A Deer In Headlights...
Hi Everyone! I have a problem that I am hoping I can get some friendly advice on. So, I get out and about and find property owners to talk with.... all with tons of confidence! While I'm talking with them, I find a good time to ask if they may want to sell their property. That is when I start to sweat because no matter what their answer ends up being, I don't know what to say next. Even after all the articles, books, podcasts, and webinars, I still freeze. I fumble with my words and can only think to say, "would you be willing to owner finance". Of course if they say, "no", then that is easy... I thank them and walk away, but I'm thinking there has to be more that I can say. If they say, "yes", then I freeze up because I don't know what to do next. It is a no win for me since I get so nervous an am not sure what to do. I know that there are tons of other ways to handle this, but I just can't get past the "frozen mind set" that I fall into.
Anyone have any advice to get past this? What to say next or at least do next? All answers/advice/words of wisdom are appreciated!
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
Samantha
