Sales is really just two things: How can I help my customer make money? How do I help my customers save money? Inch by inch it's a sinch. Yard by yard it's hard. He buys lists of high interest borrowers and those with PMI He does snail mail to them and gets 0.4% percent to respond, so 4/10ths of a percent A lot of people say "maybe" and he drips on them New, fresh customers in one part of the database and then the "maybes" FU means "Follow Up" FU to FT (follow through) Work smart and work hard The Big Four Twitter YouTube LinkedIn Facebook Business Page The fifth is TikTok.

S.I.T.: Stay In Touch to succeed in sales." It's best to learn from the mistakes of others Without a goal, good luck! In 1983, interest rates were 13-14%. Now they're in the high 5% range instead of the high 2%. PDR: Practice. Drill. Rehearse. (Tom Hopkins) You have to address the stalls and the "I'll be back." "Come from your heart. Just to clarify for me." The set aside technique..."Let's set that aside for now. What else is causing you to delay this decision?" "If you don't do anything at all, and you won't hurt my feelings, how is your life going to get better?" Then shut up and listen. Silent and listen are the same six letters. A lot of times they don't trust you. Go find the decision makers. Seek progress instead of perfection." Be like Larry King and Oprah. Ask open ended questions. Get them to recognize the problem Give them the tool to scratch the itch. Listen with your eyes, your ears, and your heart. If you wait for the perfect time, it'll never happen. It's okay.
