Agent Round Table: Buyer Conversion Scripts & Dialogues

Buyer Conversion Scripts

As previously explained, asking a serious of personal questions while weaving in purposeful inquiries forms the underlying pattern of effective buyer conversion scripts.  Therefore, we have supplemented the following scripts with lists of both personal and purposeful questions for agents to use by alternating back and forth from each list until the opportunity for closing the buyer consultation appointment arises.

OPENING SCRIPT:

“Do you guys live in the area?”  Use a few initial questions like this one from the personal questions list provided below. This will break the ice and start relationship building to establish rapport prior to probing into more purposeful home buying questions.

CORE SCRIPT:

“So if this was the right house for you, what . . . (lender would you use to handle your financing) . . ?”  Begin mixing in purposeful questions from the list below by asking them questions to get them thinking about what they would do if they found their dream house.  Do this by using the introductory script: So if this was the fight house for you, what/who . . .?”  Not only will you learn a lot more about their situation and needs, but you may also help them self discover that they need the help of an agent to put them in a position to buy.  Repeat this line of personal and purposeful questioning until it becomes evident that your services can be of help to them.

CLOSING SCRIPT:

“It sounds like you have a lot of research to do.  Do you want me to help you with that?” (wait for a response) “Great!  We just need to meet briefly at my office and then I’ll take it from there.  Would 2:00pm tomorrow or 3:00pm on Tuesday be good for you?”
