Section 3.1 – Phone Interview

THE APPROACH

Calling a FSBO

Some sellers will not answer the phone. They were often overwhelmed with the amount of calls. The best times are often 8-9 am, 4-6pm and about 8 pm. PRINT THE ATTACHMENT. Study it. Make notes on it. Teach it to a family member. But whatever you do, prepare yourself for the journey ahead.

When you dial their number, put them in your contacts so you know when they reach back to you, you recognize who they are. An example would be, “123 Wilson Rd 599k John Smith FSBO”.

Never let the pain of rejection dictate how you feel. It is assured you will get no thank you answers. Consider every NO a lesson. Consider it feedback. Think of it this way, you are not getting paid to take listings and service them, but rather you are getting paid 10k per month because you persevered.

Every single athlete that earns 1m or more a year, earned the paycheck on the practice field. Make sure you out-practice everyone else and you truly can earn 10k each month from this program. So we say…”I will persist. I will carry on. I will push past the pain. I will overcome fear. I see myself in possession of two new listings each month. I am not the person I used to be. I am the person I was meant to be.

The lesson is in the doing, not the reading. Let’s go forth and do it.
