting in today's market. However, it lacks a more conversational tone and doesn't fully engage with the prospect's feelings or provide a collaborative approach. Asking follow-up questions to understand their timeline and decision-making process could enhance the engagement. Additionally, while the urgency was addressed, it could be framed in a more empathetic manner to build rapport. Overall, it could benefit from a more consultative and solution-focused approach, emphasizing the value of acting sooner rather than later.
Score: 6 - You’ve got the right idea, but let’s polish that urgency pitch to really make them feel the heat!

"Given the current economic climate, how can you justify the ROI on a luxury home purchase?"
Answer:
Historically, real estate has proven time and time again to be an excellent store of value in addition to its ability to generate signifant revenue
Feedback:
The response touches on the historical value of real estate but lacks depth in addressing the specific concerns about ROI in the current economic climate. It doesn't provide concrete examples or data to support the claim, nor does it engage the prospect with questions or explore their personal financial situation. A more effective approach could include discussing current market trends, potential appreciation, tax benefits, or rental income opportunities, which would better justify the investment. Overall, while the response is relevant, it misses the mark in being solution-focused and engaging.
Additionally, it could benefit from a collaborative approach, asking the prospect about their investment goals or concerns to better tailor the conversation.

"We've had issues with past home purchases; how can I be sure this won't be another failed investment?"
Answer:
I understand, look as builder, investor, and father I too am always hesitant when it comes to new things. Be it a new home, sport or investment with my proven experience and work ethic I assure you I have put in the effort to make sure that this is an investment you will not regret
Feedback:
Your response acknowledges the prospect's hesitation, which is great for active listening. However, it lacks a clear solution-focused approach. While sharing your experience is valuable, it would be more effective to ask specific questions about their past issues and concerns to better understand their unique situation. This would also allow you to provide tailored solutions to address their specific worries. In terms of tone, it could be more reassuring rather than just stating your credentials. Consider employing a closing technique that invites them to take the next step, such as scheduling a follow-up discussion or showing them specific properties that meet their needs. Overall, it’s a decent start but needs more depth and engagement.

"I'm concerned about the reliability of your service and support post-purchase; what guarantees do you offer?"
Answer:
So in addition to your average 1 year builders warranty we purchase an extend 10 year warranty for you on any new construction home you purchase from us. We also use only the best subcontractors and don’t cut corners. Only the best products are used on our homes to assure your buying a quality home to cherish forever
Feedback:
The response addresses the concern about reliability by mentioning the standard one-year warranty, as well as an extended ten-year warranty, which is a strong point. However, it could be more effective by directly acknowledging the prospect's concern about service and support post-purchase, rather than just focusing on warranties. Clear communication is present, but the tone could be warmer to build rapport. There's no closing technique included, which could have reinforced confidence in the purchase. While mentioning quality subcontractors and products adds value, it could benefit from a more personal touch or a question to further engage the prospect, demonstrating active listening and curiosity. Overall, it's informative but could be more collaborative and solution-focused.

Feedback:
The response does provide some useful information about quality control and unique home building. However, it lacks a direct connection to the value proposition that addresses the prospect's concern about standing out from competitors. Instead of just stating facts, the salesperson could have emphasized how these elements translate into tangible benefits for the customer. Additionally, asking a follow-up question to engage the prospect further would have shown curiosity and discovery, as well as active listening. Overall, while there are some positive elements in the response, it falls short in effectively differentiating the offering and engaging the customer.

"Can you provide specific examples of how you've successfully integrated similar homes for other clients?"
Answer:
We had a customer that wanted to have an easier access to the pantry for unloading groceries. We carefully integrated the plans to allow access directly to the pantry from the garage and added a Murphy door in the kitchen so as not to take away cabinet space.
Feedback:
The response provides a specific example of a successful integration, which is good. However, it could be strengthened by including more details about the client's needs and how the solution provided tangible benefits, such as improved convenience or customer satisfaction. Additionally, the tone could be more engaging, perhaps by emphasizing the positive impact on the client's lifestyle. Overall, while the example is relevant, it lacks depth in demonstrating value and addressing the objection fully.

There is no clear communication about how you can assist in overcoming the competing priorities or managing the decision-making process. Additionally, it doesn't demonstrate curiosity or discovery by asking questions to understand the specific challenges the team is facing. A more effective approach would include offering tailored strategies or solutions, demonstrating value, and actively engaging the prospect in a discussion about their needs.
