How I Raised Myself From Failure ToSuccess In Selling, Frank Bettger

Are we all back in the game of Real Estate, connecting with past and prospective clients and actually tracking our number of contacts?  Our next installment:

Strive to Speak Like Lincoln or Churchill!

Chapter 3:  One Thing I Did That Helped Me Destroy The Biggest Enemy I Ever Had To Face

The best way to overcome fear of talking to strangers is to learn to speak to groups.

When we master the art of speaking to an audience, we also conquer any reticence about

speaking to people one on one.

Public speaking helps build confidence.  It helps us learn to express ourselves clearly & convincingly.  It helps us develop courage.    And, it helps others get to know us better.  It may even lead to an additional sale, since you never know who may be in your audience!

Join a public speaking group like Toastmasters.  If there is no group in your area, form one with friends or business associates.

Mr. Bettger describes this training as one of the turning points in his career.   How do you feel you may benefit by honing your public speaking skills?

How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling, Frank Bettger

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 1, and that it helped you rediscover your ‘enthusiasm’ for the Real Estate business!

Sales is a Contact Sport!

 Chapter 2: This Idea Put Me Back Into Selling After I Had Quit

 If you are in sales, you cannot do any business until you personally connect with people. The more people you contact, the greater chance you will do some business. 

 So, get off the bench and get up at bat! And remember – keep score!

When we track our activities, we can see how many contacts we are actually making, how many touches are necessary to produce a lead, and how many prospects before a sale.

A short pencil beats a long memory every time. Sometimes we think we have been more industrious than we actually are! It is very easy to fall off the wagon and drift into bad habits. 

So, whatever you are doing to connect with people, write it down.

As Mr. Bettger says…

You can’t collect your commission until you make the sale;

You can’t make the sale ‘til you write the order;

You can’t write the order ‘til you have an interview;

And, you can’t have an interview ‘till you make the call!

To your continued success,

Judy Moses

Hi there

I thought I'd share the video of Judy's newest listing in Newton Highlands. It's a 2 bedroom condo in move-in condition. Lots of good stuff like central air and garage parking, plus it's just a stone's throw (I'm not exaggerating) to the Newton Highlands T, shops, restaurants. It's a truly great location.

Let us know if you have any questions!
