Today, after submitting an admittedly lowball offer on a listing, the agent responded.
"Get lost."
And so it goes in any form of marketing.
As one of my mentors, the great Dan Kennedy said...
"If you haven't pissed somebody off by noon, you're not marketing hard enough."
When faced with an unfriendly rejection, how do you handle it, and what do you typically do next?
Three roads:
- Ignore the comment and take the ol' grouch off your list.
- Forget the comment and circle back in a week or two.
- Call the agent the next day and let 'em know a) you're not afraid to confront whatever's bothering them and b) actually you appreciate the feedback!
I chose option 3.
Dunno if I'll ever do business with the agent again, but at least I feel like we had an honest conversation.
