Sales Scripts
 

— Script Building —
The most frequently asked question by real estate salespersons attending my courses is
'What do I say when...?'

The salespersons know the law and/or procedures, but often grope for a way to explain things to clients without (1) confusing them with more than they wanted or needed to know or (2) scaring
them away from the transaction.

Scripts are a great way to bridge the gap that often exists between what the salesperson knows and what the client needs to know. Scripts should be customized by the individual so that personality is reflected in the statement(s), but a standard statement, phrase or expression can be a useful source
of inspiration.

Below are listed some of the standard script basic statements, phrases and expressions that have proved useful over the years.
