In the real estate investment game, phone calls are an important part of the job. How can we make the most of calls with clients, and how can we stay calm in the face of angry callers? How can we train our teams to be more effective over the phone? On this episode, industry veteran, author and fellow podcaster, Larry Goins shares his advice on making the most of the time we spend on calls.    3 Things We Learned  Solving problems is the key to effective communication At some point, we’re guaranteed to deal with an angry person over the phone. When this happens, take the opportunity to solve the caller’s problem. Seldom will an angry call be purely based on our direct mail reaching their front door, so be sure to ask questions that reveal what the real issues are. Once we know the root of the problem, we can start finding solutions and maybe even get their business after all.   Find ways to stay entertained while making calls If we’re making calls regularly, we’re bound to get bored at some point. To stay focused, we need to find things that keep us amused as we work. Grab a fidget spinner, or even keep a guitar on your lap. The important thing is, we find ways to enjoy the time and prevent ourselves from stopping the activity.  Record your interactions so you can better prepare  When training our teams, we need to help them write scripts and prepare themselves. However, we should also be taking it a step further by sharing recorded conversations we’ve had with clients over the phone. This helps them prepare responses to commonly asked questions.   Phone calls are a key component of real estate investing, so it’s vital we make the most of them. It all comes down to listening to what the client really needs. Never be discouraged by an angry caller- even the angriest person can become a loyal client if we pay attention to them and help solve their problems. Stay focused and take stock of what works- calls are essential, so always be prepared.    Guest Bio-  Larry Goins is a real estate investor and educator with over 30 years of experience in the industry.

Today, my guest is Larry Goins, who has always thought about wanting to do business. Even when he was a kid, he used to go down to the sawmill and get stakes. Then, he would resell them at the flea market as tomato stakes. Then, he moved on to painting cars, lawn care, and reading books about real estate. Larry eventually got real estate and contractor licenses. He did his very first depot in 1986, more than 30 years ago. There’s a lot of people who have not been investing that long. Larry has seen more market cycles than most can ever dream of.   Topics on Today’s Episode: Technology is the biggest change Larry has witnessed in real estate Fix and flip is a bit of a trap because you get used to the quick profits;what happens is you get lost and let all the wrong things become a priority in your life Being a Hustler: Having a good work ethic, mentality of “you cannot outwork me” Real estate is hot right now; even though real estate is like this, it will eventually go like this - business is cyclical Why am I doing this? I’m supposed to be doing this, to not have to do this Larry came to the realization that he has to start taking care of himself, his family; there’s more than just work, but work is his passion Larry is a firm believer in education, but one thing nobody ever taught him was you’ve got to have a personal vision; money can’t be a part of it Larry has always focused on business and has had a lot of acquaintances, but it’s hard for others to get him; allow yourself to be vulnerable and open up People will remember if you’re able to give them a little something that could change their life generationally Analogy of Business: When you first start, it’s a lot of work for you; get some staff to delegate some of the work; don’t be a bottleneck in your business Larry loves real estate because there’s so many ways to do it; there’s so many different types, models, and sources with real estate Take action; success doesn’t happen overnight, there’s short-term pain for long-term gain Priorities change and you want to level-up your game; find smart guys with money and find them some deals Be straightforward and honest with people; build rapport and get them to like, know, and trust you Links and Resources Mentioned: Larry Goins Larry Goins on Facebook (videos) Larry Goins’ HUD Homes Half Off book Brain Pick a Pro podcast Brag Radio Robert Allen Al Lowry Wade Cook The One Thing Shaun McCloskey Ron Phillips Corey Peterson on Facebook Nido Qubein Jay Conner Quotes: “The most important piece of real estate you will ever you will ever invest in is the six inches between your ears.” Larry Goins “(MLS book) That’s just like the dark days of real estate when it was the wild, wild west.” Corey Peterson “I have always had a really, really good work ethic. I get up early, I stay late, nobody has ever called me lazy. Even having employees at the office, I’ve always had the mentality of ‘you cannot outwork me’, right?” Larry Goins “Why am I doing this?
