In this episode, Greg Helbeck—a seasoned investor and sales expert—breaks down his six-step seller qualification process, shares his top negotiation tactics, and reveals how to handle objections like a pro. We dive deep into how to get sellers to reveal their real bottom line, the power of consultative selling, and why novations are becoming a go-to strategy. If you're looking to sharpen your negotiation game and close more deals while wasting less time, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Quotes:

💬 "If you don't control the conversation, the seller will control you—and you'll never get the deal."

💬 "The best investors don’t convince sellers to sell—they ask the right questions to help the seller convince themselves."

💬 "You need to be consultative, but you also need to know when to walk away. Desperation kills deals."

💬 "A good lead is not just someone who says they want to sell—it’s someone who checks at least 3 out of 6 key boxes."

💬 "If you’re afraid to ask tough questions, you’ll always lose to the investor who isn’t."
