You Don't Need To Be Good At Sales To Get Your First Deal

โ€œIโ€™m not a sales person.โ€
Neither are most of the investors closing creative deals right now.
The idea that you need to be slick, pushy, or persuasive to succeed in real estate?
Total myth.
What you really need is:

An offer that solves a problem. That problem is often unwanted or unmanageable debt.
A simple conversation that clarifies how your solution addresses that debt. For example, monthly income that covers their monthly expense.
The ability to listen more than you talk.
Sellers arenโ€™t looking for a pitch. Theyโ€™re looking for help.
Creative strategies are help when done right.
Most of the new investors I know with start off nervous, awkward, and uncertain.  I certainly did.
A few weeks later, I was having confident, low-pressure conversations with sellers.  You will too.
Itโ€™s not magic. Itโ€™s reps, feedback, and guidance.
You donโ€™t need sales skills. You need people skills.
If youโ€™ve been holding back because youโ€™re โ€œnot good at sales,โ€ DM me. I'll send you an audio file of my conversation with a homeowner who had a vacant $2.1M condo.
