Overcoming Objections: A Guide for Better Sales

Being a successful salesperson in the real estate industry is all about being proactive in the sales process, understanding the priorities of your seller, and addressing any future opposition proactively. However, even when everything is done correctly, objections can still occur. It's essential to uncover and overcome any objections to ensure that you're making progress with your seller. This blog post will explore common seller objections and how to handle them using the techniques outlined in Overcoming Objections.

Objection 1: "We have to think about it." This objection is often a smokescreen for a deeper concern. Your job is to dig deeper and find out what's really going on. You can handle this objection in two ways using the methods from Overcoming Objections. Firstly, you can acknowledge their need to think about it and ask if there's anything else that's stopping them from moving forward. Secondly, you can ask them to tell you more about their concern, following the pattern of repeating, affirming, isolating, and handling the objection.

Objection 2: "We have other agents to interview." When a seller says they have other agents to interview, it's important to stay calm and confident. Remind the seller of the unique value you bring to the table and why you're the best fit for their needs. Ask if they have any concerns or questions about your experience, track record, or marketing plan, using the tips from Overcoming Objections.

Objection 3: "The other agent says that they can get more money." When a seller says that another agent can get them more money, it's essential to remind them of the importance of pricing their home correctly. Explain your pricing strategy and provide data to support your approach, using the techniques outlined in Overcoming Objections. Also, remind the seller of the unique value you bring to the table, such as your marketing plan, experience, and negotiation skills.

Objection 4: "Will you list it for less of a commission?" When a seller asks you to list their home for less commission, it's important to understand their reasoning, as discussed in Overcoming Objections. Is it because they believe they can save money? Or is it because they don't understand the value you bring to the table? Explain the services you provide and the unique value you bring to the table. Show them how working with you can save them money in the long run, using the techniques outlined in Overcoming Objections.

Objection 5: "I have a friend/ aunt/ uncle/ neighbor/ golf partner who is an agent." When a seller says they know someone who's an agent, it's important to remind them that this is a significant financial transaction, and it's crucial to work with someone who has experience and expertise, using the tips from Overcoming Objections. Explain your qualifications, track record, and marketing plan. Emphasize the importance of trust and rapport in the client-agent relationship.

In conclusion, objections are an inevitable part of the sales process. However, by being proactive, understanding your seller's priorities, and addressing any future opposition proactively, as outlined in Overcoming Objections, you can minimize the number of objections you encounter. When objections do arise, remember to repeat, affirm, isolate, and handle the objection using the techniques outlined in Overcoming Objections. With these strategies in mind, you'll be well-equipped to overcome objections and become a better salesperson.
