Happy Spring to all of you!

 

This month's newsletter is about one-liners. I always say that if the note holder does not have a need we will never do a transaction with them. Here is a list of tips and one-liners to use to find out on that first phone call if the note holder has a need to sell or not:

 

The following excerpt was taken directly from Jeff Armstrong's Best Selling Book "Scripts & Tips", available from the Armstrong Capital Online Store or by clicking the "Buy Now" button below.
 




- GEE! That's a great note! Why would you want to sell that?

- So let me get this straight. You really don’t have a need to sell your note right now you just want a value, you want to get an idea of what it might be worth. Well, what did the other guys tell you? It sounds to me like you really don't have a need to sell your note.

- If the seller wants to know how much, NOW! – “Without investing some time together I don’t know.”

- There are two ways we can do this, a full purchase or a partial purchase. If we were only going to do a partial purchase of the note how much would you need?

- We are not out to take advantage of you. We do not have to purchase the whole mortgage if you do not need it.

- Why didn’t the buyer’s get a bank loan?

- Become a better listener, ask and not tell.

- How and when you ask will make all of the difference in the world on whether or not how much you find out.

- Usually the first thing a seller tells you is not the whole truth or even a lie.

- Don’t tell them too much, they’ll run away. Keep in touch with the individual’s need. Don’t appear to be a salesperson. Example – “Do you need some cash right now?” or “Could you use some cash right now?”

- Gosh, why would you want to sell that? There’s got to be cheaper ways to get the money you need than by taking a discount! But why? Why don’t you go to the bank and get a loan, you’ll save a whole lot of money!

- Keep in mind, are they really needy?

- Are you ready to sell this note right now? Look, I’m sorry, the note market changes every day and I can only seriously talk to you if you are interested in selling right now.
