Make Them Tell You No...or...Cold Calling Ain't That bad!!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mike McCann - Broker, Mach1 Realty Farm & Commercial Land Broker-Auctioneer Serving Nebraska

Ohh... the dreaded cold calls and door knocking... Are those days behind you? Did you ever do them?

Would you do them ... Or would you do more if you could muster up the courage?

I will make it simple for you...

If you don’t ask the question, the answer is already No!

 

Make them tell you No!  Why?  Because unless you ask...you can't get the answer you want.

It is either:  they don’t know, you don’t know, or you think they will tell you No.

So I suggest that you:  Make them tell you NO! 

WHY? Because some will tell you YES!

Do You Search High and Far for More Clients?  They are right there you know.

20+ years selling real estate and I kick myself that I did not do more door knocking and cold calling in my earlier years because it has made me so much money the past few.

All I do is ask them if I can be of any assistance to them or theirs.  If they say No, I simply say:"Well, maybe sometime in the future..." and leave it at that.

I am not suggesting you violate any No Call laws...because you have hundreds you can ask on a regular basis. Who you might wonder?  Any one you talk with from the hairdresser to the teller to the receptionist to the neighbor to the Doctor to the church members...

Talk to the people that you have never seen before.  Why? Perhaps they have seen you and would like to use you if you would approach them.  Maybe they are observing you from a distance. The number of reasons is mindboggling...just know they are there for the picking.

Quit banging your head on the wall!!

It really is so simple...MAKE THEM TELL YOU NO!! 

Until Next Time....

We all have the fear of not doing it right, or being turned down, but how great it is when they say YES! Thanks for pushing us all!

We need to let them know we are in real estate but it is not their job to remember. Keep asking in different ways.

Hi Dagney,  It really is a fear and usually an unfounded one. I had a Broker back in the early 90's that kept saying it worked...I could have made a lot more money if I had listened to him!!

Hi Margaret, That is so true. It is amazing how many times I tell some folks what I do when they ask. They always forget it seems or so they make it seem.

The funny thing about fear is that it is unfounded 99.99% of the time.I forced myself to "Just Do It" and realized how unfounded my fears were.  I now have a great time with the folks I call or door knock, and they tell me about other neighbours who are about to move, are getting a divorce, lost a family member, had a baby, etc.  My only problem now is trying to limit the time I spend chatting and get on the the next potential client.
