Three Reasons Why You Should Never Say You Are "Soooo Busy"
We have all said the words "I am soooo busy!"
But is this the best response when someone asks you how you are doing or how is it going? No, in fact there are three key reasons why you may want to avoid using this language when talking with your sphere of influence, your clients, or even a family member.
1) Bragging - If you are busy and the person you are talking with isn't they may feel inadequate or even embarrassed about their level of success. This can cause disconnection or even professional jealousy.
2) Bothered - Because you are "soooo busy" some clients may decide not to burden you with more referrals or even direct real estate business. Many real estate veterans have had clients tell them "I just didn't want to bother you." Don't let this happen to you!
3) Disorganized - Often people who are overwhelmed, chaotic, or say that they are "soooo busy" can come across disorganized and out of balance. This can be a turn off for clients who want an agent who is organized, calm, and focused on their needs.
So what do you say instead? Watch this one minute video for a script that will transform the conversation and focus you completely on the client.
Do you need more leads, more listings, more buyers, and more closings?
