What Does Nancy Pelosi and Real Estate Sales Professionals Have In Common?

What Does Nancy Pelosi and Real Estate Sales Professionals Have In Common?

Today I was working in my office with the television on in the back ground to follow the bank bail out and the pending vote.

Being involved in both the real estate and new homes sales profession I was listening with great interest regarding the outcome for the country financial heath and business.

From every indication it appeared that the bill to bail out the banks would be approved today.

Just before the vote Nancy Pelosi make a speech that may have contributed to the bill being not passed.

Did Nancy Pelosi Talk Herself Out of A Sale?

As we see so often sales professionals talk themselves out of a sale after it’s made, and that may be what happened today. Nancy Pelosi had the bill sold to both parties before the vote and her speech.

What happened today can be a learning experience for real estate sales professionals.

Follow the professional selling process. Make you case for the property, sell the benefits confirm the prospect wants the home and close the sale and make the customer feel good about buying the home.

Proactive listing is a key to selling following the 80-20 rule of listening 80% of the time to understand and know your customer.

Do you feel that Nancy Pelosi make her customers on both side of the aisle feel good about buying the product (the bill)?

Politics is Selling

I sensed that what I was watching today was not in the best interest of the country, but that of selling a political position.

It time to speak out on your position to your elected representatives to get the job done and done right.
