Why You Fail on the Phone (& How To Correctly cold)

Jul 5 (edited) • Announcements 🔔

Let’s get real for a second…

If you want to make sellers more money—You need to start thinking like a consumer.

Because guess what?

Consumers don’t love cold calls.

You know what they do when they get cold called?

❌ Hang up

❌ Say “no” before you even finish

❌ Shut down the second you sound like everyone else

So here’s my #1 tip if you actually want to succeed on the phone:

🚫 Pause your script.

🚫 Forget your agenda.

✅ Create engagement.

That’s your only goal at the start of the call: Get them talking. Get them curious. Get them to stay.

Let’s say you’re calling a FSBO…

Before you even dial—ask yourself:

“How many agents have called them already today?”

Because the second you say:

“Hi John, this is Alexis with ABC Realty, just calling about your property…”

They’ve already checked out. You’re just agent #50 today—and they’re done.

No engagement = no appointment.

No appointment = no listing.

💡 Think like a human. Speak like a human. Lead with curiosity—not credentials.

That’s how you break through resistance and book the meeting.
