When The Seller Chooses Someone Else's Offer Over Yours Do This...
Listen up! π₯ Some of your best deals, those ones that make the difference between βjust another dealβ and βgame-changing,β arenβt going to come from sellers who say yes on the first call. No, theyβre coming from the sellers who rejected you, went with someone else, or thought the grass was greener. But hereβs the key: donβt you dare burn that bridge. π«π₯ When a seller tells you theyβre taking another offer, your response should be calm, confident: βNot a problem, Mr. or Mrs. Seller. If that buyer doesnβt perform, starts haggling, or hesitates, Iβm your backup. πͺ Iβll step up and make it happen.β π And donβt stop thereβbecause if you think theyβre going to remember you when that other buyer flakes, youβre wrong. β Hereβs what winners do. π You follow up. π Every 7-10 days. And in that first week? ποΈ Even more frequently. Thatβs when most so-called βbuyersβ drop the ball, disappear, or fail to make the deposit. π While theyβre fading, youβre showing up. π₯ Youβre reminding that seller, βIβm still here, ready to close.β ππΌ Not every deal you lost is coming back to youβthatβs reality. π But the ones that do? π Those are the deals that make champions. π
Stay in contact with those βlost opportunitiesβ just like you would your hottest leads, because sometimes a βnoβ today becomes your biggest win tomorrow. π The deals you donβt get are just as important as the ones you do. π π°
