Seven Motives Your Dr. Never Told You About pain

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Legends Group

Buyers become your customers when they gain confidence in you as a Dr. who can ease, if not all together eliminate, their pain that is, and the roadblocks we encounter on a daily basis as advisors

 

Seven ways to listen for pain:

 

Pain in the present – What will happen to you or your family if you don’t sell or buy a home?  How does that make you feel?

 

Pain in the future – How much frustration do you think you will experience if you don’t buy a new home or sell a new home?

 

Pleasure in the present – How much pleasure do you think selling or buying a home will bring to you or your family?

 

Pleasure in the future – What kind of benefit are you looking for if you sell now and buy now?

 

Pain in the past – How would you like never to experience or worry about that happening again?

 

Pleasure in the past – People might want to return to the past greatness of the American dream.  How important is it to you to regain the _____ you lost?

 

Interest, arousal and curiosity – These are the weakest motives to connect with.  Many advisors place great emphasis on them.

 

Now do what Dr’s do solve the pain.  The benefit you will get your money.

I totally agree with your word choice.  We have often used the statement, "If the pain of where you are is not greater than the pain of getting where you want to be, you won't make the changes you need to make."  People usually respond to that word choice.
