Two Step Process:
If the listing is competitive, set up a
second meeting.
Especially if they are meeting with a
second agent after they meet with you.
Likely hood of choosing you after meeting
with second agent goes down by 50%.
15-20 Minutes in length – talk about
specific pricing strategy and answer
any follow questions they may have.
Follow Up Plan

Close, Close, AND Close.
If you did not close the business at
the first meeting, do so on the second
meeting.
If you don’t close at this meeting,
follow up immediately the next
morning.
Call until the client says they will list with
you or states someone else.
Being aggressive in getting their business
will show them you will be aggressive
when selling their property.
