all right you can screw up every other sales skill but

if you get this one down it will be a lot easier for you to convert the leads

that you're getting right now into actual appointments

and then most importantly it'll be a lot easier for you to close

and enroll new clients

so i want to talk about the number one sales skill

for you to really focus on this year all right doesn't matter

if you're in real estate sales

or you sell something else we're going to focus primarily today in today's video on real estate sales specifically

but this would pertain to any salesperson out there all right

so i want to talk about what we already know about human beings you see

when we think about selling what is it

that has to occur for a sale to be made well we already know

that requires a human being to change to go from what they're doing today to doing something different

So this is human behavior and we're talking about humans making a change.

Well, what do we know about people in their decision making process?

Yes, we already know that people make decisions either to avoid pain or to get closer to pleasure.

We already know that's where the bulk of their motivation comes from.

However, how do they actually get down to the decision to do or to not do something?

Well, there's really what we would call the three rules of influence.

And here's where most untrained salespeople make a lot of mistakes.

And we'll talk a lot about that in today's episode.

So number one, people in general don't believe what you,

the salesperson, tells them.

Because of what we already know, which is perceived bias.

They believe that everything that you tell them that they should do,

you're doing so for your benefit, not for theirs.

Even if they were to benefit,

most people can't see it because of that perceived bias.

You're the salesperson.

You're the one who's going to benefit from what it is that you're saying.

So therefore, I put this defensive wall up and I don't believe what you say.

That's rule number one.

Rule number two is people more times than not will believe what other people tell them.

So like a third party validation or a third party referral, right?

That's why the power of referrals works so well.

Hey, listen, I worked with this service provider before.

He or she did an awesome job.

That helps people get to some type of decision.

But nothing comes close to rule number three,

which is people always believe what they tell themselves.

And so in other words,

what we're going to uncover or unpack in today's episode is this whole idea of what psychologists call self-persuasion.

How do we as salespeople ask questions in a way that help the prospect discover their reasons for change,

not your reasons for why they should change.

That's a massive difference because good salespeople ask questions that help them to learn about the prospect.

But listen closely.

Great salespeople ask questions to help prospects learn about themselves.

So the whole idea, the whole foundation of the reverse selling methodology

and what we're going to talk about in today's video is how do you form the questions in which you ask?

Because we all know we've got to ask great questions.

Well, what does that mean?

What makes up a good question versus a bad question?

What type of questions can you ask that would elicit this self persuasion.

Where in other words, you're getting the prospect

to verbalize their own reasons for why they should

or should not do something rather than you imposing your reasons on why they should

or should not do something so let me give you an example

because we're talking to mostly real estate agents today what we

often see is with the the the mainstream scripts out there that have been used for 30,

40, 50 years.

These are all questions that,

when asked, elicit a lot of rejection,

a lot of pushback, a lot of what I would call psychological reactance.

You're met with a lot of friction.

Why?

Because the questions that we're being asked to ask are all designed to,

well, elicit your benefit.

Right.

So things like, listen, with the market being the way that it is,

up or up or down, doesn't matter.

It would probably make more sense for you to sell now versus wait.

That is an that is a script or a language pattern,

rather, that comes across for the salesperson's benefit.

That would be the salesperson coming up with their reason on why the prospect should do something.

and nobody likes to be told what to do.

The second that we feel that our freedom to choose is at risk,

psychological reactance goes up.

That's the resistance you're often met with a lot of these scripts

that are floating around out there in the real estate world.

So we need to ask questions that are what we would call of Socratic nature.

So when we ask a question that is based around the Socratic method,

we ask questions that are solely designed to get the prospects to think

and to verbalize their own reasons for change without the perceived bias,

without the risk for eliciting psychological reactance.

How do we do this?

Well, one of the things we can do is we can ask questions

that are perceived in a way that are against the salesperson's best interest.

So let me give you a really, really good example.

Most real estate people, most real estate salespeople,

most real estate agents, when they're communicating with somebody who's thinking about selling their home,

are all presenting the reasons on why the prospect should sell the home.

So most people we talk to are ambivalent.

Meaning they've got a reason in their mind of why they should do something

and they've got a reason in their mind of why they should not.

And all too often, the eager real estate salesperson who's paid on commission that the prospect are all aware of,

they're making the case for why the prospects should do something now.

They're giving them all these creative reasons on why the prospect should sell now.

And these are all what we talked about,

100

the salesperson's reasons for why the prospect should change.

101

And when we do that,

102

we have to defend the status quo,

103

we being the consumer in that example.

104

So if a salesperson says,

105

hey, here's why you should do something now,

106

all that that does is elicit all of the reasons why the prospect should not.

107

And the salesperson is to blame.

108

The salesperson is at fault because we are responsible for how prospects respond to us.

109

So if you're getting a lot of pushback,

110

you're getting a lot of resistance,

111

you're getting a lot of objections that are difficult to respond to,

112

most likely it's how in which you're communicating that is eliciting that type of response.

113

So what do we do instead?

114

So rather than present an argument for why the prospect maybe should do something,

115

we're going to do the exact opposite.

116

All right, this is all backed by research.

117

This is all backed by science.

118

This is all backed by human psychology.

119

And so So when we speak in terms of potentially in a way that would go against your interest,

120

prospects don't resist because they don't feel any perceived threat that you're trying to just close a deal or sell them something.

121

Let me give you a great example.

122

So let's go back to the example we just talked about.

123

Rather than you giving a homeowner all these reasons for why they should sell now because of rates,

124

because of home values, whatever else you can come up with,

125

why not present a case for the status quo?

126

Why not ask a question to the prospect that is of Socratic nature and we say,

127

Mr. Prospect, what's wrong with where you live now?

128

Now think about that for a second.

129

Every one of your competitors,

130

maybe even yourself, have tried to come up with some type of fancy script to get that appointment,

131

to get that person to list their house with you,

132

to meet with you now.

133

And you're maybe the first person who presents a case for the status quo.

134

You present a case for why the prospect should do nothing.

135

Well, what do we know?

136

Let's go back to what we just talked about a minute ago.

137

It's almost like this teeter-totter, okay?

138

What happens is when you present an argument for why the prospect should do something,

139

they argue why they should not.

140

So what do we know about reverse psychology?

141

What do we know about self-persuasion?

142

If we present the case for why they should not,

143

this gets the person to verbalize their reasons for why they should.

144

That is how you get the prospects to verbalize their reasons for change,

145

not your reasons for change.

146

So let's go back to the question.

147

Mr. Prospect, well, I mean,

148

I'm looking at the property right now.

149

It looks like a beautiful home.

150

You're in a great neighborhood.

151

What's wrong with where you're at now?

152

Can you just stay put?

153

Well, Brandon, we'd love to stay put,

154

but reason one, reason two,

155

reason three, reason four, now who's doing the selling?

156

Now the prospect is verbalizing to themselves all of the reasons why they,

157

in this case, should make the move.

158

Well, we've got to get something bigger.

159

We've got to get something smaller.

160

The baby is due.

161

I'm going through a divorce.

162

We're going through a job transfer.

163

We want to get the kids in another school district by this time frame.

164

We love it here, but here are all the reasons why I can't stay here.

165

You're the first salesperson who's presented a case

166

that would go against your interest or the perceived interest because what do you want?

167

You want a listing.

168

You told them to stay put.

169

That's one way to do that.

170

Okay, let me give you another example.

171

So when we're prospecting, we're calling expired listings for sale by owners,

172

probates, absentee owners, just listed just sold calls.

173

We're trying to make a case for why this person should meet with us.

174

We're trying to set the appointment.

175

This is what I've been asking you to do for the last 10 years, right?

176

Well, there's a way in which to do it

177

that would allow you to get more prospects to do exactly what it is that is in their best interest,

178

which is to perhaps meet with you.

179

When you are presenting all the reasons why they should meet with you,

180

what's happening to you often?

181

They're giving you reasons of why they can't.

182

They're giving you pushback.

183

They're giving you objections.

184

You're met with all of that.

185

I hear it every single day.

186

Well, what have you learned in this video that we could do differently?

187

What if we said, listen,

188

Mr. Prospect, I don't know if it makes sense or not,

189

but what benefit, if any,

190

would there be in you and I getting together for 15,

191

20 minutes and looking at a plan

192

that would cause your property to actually sell at a price that works for you or more?

193

what benefit if any would there be in you

194

and i potentially getting together for 15 20 minutes

195

and having a conversation now instead of what i think a

196

lot of people are asking you to do in this industry is well let's get together

197

because of this this this and this

198

and this prospect says nope i'm not interested i gotta talk to my spouse they're just being polite

199

and trying to get you off the phone,

200

what we're going to do is we're going to use language that would support the prospect's autonomy to choose for themselves.

201

What benefit, if any?

202

Well, I'm not saying we're going to meet,

203

Brandon, but if we did meet,

204

I guess it would be nice to meet with a real estate agent who can actually get the property sold.

205

Because I'll tell you what,

206

the last two agents that we had gave us a bunch of BS and here we are,

207

property's been on the market for nine and a half months and it's still not sold.

208

That's the prospect's reasons.

209

You've done a great job asking Socratic style questions to elicit self-persuasion,

210

getting the prospect to verbalize their reasons for doing something,

211

not your reasons for doing something.

212

Okay.

213

Let me give you a couple more examples.

214

Okay.

215

What about when we look at timelines?

216

So a lot of people are,

217

again, trying to get prospects to do something now because you want to get a listing and you want to get paid.

218

I understand.

219

Prospects know that too.

220

That's why they resist you most of the time.

221

So if you want to talk about timelines,

222

maybe you ask a question like this.

223

Listen, if you were presented with an offer with a price

224

that works for you or more with all the terms that made sense,

225

I mean, what issues would that cause if any?

226

What issues would that cause, if any?

227

Because we're trying to get the prospect,

228

this is a no-oriented question.

229

Well, I mean, that wouldn't cause any issues.

230

That's exactly what we're trying to do.

231

We're trying to get out of here as soon as possible.

232

It's them verbalizing all of their reasons,

233

and then it only makes sense for us to take the next step.

234

Well, if you're looking to move right away,

235

which is what it sounds like you guys want to do,

236

if you want, and I'm happy to do so,

237

but it's totally up to you.

238

Be happy to get together with you one day this week.

239

We could take a look at a couple of things that would cause your home to actually sell.

240

And then listen, I mean,

241

let's not make each other any promises.

242

You can decide after our meeting if working together with me makes sense or not.

243

Is that reasonable?

244

right and so when we start to approach our sales conversation in a way

245

that gets the prospect to start verbalizing their own motivation for buying

246

or selling a house rather than trying to pressure them using

247

our reasons i think what you will find is not only do the conversations get much much better,

248

but you start dealing with a lot less rejection, a lot less resistance.

249

Your hesitation to prospecting and calling your leads actually starts to dissipate

250

because you're not having to deal with all of the conflict

251

that you're probably dealing with right now in your lead generation or your lead conversion efforts.

252

And so if you want more help with this and you want to see kind of how these language patterns come together,

253

I'm going to put a link right in the description,

254

download my brand new script book,

255

you can kind of see some of this stuff come together.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
