Let’s cut to the chase: your performance here is lacking. An average score of 1.6 is not just below average; it’s a glaring red flag. You’re missing the mark on engaging with prospects and addressing their concerns head-on. Instead of brushing off their worries or providing vague responses, you need to dig deeper. Your responses show a lack of curiosity and empathy, which are critical in sales. You’re not just selling properties; you’re navigating emotional decisions and significant investments for your clients.
Here’s the deal: you need to focus on solution-oriented techniques. Start by mastering SPIN Selling and Solution Selling. These frameworks will help you ask the right questions and provide tailored responses that resonate with your prospects’ needs. Also, consider practicing your objection handling techniques; you need to learn how to acknowledge fears rather than dismiss them.
Remember, every prospect has a story. Don’t just hear them; listen. Engage with their concerns and reinforce trust. You have the potential to turn this around, but it’s going to take some serious commitment to improvement. Your coaching moment? "Engagement is the key to connection. If you’re not connecting, you’re not selling." Get to work!

"I'm worried that the current market conditions might lead to buying a property that doesn't hold its value over time."
Answer:
I would decline buying any property for the time being or buy the one that are necessary and would sell no matter the condition of the market
Feedback:
Your response lacks engagement and fails to address the prospect's concern adequately. A more effective approach would involve acknowledging their worries about market conditions and exploring alternatives or solutions that could mitigate risks. Instead of suggesting a blanket decline, ask questions to understand their specific needs and provide insights on how to identify properties with strong value retention in varying market conditions. This would also help build rapport and trust.
Moreover, there is a lack of curiosity and discovery in your response; consider asking follow-up questions to better understand their situation.
Overall, the answer does not demonstrate an understanding of the market or provide reassurance to the prospect.

"What if I invest in this property and then I realize I could have gotten a better deal elsewhere?"
Answer:
You have already invested maybe next time
Feedback:
Your response fails to effectively address the prospect's concern about potential regret over the investment. Instead of dismissing their worry, you should acknowledge it and explore their motivations and criteria for comparison. A better approach would include asking them about their specific needs and what they consider a 'better deal.' This would also demonstrate your commitment to helping them make a well-informed decision. Overall, your answer lacks engagement and does not build rapport with the prospect.

"I need to ensure that the homes I'm considering meet my family's needs, but I'm not sure I have the time to explore all the options."
Answer:
I would take my time for the best suitable options, no rushing
Feedback:
Your response does not adequately address the prospect's concern about time constraints in finding a suitable home for their family. While you mention taking time to explore options, it lacks engagement and does not show understanding of the prospect’s urgency. A more effective approach would involve acknowledging their time limitations and offering to provide a shortlist of properties that specifically meet their family's needs. Additionally, ask questions to uncover what those needs are, which would demonstrate curiosity and enhance rapport. Overall, your answer lacks a solution-focused approach and does not actively listen to the prospect's perspective.

/ 10Question:
"How do I know that this property won't come with unexpected maintenance costs down the line?"
Answer:
Majority of properties come with little or much maintenance which is based on the quality and nature of the property
Feedback:
Your response lacks depth and does not directly address the prospect's concern about unexpected maintenance costs. While you mention that maintenance varies, it would be more effective to acknowledge their concern and provide specific strategies to mitigate this risk, such as advising them to request a home inspection or researching the property's history. Additionally, asking questions to understand their specific needs could enhance engagement and demonstrate your commitment to their interests. Overall, your response needs to be more solution-focused and should actively listen to the prospect's perspective.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve heard mixed reviews about the neighborhood; how do I know it’s a good investment?"
Answer:
I would make proper enquires in the neighborhood before taking the next step as soon as possible
Feedback:
Your response indicates a proactive approach to gathering information, which is positive. However, it lacks depth and does not adequately address the prospect's concern about mixed reviews regarding the neighborhood. Instead of simply stating that you would make inquiries, you should acknowledge their concerns and provide specific ways to evaluate the neighborhood, such as researching crime rates, local amenities, school ratings, or community feedback. Additionally, consider asking questions to understand what specific aspects of the neighborhood are important to the prospect. This would demonstrate a more solution-focused and customer-centric approach, fostering trust and engagement.

Answer:
Thinking twice sometimes in investments is bad for business it's better to watch and make your finances toooest priority
Feedback:
Your response lacks sensitivity and fails to directly address the prospect's concern about financial stability. Instead of dismissing their worries about the investment, it would be more effective to acknowledge their anxiety and offer reassurance. You could discuss the importance of financial planning and suggest strategies for making informed decisions, such as consulting a financial advisor or analyzing their budget. Additionally, asking them about their financial goals or any specific concerns they have could enhance engagement and demonstrate that you’re listening to their needs. Overall, your answer does not build rapport or provide a solution-focused response to their concern.

"What if my partner and I can't agree on this property, and we end up wasting time?"
Answer:
Decision making is meant to be accurate by a client
Feedback:
Your response is vague and does not effectively address the prospect's concern about potential disagreement with their partner. Instead of stating a general principle about decision-making, you should acknowledge the emotional dynamics of making a joint decision in real estate. A more effective approach would include asking questions about what specific aspects of the property are most important to both partners, or suggesting a collaborative approach to evaluate options together. This would demonstrate your understanding of the situation and help alleviate their concerns. Overall, your answer lacks engagement and does not foster a supportive dialogue.

/ 10Question:
"My friends are telling me to wait for a better deal; how do I justify moving forward now?"
Answer:
If am sure too that it's a bad deal I would decline
Feedback:
Your response is overly simplistic and does not address the prospect's concern about justifying a purchase in light of their friends' advice to wait. It lacks engagement and fails to provide any rationale for why moving forward might be beneficial. Instead, consider acknowledging their hesitation and discussing the potential advantages of acting now, such as current market conditions, unique property features, or potential appreciation. Additionally, asking questions to understand their specific concerns or criteria for a "better deal" could enhance your approach, demonstrating curiosity and a desire to engage with the prospect's situation more thoughtfully.

"Can you explain how this property's features really add value compared to similar listings in the area?"
Answer:
Maybe the nature of the structures and location
Feedback:
Your response is vague and does not effectively explain how the property's features add value. Instead of offering a specific comparison, you should clearly articulate the unique features of the property, such as its architectural design, amenities, or location advantages. Providing concrete examples or data to substantiate your claims can help clarify its value. Additionally, asking follow-up questions to understand what the prospect values in a property could enhance engagement and demonstrate your commitment to meeting their needs.

"I’m feeling overwhelmed with the documentation process; is there any support available to help me through this?"
Answer:
Make proper enquires from the front desk for accuracy
Feedback:
Your response does not adequately address the prospect's feeling of being overwhelmed with the documentation process. Simply suggesting they make inquiries from the front desk lacks empathy and does not provide the support they are seeking. A more effective response would involve acknowledging their concern and offering specific assistance, such as personal guidance through the documentation process, providing resources, or connecting them with a dedicated support team. Additionally, asking them about their specific challenges with the documentation could demonstrate your willingness to help and engage with their needs more effectively.
