I got a terrible appointment to contract ratio...Suggestions plz!

[Joshua Howaniec]

Hey Bp I've been meeting about 8-10 motivated sellers per week for 2.5 months now with minimal deals. It's probably about 1/10. For every 10 people I meet I get one under contract. Sucks!

I hear a lot of these guys get or expect to get 1/3 people they meet under contract. While I don't want to blame the system I just don't get how I can be this far off.

These deals almost all seem to go one of two ways,

1. They owe to much and there is not enough room for wholesalers, investors, and expenses or

2. They do not need to sell now

3. They are wanting to shop around for a better offer.

I am more than willing to take a good look on the inside to discover what I am doing wrong but for the life of me I cannot understand what it is I am doing that is that far off.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I feel I should be killing it at this point but it's just been 2 1/2 months of meeting people and spinning tires.

When I say 2.5 months by the way I don't mean since Ive started, I mean since I have been consistently meeting over 6 sellers per week.

If anyone has a pointer on closing deals or just generally how to make these numbers better please advise. I try to be a patient guy but I also try not to be stupid forever if I can help it. :)

You need to work with only Motivated Sellers by asking proper questions and determine whether this is a Motivated Seller by phone and before going to meet owner to determine if Motivated is a waste of valuable time.
