How To Build Strong Sales Skills – #TomFerryShow

February 23, 2016 Thousands of people come into real estate every year and nearly all of them, 87% according to NAR, leave the industry within 5 years. Working in real estate means that you must be a strong salesperson and the vast majority of those people leaving each year simply haven't taken the time to improve their sales skills. Being able to articulate your message in a way that builds trust and ultimately move people towards a decision will make you far more successful than nearly anything else you can spend your time on. Luckily for both new agents and veterans, sales skills can be improved with the right training!

The Training Plan for Building Strong Sales Skills

As a coaching and training organization we suggest practicing on your own and with role play partners, instead of on your clients and database which gets expensive fast.
Here’s the 5 step plan to improve your sales skills in less than 30 days.

1. Pick one script to master at a time

Start with the most common objection or scenario that you receive most and want to master

2. Spend 10-15 min a day reading the script out loud

Communication has 3 components; 7% is the words you say, 38% is your tonality and 55% is your body language
Stand in front of a mirror or video record yourself
See what the client is seeing and hearing

3. Find a few role playing partners

This is a great way to build confidence
Have more than one so you are able to practice interaction with different personalities and different objections

4. Write out the script once a day

When you write it down it helps you to better memorize the script
Memorization allows you to listen to the client rather than thinking about what to say next
Thought is the enemy of sales

5. Record the audio of you reading the script

Listening to the audio of the script in your own voice
This will trigger the passive learning process
