Let's get real: your performance is sitting at a disappointing average of 4.9. This isn't just a hiccup; it's a wake-up call. Your attempts to engage prospects are there, but you’re missing the mark on depth, empathy, and connection. You’ve shown some knowledge of market trends and an eagerness to help, but that’s not enough. Your strongest techniques seem to be in solution-focused and consultative selling, but you need to dig deeper into the emotional aspects that drive your prospects' decisions.
You consistently struggle with providing specific, actionable insights that address your prospects' concerns. Instead of just stating facts, you need to weave those facts into a narrative that speaks to the prospect's feelings and worries. Getting lost in the details isn’t going to cut it; you need to connect the dots for them, showing how your properties fit into their dreams and worries.
Focus on honing your skills in objection handling and relationship selling. These are crucial for building trust and rapport with your prospects. Ask better questions that demonstrate curiosity and empathy. Find out what truly matters to them and align your solutions accordingly.
Here’s your coaching moment: remember that selling isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about the people. When you engage with empathy and clarity, you’re not just selling a product; you’re providing a solution to their lifestyle dreams. Get in touch with their emotions, and your sales will soar. It’s time to step up your game.

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried about how this new property will fit into my budget with all the monthly payments."
Answer:
Let’s look at what you are currently spending on living expenses and see how it compares
Feedback:
The response begins to address the concern by suggesting a review of current living expenses, which is a good start to understanding the prospect's budget. However, it lacks depth and specificity in how it reassures the prospect about the new property fitting into their budget. It's critical to clearly outline potential financing options, payment scenarios, or long-term value to help alleviate their worries. Additionally, asking probing questions about their budget limits or specific worries would demonstrate curiosity and active listening. The communication could further benefit from a more empathetic tone, acknowledging their concern about monthly payments directly.

"Honestly, I'm really happy with my current place, and I'm not sure if moving is worth it right now."
Answer:
What is it that is lacking at your current place so we can determine the benefits of moving
Feedback:
The response attempts to pivot the conversation by asking the prospect to identify gaps in their current living situation, which is a good strategy to uncover potential needs. However, it could be more effective by first acknowledging the prospect's satisfaction with their current home to build rapport and show empathy. Additionally, adding questions about what they love about their current place could create a more balanced dialogue. This approach would help reinforce the value of considering a new property while demonstrating active listening and curiosity. Overall, the response lacks a strong connection to the emotional aspects of their happiness, which is essential in real estate sales.

/ 10Question:
"I've seen similar properties listed for less; how do we justify the price difference?"
Answer:
Let’s look at the neighborhood, updates, comps, age of roof and other major components to justify the value
Feedback:
The response starts to address the objection by suggesting a review of various factors that could justify the price difference, which is a positive step. However, it lacks depth in terms of articulating the unique value proposition of the property in question. It would be more effective to not only mention neighborhood comparisons and property updates but also to explain how these elements contribute to a higher overall value, such as increased long-term investment potential or superior quality. Additionally, the salesperson could show curiosity by asking questions about what the prospect values most in a property, which could guide the justification process more effectively. Overall, while the response touches on important aspects, it could be enhanced with a stronger focus on value exploration and proactive engagement with the prospect's concerns.

/ 10Question:
"What if I don't see value in this investment a year down the line?"
Answer:
Then we can sell, houses are steadily increasing in value here in this area year over year
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the prospect's concern by pointing out the steady increase in property values, which is a positive aspect to highlight. However, it falls short in several areas. Firstly, it lacks depth; simply stating that houses are increasing in value does not provide the prospect with a thorough understanding of the investment's potential. It would be more effective to offer specific data or examples of appreciation trends in the area, along with any factors that contribute to this growth. Secondly, the response could benefit from exploring the prospect's specific concerns about value, asking questions to better understand their worries and objectives. By doing so, the salesperson could demonstrate active listening and a customer-centric approach, building trust and rapport. Lastly, the tone of the response could be improved to be more empathetic, acknowledging the prospect's hesitations rather than jumping straight to a solution. Overall, a more detailed and personalized engagement would elevate the effectiveness of the response.

/ 10Question:
"There are so many options out there; how can I be sure yours is the best choice?"
Answer:
My years of experience and constant presence in the market back up my opinions and I’ve done all the research to be sure this is the best decision
Feedback:
The response attempts to leverage the salesperson's experience and research as a means to instill confidence in the prospect. However, it lacks specificity in how this experience translates into tangible benefits for the prospect. Instead of merely stating their qualifications, the salesperson should illustrate how their knowledge and research directly relate to the properties being offered. For instance, providing data on market trends, unique property features, or testimonials from satisfied clients could strengthen the argument. Additionally, the response does not engage with the prospect's concerns by asking questions to understand what specific options they are considering or what criteria they value most. A more effective approach would involve a deeper exploration of the prospect's needs, demonstrating curiosity, and aligning the property offerings with those needs. Overall, the response could benefit from a more collaborative and consultative tone, emphasizing value and engagement rather than just asserting expertise.

/ 10Question:
"My partner is not convinced this is the right time for us to buy; how can I persuade them?"
Answer:
Current research and market evaluations show that this is a great time to buy, start building equity in a home, less competition currently in the market and a great time to have the power to negotiate the best deal
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the concern by providing current market research and evaluations, which is a good approach to support the argument. However, it lacks an empathetic tone and does not acknowledge the partner's perspective or concerns explicitly. To be more persuasive, it would be beneficial to engage the prospect by asking questions to understand their partner's specific hesitations. Additionally, providing relatable examples or success stories of clients who bought at similar times could strengthen your argument. This response could also benefit from acknowledging the emotional aspect of making such a significant decision as a couple and encouraging a dialogue where both parties feel heard. Overall, a more personalized approach would enhance the effectiveness of the response.

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned that this property may not hold its value in the current economic climate."
Answer:
Homes in this area consistently increase 10-20% year over year, it will not only hold value but will increase
Feedback:
The response addresses the prospect's concern by citing a specific statistic about property appreciation, which is a positive step. However, it lacks depth and fails to acknowledge the broader context of the current economic climate that influences property values. It would be more effective to discuss how local economic factors, demand trends, or unique features of the property could contribute to its stability and potential for value increase. Additionally, asking the prospect about their specific concerns regarding value retention in this economic climate could demonstrate active listening and curiosity. Finally, providing supporting data or examples of historical performance in the neighborhood would enhance credibility and reassure the prospect more effectively. Overall, while the response contains relevant information, it could be strengthened by a more comprehensive and empathetic approach.

/ 10Question:
"I need more time to discuss this purchase with my family before making a decision."
Answer:
Absolutely let’s sit down and go over all the pros and cons, ill be glad to help answer any questions they may have as well
Feedback:
The response shows a willingness to engage and assist the prospect, which is positive. However, it lacks a deeper exploration of the prospect's situation and does not acknowledge the importance of their family’s input in the decision-making process. Instead of just offering to discuss pros and cons, the salesperson could ask questions to understand what specific concerns the family might have or what aspects they would like to discuss. This would demonstrate curiosity and active listening. Additionally, incorporating an empathetic tone that validates the need for discussion could build rapport and trust. Overall, while the intention to help is evident, the approach could benefit from a more collaborative and consultative style to better address the prospect's needs.

/ 10Question:
"What happens if I change my mind after committing to this deal?"
Answer:
Let’s talk about any concerns you have that would lead you to think you may change your mind. Should you decide on the end this isn’t the decision for you I can help you navigate your options at that time as well.
Feedback:
The response begins by inviting the prospect to share their concerns, which is a good approach to understanding their hesitations. However, it could be more effective by clearly outlining the process for handling changes of mind, such as discussing any contingencies or exit options available in the contract. Additionally, the tone could be more reassuring by emphasizing support and flexibility, which would help build trust. It would also benefit from asking more open-ended questions to explore the underlying reasons for the prospect's concerns. Overall, while the response shows initiative in addressing the objection, it lacks the clarity and conciseness needed to instill confidence in the prospect regarding their decision-making process.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve heard mixed reviews about your company; how can I trust that I’ll receive good service?"
Answer:
You aren’t hiring my company you are hiring me. I guarantee you will be more than satisfied with my service and if at any time you have an issue or concern I can’t resolve to your satisfaction I’ll gladly terminate our agreement and help you find someone else to help you. In my 30 years in sakes I’ve never had that happen snd will be glad to provide references for you to speak with if you like.
Feedback:
The response attempts to reassure the prospect by emphasizing personal accountability and offering a guarantee on service, which is a strong approach in building trust. However, it could be enhanced by addressing the prospect's specific concerns regarding mixed reviews more directly. Acknowledging that such reviews exist and providing context or explanations could demonstrate transparency. Additionally, instead of just stating that the salesperson has never faced dissatisfaction, they could share a brief story or example of a satisfied client to illustrate credibility. It's also a good practice to invite the prospect to ask questions or express any specific worries they have about the company, fostering a more collaborative dialogue. Overall, while the response shows confidence and commitment, incorporating empathetic engagement and storytelling could significantly strengthen the connection with the prospect.
