Noticed how it’s all WE and OUR
NO WONDER YOU ARE LOSING LISTINGS .. these agents are talking about themselves and what it means to the house seller
Its … “we do this” ….and “this is what it means to you”ie its ‘lets us give you a fact’ then ‘try and get emotional buy in’
That is the technique 99% of estate agents use… but many of you arent getting buy in from this technique .. are you?
You arent getting the fee you want?
You are losing the listings to the competition
They might be nodding on the sofa, but don’t commit. You are dropping on the house seller all your USP’s and expecting them to say .. “Where do I sign? ….
It’s because you might be getting buy in on a logical level .. but not emotional buy in.
… and people buy on emotion – not logic
So, let me share with you a solution
Try this ….
Just change the order you say things in. Tell them “Why they need it” and then “How it works”.
It’s very subtle and it goes something like this…
“The housing market has less buyers because less people are moving. As you need to get top dollar and quickly because you are moving to the posh part town and need every penny to enable you to get your child into to the nice Primary school for September .. you are going to need an agent that squeeze every last penny out the limited number of buyers out there. To ensure we cant get you moved, for top dollar and get your little one into the school, what we do at xyz agency is we have a bespoke Facebook campaign that puts your house in front of people who arent even looking with a new Facebook Optimiser package. You see every agent relies on Rightmove and the normal channels to find buyers, as we do as well, yet we are like the Heineken of agents .. because on top of the normal channels to reach buyers (ie Rightmove , Zoops etc) also reach the buyers other agents cant reached with our unique Facebook strategy … only last week, we had a lovely 4 bed house in the nice development down the road, and with our unique Facebook search algorithm, we found a buyer for someone who wasn’t to planning to move for 6 months, but because it came up on their time line on Facebook (because our unique fancy Facebook thinggee) .. we found a buyer that no other agent could off … because the person themselves didn’t even know they were looking until they saw it …. That’s why we are the Heineken agent … because we find buyers others simply cant reach"
You have got to start with the emotion first and then logic afterwards.
