That's okay." "Every element of this puzzle is a little bit different as you start putting these pieces together." "The success ratio of getting this puzzle put together drops dramatically when there's no picture." "The Sweet 16 Listing Presentation and the 10-Step Buyer Process are specifically designed to get people into the place where we have one box top, one puzzle we're working on." "Just stop and ask more questions... usually, if that stuff is coming up, you missed something." "These are the things that come out in those customer service calls - to understand, “Okay, the puzzle's changed a little bit. The end picture might still be very similar, but maybe it's the shape of the pieces that have changed, and we need to understand.’" "We need to get our pictures together and clear up front.” "Take that mindset of 'I love puzzles' and put that into your real estate."   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 Ninja Coaching Book Study
