You’ve shown a solid understanding of the sales process and have effectively applied various techniques, especially in addressing concerns and highlighting value. Your strengths lie in your ability to communicate reassurance and build trust, particularly when discussing support services and property advantages. However, there's a consistent pattern where you miss opportunities for deeper engagement. Each response could benefit significantly from follow-up questions. This is crucial in sales — it's not just about what you say, but how you listen and respond to the prospect's unique situation.
To take your skills to the next level, I recommend focusing on consultative selling and objection handling techniques. These will help you engage prospects more effectively and navigate their concerns with greater depth.
Remember, every conversation is a chance to uncover more about your prospect's needs. Think of it like this: the best salespeople are not just problem solvers but also curious detectives. So, as you move forward, challenge yourself to ask one more question in every discussion. This will not only enhance your rapport but also lead to more tailored solutions for your prospects. Keep pushing for that higher score; you’re on the right track!

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about the overall cost of this property compared to similar listings in the area."
Answer:
I completely understand your concern. What sets this property apart is its location, amenities, and investment potential. While there may be lower-priced listings, they often don’t offer the same long-term value or features. I’d be happy to walk you through a comparison so you can see how this one stacks up.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the prospect's concern effectively, indicating an understanding of their perspective. It highlights differentiating factors such as location and amenities, which is pertinent in real estate. However, the response could benefit from asking a follow-up question to further engage the prospect and uncover specific comparisons they have in mind. Active listening could be improved by directly addressing the specific concerns about cost, rather than generalizing about value. Overall, a good start but lacks depth in exploring the prospect's unique situation.

Every neighborhood has a mix, and it’s smart to ask. What’s important is that this particular property has been well maintained and possibly upgraded, which sets it apart from others nearby.
