I don’t have a whole lot of money, and I’m a restoration sales specialist for homeowners. I don’t know what to say that will get the owner to listen to me. I am not that aggressive but I need to know what I can say to get the homeowner interested in what I am saying. It’s not a scam, it really makes peoples homes whole, and they only have say one month to get a claim filed or they are not going to be able to make their home whole from the damage that has happened. What are great opening lines when the homeowner first comes to the door. I say, Hi my name is, and they already want to shut the door. Or first off I’m not selling anything that takes your money. We get their insurance to cover everything including labor where it is due. Insurance companies don’t go around giving people what they are entitled to, they won’t even let you know. You have to know this as a home buyer so that you can get your roof repaired when it needs to be. Or siding, or windows, but I just don’t know how to pitch this sell, when everyone, seems no one wants to talk to me? How do I dress, what are good opening lines, what can be said really fast to get everything out of the 1-2 minutes they don’t even want to give you that might make them call, or make them want me to look at their roof right then and there. I like my job, just hate people, cause they are stupid and neglect something like their insurance, do you ignore your car insurance when you get in an accident, or do you say oh well, bob just totalled my car, guess I’ll just drive this new 2009 and act like it didn’t happen. Same with your home, if you had hail damage would you just ignore it, neglect it, say someone else is going to do it? Be nice but, no one does anything good for themselves, I’m selling something that can take a trend to a better home to a better neighborhood. What can be said in two minutes, when it takes ten minutes to write it all out, and still don’t have it all written out? What percentage matters in my hair and clothes vs what I say? What do I need to say right away, that will entice the customer to make their own better judgement my own, its not manipulation, its persuasion. Getting people to come to their own best judgement or conclusion, that they need to get their home looked at, or find out, or get involved a little bit to see if they even qualify. It’s good for the homeowner as a matter of fact. And they can do the work themselves if they really wanted to. But most people don’t want to get off work to hire a sider, a roofer, or a window guy. Or get the inspections at the right time. People have also gone to jail trying it themselves and not hiring a business that this is all we do and do it right. Guess, I just need a lot of pointers in the shortest amount of time possible, please feel free to email me, and also as much as possible. I learn best from those that can teach, not put down.
