Ep. 118: No Transaction? Ask for a Review Anyway!
Not every interaction with a client results in a sale.\n\nWorking in the second home market can be a long process. You know how it goes: you\u2019ve just shown a bunch of amazing houses, and you\u2019re sitting in the car together, talking about what you\u2019ve seen, and you hear those words:\n\n\u201cWe love it, but we\u2019re just not ready yet.\u201d\n\nThat happens! Many times, it takes years for someone to make the final decision about a second home, or a resort home. Those of us working in second home markets know that it can take a long time.\n\nBut reviews are a HUGE part of what makes people choose to work with you. So what would happen if you started asking potential clients and leads who hadn\u2019t purchased a home yet if they would leave a review for you? \n\nThere\u2019s no reason why they can\u2019t share a review on Google, Yelp - anywhere! So go ahead, ask them to rate you and review their experience working with you!\n\nThanks for joining us on Selling the Dream - we wouldn\u2019t be where we are without you listening, and giving your feedback! Make sure that you give us a rating and review on iTunes: that would mean the world to me, and will help us get even more amazing guests on our Friday episodes of the show.\n\nHighlights of this episode:\n\n\n\nIt can take a long time for a buyer to make a decision about a second home: it can take years!\n\n\nSo how can you get reviews for your business?\n\n\nYou don\u2019t have to only ask transactional buyers/sellers to leave you a review: if you\u2019ve worked with them, they can review you!\n\n\nSo just ask for reviews! They can leave you a review on Yelp, Google, Facebook.\n\n\nIt\u2019s a great way to ask, \u201chey, did I meet your expectations? Did I help you?\u201d\n\n\nWhen people tell you they aren\u2019t ready to buy, turn that into a favorable experience for you!\n\n\nThey may not be ready at that exact moment to make a decision, but when they are, they\u2019ll remember how great you are to work with!\n\n\n\nHey everybody, thank you so much for spending time with us today: would you do me a giant favor and share this podcast with fellow realtors, and leave a review.
