249. How to Turn Calls Into Closings

Almost every business faces the same challenge: How do you convert live leads into successful sales? In real estate, we call these kinds of leads "sign calls." They're when someone calls you out of the blue to ask you a question about something you're selling. If you're prepared for these conversations, they can be absolute gold.We break down everything you need to know into three key sections: mindset shift, conversation framework, and follow-up systems.Remember: The primary goal is not to answer their questions. It's to establish trust, understand their needs, and guide them to the next step.Resources:See if “Your First Home” is a helpful resource for your clientsConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
