You'll learn: how to present offers; how to control the sales interview without being pushy; effective qualifying; how to make better listing presentations; what questions to ask and why not asking them could cost you a fortune; how to make an effective pricing presentation and deal with pricing objections; how to overcome objections and indecision and get to the closing; how to find good listing prospects.
