Act like a host/hostess.
Take your time.
Ask open-ended questions.
Listen Actively.
So how do these apply to phone conversations?

5. Act Like a Host/Hostess
Greet customers on the phone the same way you’d greet customers at an Open House – warmly & enthusiastically.
Keep the conversation upbeat & casual. Be prepared to talk about current events, family vacations, movies, books, etc.

6. Activity: Say What?
Say the following statements out loud emphasizing the
italicized & underlined words. What you say is just as important as how you say it!
I thought Jan’s house looked great. (But now I think it needs some work…)
I thought Jan’s house looked great.
(But what’s up with that smell?...)
(But Jan looked awful!...)

7. Take Your Time
Long-term relationships are key to growing your business. Invest the time to get to know your leads.
People sense when you’re in a hurry. Relax and really listen to what is being said.
Ask questions to uncover needs & wants.

8. Use Open-Ended Questions
Instead of saying…
Try saying…
“Did you see the Open House signs on Main St.?”
“Did you like the neighborhood?”
“Did you like the house?”
“What led you to this particular Open House?”
“What are you looking for in a neighborhood?”
“What is most important to you in your next house?”

9. Listen Actively
Use verbal clues such as “I see…” and “What happened next?” or “That must be difficult…”
Listen for information that can keep the conversation going.
Take notes as you listen. Let them tell you what you need to know.
