The Powerful Results Of Adding More Persuasion Into Your Listing Presentation
Competition is fierce in the real estate industry and you need to stand out among the competition. Many areas across the country are struggling with a decrease in housing inventory and if your listing presentation is lacking in persuasion, now is the time to spruce it up. Real estate agents successful in the art of persuasion usually have this trait.
Effective Listening
The number one way to persuade others is to start with effective listening. If you are looking for others to do something you want them to do, such as list their home with you, you need to be actively listening. If you’re not being an active and good listener don’t expect to land the listing. Show prospective sellers that you are interested in them by listening attentively and you will find that they are more open to hearing what it is you have to say.
Show Empathy
Selling a home is not always a positive situation for every seller. Those that need to sell their deceased loved one’s home, or are facing foreclosure, may need a little bit more empathy from you. You will find that those sellers who might not be facing a hardship may still need your empathy because many sellers develop an emotional attachment to their home - which tends to make it hard for them to decide to list their home for sale. Always reassure potential sellers that you are there for them and will be looking out for their best interest and will do everything you can to make the real estate transaction a positive one for them.
Adequate Questions
After you have shown a potential seller you can actively listen and show empathy, you want to follow up by asking adequate questions. This means asking the right questions to obtain more information and helping to influence them. Build a connection with them. Keep in mind that open-ended questions will allow the potential sellers to open up more. The more they talk, the more you will know, which will help you determine what you have to offer that is of most benefit to them. To persuade others effectively you need to be able to identify what it is you have to offer that they will benefit from.
The Value In Being Quiet
When there is a lull in the conversation you may feel the need to fill in the silence, but keep in mind that potential sellers may need that quiet time to collect their thoughts and analyze what you had to say. Allow some quiet time, then follow up with asking them if there are any questions they may have or something that you did not cover.
Close The Deal
Close the deal by always following through. That means calling when you say you will and returning their messages in a timely fashion.
