It’s the moment of truth.
You’ve got that prospect on the phone or face-to-face sitting across from you.

When we start marketing your home… You are setting the expectations and showing how you are different from the competition.
During the negotiation process… When you set this assumption early on, you are demonstrating to your prospects the confidence you have to negotiate their deal.
After we sell your home for top dollar… This is another fantastic phase that works well over the phone for a prospect or even a FSBO!
When you… CHOOSE ME… to represent you… You’ll see why we have so many 5-star reviews… If you are an old-school NLP sales and influence practitioner, you might recognize “CHOOSE ME” (with a pause before and after) as an embedded command. This also demonstrates crucial social proof.
When you find your dream home… the real reason you… SELECT ME… kicks in. This one implies two crucial messages: first, you will select me and second, I will find your dream home.
While we’re finding your dream home… This sentence is a perfect introduction for a benefit you will be offering to your customers.

The “yes” is your mindset and when you practice the examples above, you set yourself up for the win!
