This is a practical. No fluff breakdown you can use immediately to book more buyer appointments. Good morning. Good morning. Somebody tell me something good. Tell you something good, Dan. I got a text at 6.30 a.m. from one of my investor friends looking at a property in Amosville, Virginia. So we're going to check it out. Amosville, Virginia. I like everything about that comment except for him is good place. That's the way he's out there, isn't it?

Yeah, it's about 20 minutes past Washington. I have a couple of friends that have properties there. It's a nice area, Rappahannock County. It's expensive, though. All right. Who's next? Somebody, tell me something good. I sent you this offer summary for Ware Street.

Did you see me? No, I have not, but thank you for letting me know that. I like that's something good. That's definitely something good. Offer summary. Thank you. All right. Let's talk about real estate sales.

So I want to go over scriptural role play today, and I want to go over the process of getting a buyer specifically. And so I want to start with the phone call. So there's different ways that we get leads and we all have different business strategies, that type of thing. And so some of us may be getting online leads to maybe get somebody from an open house. Maybe it's a referral. Maybe you're like Rachel, you know, you're plumbing a neighbor.

Whatever the case may be, it always starts with a conversation. That conversation, regardless of how it got referred to you or how you found the prospect, should always start with a very simple, hey, it's Dan, Bruce. shop, one ABC real estate or EXP real estate. I was calling you the codeos. I see that you're in the market to buy a home. Are you in the market to buy a home? And it's a very simple. You may tweak that a little bit depending on the lead source. So that's where we're going to start. All right. So I did two embedded commands in that script. And so I want for you to practice that. And we're going to walk through the entire drone as far as we can get. So Kelly, call me, ring, ring.

You're calling me. Hey, Dan. Yes. Hey, it's Kelly. Here's some local realtor with the EXP. I saw you. are searching for homes online. Are you in the market to buy a home? Okay. Rachel. Ring, Rang. Hello. This is Rachel Rangelho with the XP Realty, and I saw you were looking for some homes online. Are you in the market to buy a home? Great back. Gary Deg.

Ring, Rang. Hello. Now speak to Dan. Hey, Dan, this is Harvey Pellee with EXP Realty. I saw you searching for a few homes online. I was wondering, are you in the market to buy a home? I am. James Shild. Bring me. Who? Is this Dan? This is James with NICT Realty.

So you were in the market, searching for some homes. Are you in the market of my home? All right. Good job. Let's rock and roll. Now, what I did not do there was I didn't play the rapport game with you, but many of you actually did a really, really good job. So I should have started with that. So if we're starting from zero, that's really where I should have started, which is mirror and match, my tonality, my word, my pitch, my tenor, the volume of the volume of.

my words, et cetera, as we're talking. Okay, so we want to practice being in rapport with each other. So the first thing on a phone call that's important to you is being rapport. Now, what's the definition of rapport? So I actually started like a step too far. So I'm going to backtrack here. So what is the definition of rapport? Who's got that for us?

The connection and energy. A rapport is a connection of energy. All right? And so to remember that, you have to acknowledge that we are spiritual beings manifested in the human condition. And so as we're spiritual beings in a human condition, that you have to understand that when you and I connect in our energy, that's spiritual being that exists within us, that is actually, I wouldn't even say within us, it is when our spirits intertwined, that's a connection of energy and that's the definition of rapport. For us to be able to do that, you have to be able to pin the tension, you have to be able to sync with the other person, and you have to be intentional to be in rapport. So the event, first thing on any conversation, whether if it's law and life, whether it's on the phone, if it's on a video, whatever the case might be, I want you to remind yourself to say, my job, my goal is to be in rapport.

And just simply reminding yourself to do that will allow for you to get in the report quicker. Makes sense, everybody? Great. So then we make the call ring ring. Hello? Hello? Say the same word back. Same tenor, same tone, same pitch, etc.

It's Dan, Roshan, yada, yada, yada. So we got through that. Now, what to say next? because 99 out of 100 times, the answer to that question that you just said is going to be no. So then what do you say next? Now, this is the key ingredient. Well, the rapport is really the key ingredient, but this is the next ingredient. They're all key ingredients.

When they're showing no, then what you say is, I understand. I'm just curious, if you could buy right now, would you? So the key ingredient in dinner is the phrase, if you could buy right now, would you? And you don't conflict with them, you don't confront with them, right? You just simply align with them. Hey, salesperson, are you struggling to close deals or struggling to gain trust? Or are you struggling to create consistent, predictable income? I'm Dan Roshan.

You're going to call me again. You're going to match my home. words, you're going to match the pace of my words, whatever I say, however I say. I'm going to say no, and then you're going to say, if you could buy right now with you. You guys all ready for that? All right. Harvey Pay and getting your call. Ring ring.

Hey. Hey. Hey, man. I speak to Dan. Hey, Dan, this is Harvey Penn with XP Realty. I saw that you were online looking at homes. I was just curious. Are you in the market to buy a home? Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm not. I just look at it.

I definitely understand that. Just out of curiosity, if you were able to buy right now, I was just out of curiosity, right now, would you? Good job. Kelly. Ring, ring. Hello. Hello. There? All right, Dallas, before we move on, really, truck. Kelly did, like, the hollow, like, my aloo with hollow, and he matched that perfectly. Hello? Right. So you're looking at, like, how's the words coming out of your posture? Nothing they are recommended you. I've been recommended this for almost 20 years, and I don't think

anybody has ever taken any help on that. But I'm going to keep recommending it. When you're working and you're making calls, you should be standing, okay? And the reason why you should be standing is because like right now, staying in a call, it's like the worst position than I could be in because my lungs are collapsed. I'm in a confined spot. You want, if you're when you're standing, you want to be able to expand your lungs.

You want to be able to get air through your vocal pipe. And then you're going to have a better energy as well so that you can then approach and connect with somebody with the energy when you're standing. All right. So let's start over. Good job, Kelly. Call me again. Kelly won't keep going.

Brigham. Hey. Hey. Hey, Dan. Yes, Dan. Hey, Kelly, Houston. here, local realtor with EXP, so that you were searching for homes online. Dan, are you in the market to buy a home? Yeah, I'm not. Just looking right now. I'm not really looking. Thank you.

Oh, yeah, I understand. Dan, let me ask you if you're able to buy now, would you consider? Well, I mean, I would, but my credit sucks. Boom, boom, boom, go on. Good job, Callie. Rachel got it. Ring, Ray. Hello? Hello. This is Rachel Rajala with EXP Realty. I thought you were looking at some homes online. Are you in the market to buy a home? No, I just sort of, you know, poking around. That's understandable. There's a lot to look out there.

If you could buy, would you buy? Good job. I would improve that just a little bit, so you could have, like, hit me back with the pin around, right, to stay. And I know you're going with the trick, which is what I'm asking to do. So great job. Just also, like, use opportunities. Oh, you're just poking around.

I understand. I'm not curious. I mean, if you could buy right now, would you? Right. So good job, Rachel, really, really good job. Kelly did a really good extra thing there, acknowledge him. that you may want to consider local, well, he actually is a local relator. It would be realtor, like actor. I actually a real estate agent. So, and Roshan, local real estate agent. You know,

so that's good. And it is realtor, by the way. Either way. So let's go to the next. Welcome, good morning. Next to see you. Kat. You turn. Good morning, Wring. Hello. Hello. Is this Dan? Good, no, I'm a man. Hi, this is Kat. Kat. I saw you looking at homes. Are you in the market to buy a home? No, I've just poking around. Okay, just poking around, I understand. Now, I'm just curious, if you were to buy a home, I mean... You could. Keep going, keep going, you going.

You're going to buy a home, would you? I would actually buy a home with you, Kat. All right, good job. Okay, we had the phone call. So now what the intention of that phone call? Book the next appointment for a video call or face-to-face. I love it. I love it. There's two intentions, so the intention before the intention, that is the real intention, right?

But before you get to the real intention, we want to do it. identify motivation and means. Okay. So there's like a two-step intention. Intention number one, what's their motivation and can they actually buy? Focus number two is book the video appointment. So there's a two-step process of what you're intending to do. So now we identify the motivation, you identify the mean. A lot of times, particularly if you do an online lead, the motivation's going to be there sort of, but the means won't be. Okay. And so you still want to be willing to ask questions like if you bought a home before, do you have money saved up for a downpillar? Hey, man, those types of questions.

The more comfortable you are asking those types of questions, the more trust that they're going to gain in you, right? So sometimes people, agents aren't comfortable asking those questions because it seems intrusive. Well, that would be the same as if you go to the doctor's office and you have a sore throat. And they say, well, I'm not comfortable asking any questions to diagnose the problem, right? Like you wouldn't trust that doctor, right? If they just said, hey, here's a pill, take this. And they don't even ask you any questions. Does that make sense to you guys?

All right, cool. All right, so make sure that you're comfortable to be the professional same way that the doctor would be. I just want to say you guys are freaking amazing. I love you to death. And thank you for being here. I've tried to hand Monday. I'll see you guys on Monday. Peace out.
