Step 3. Build trust by asking the right questions

Owners don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Rather than worrying about how good you are at closing, or whether you’ll get the appraisal range wrong, focus on understanding what your client is trying to achieve. Then, provide tips and advice specific to their situation.

Step 4. Surprise them with the Agent Scoring Matrix

Demonstrate confidence and help your owners make the right decision by sending them the Agent Scoring Matrix soon after your meeting.

The magic of the agent scoring matrix is that it provides equal importance to all aspects of a salesperson’s proposal, not just commission rate and appraisal range.

Step 5. How to keep in touch

If they don't need to sell straight away, have a plan to keep in touch without being pushy. The key is to add value at all times.

Convert potential sellers to listings using Agent Monday content
Potential sellers ideally need more regular communication than your general database. If someone is close to making a major real estate decision then you should be emailing them useful info at least once per week and following up with a phone call every 2-4 weeks.
