Description
On today's episode, Matt and Garrett talk about the difference between a good salesman and a marketer, the importance of relationships in realty, and how to build social proof. The pair open up the conversation today by recalling how they built strong relationships to stimulate each of their careers. That’s not to say that’s all it took though. On the other side of the coin, selling a clear service, differentiating yourself from the pack, and displaying your value are also necessary components to become a successful salesperson. More often than not, though, the relationships you make along the way are going to be more valuable than even your selling ability. The greater the social proof you are able to build, the more referrals and new clients you will pick up going forward. Matt and Garrett go on to talk about the negative stereotype that dominates the industry. In a business associated with trickery and money grabbing, strong relationships are all the more important. The duo draws this episode to a close with final remarks on market clarity. So while, absolutely, maintaining strong, loyal relationships in the realty industry is paramount, so is doing your job well and letting your clients know that. Episode Highlights: The importance of building strong relationships Being in flow with you Why relationships outweigh service Building social proof Different agent roles Pushy salesmen stereotype Sales v. marketing The value of market clarity Quotes: “You can't sell homes until you sell your service. You cannot sell homes until you sell yourself and actually have homes to sell. And that's on the listing side if we get very specific in terms of how we want to qualify selling. But first and foremost, this is a service based business. This is a people based business.” “If there's a tie or a close point of competition on the service, likely the relationship will win out on that one.” “So we have to figure out how to quote, sell, or describe the value proposition of our service outside that venue as well.” “This is where I was going back to being strong in both of these categories may not win over that relationship in that moment in time, but the two combined will win the referral, I think, almost every time.” “The buyer's agent’s job, in my opinion, is to be an exceptional guide and purchase advisor in a way that helps that buyer get to where they want to go, right? And I think a part of that is asking those buyers tough questions, getting them to think a little bit differently, sometimes broadening their vision, and then sometimes narrowing their vision to help them achieve the underlying goal.” “Selling isn't hardcore pushy, fitting a square peg into a round hole, and just driving a sale. It's understanding how to make everything work for everybody and getting to a solution.” “You've got the profile broken down so you can now go out and sell to the right people rather than you just throw it out there to the masses.” “We've never seen a market like this before. There's elements of it that we've seen before, but there are also elements in the world and things going on that we've never seen before. There is no normal marketplace. There's just variations of some things we've seen in the past and new things that we've never seen before.” Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group
