Too many realtors make the mistake of taking advice from people who haven’t done what they want to do or letting negative self-talk and advice hinder their success. Here’s one agent who maintained a high level of positivity, started from zero, and closed 30 transactions in his first year going after expired's and FSBO's!
Episode Highlights:
- Guy experienced plenty of negative talk from those around him and himself
- Don’t tell too many people about what you are doing because that opens the door for negative input
- Ignore people unless they have something of value to give you
- Everyone has a script whether they are aware of it or not; make your script your own
- There are only 4-10 objections, you will just hear them phrased a thousand different ways
- The motivation on the call should be to get an appointment, not to get a listing, so there should be no objections
- 87% of real estate agents quit within their first 2 years in the industry
- Preparation and commitment are the best ways to make it through the exhaustion and rejection that come with being an agent
- You need to find something that will push you through those rough times
- Cold calling for sales by owner is one of Guy’s greatest weapons when growing his business
- No matter how much success you find, there will always be those calls where you fall flat on your face
- People will like you if you can be genuinely excited and differentiate yourself from all the other agents
- Make it about them and show what you can do to help solve their pain points
- Think long-game when you decide what strategy you want to utilize; don’t pivot multiple times in a month
- Establish an effective CRM or follow-up process to make sure you don’t lose potential clients who just aren’t ready right now
- Consistency is key when it comes to following up; stay top of mind and eventually they will come to you
- Build a relationship with these potential clients and that effort will only benefit you in the future
- Common objections that Guy hears regularly
- How to deal with people who are stalling by asking the right questions
- Make sure they know that your intentions are only good and avoid the scarcity mindset
- Surround yourself with people that know how to market and leverage their presence to get more opportunities
