Prospecting Scripts Library
I have to keep my promise to a friend or previous agent I talked to/bought the home from
That’s great, I can appreciate your loyalty and that is a quality that I respect in people… I’m curious so let me ask you this…
Has there ever been a time when you decided to buy something or do something and because a friend said, hey no problem, when you need help, I can do it and in the end, because you didn’t check around, you really didn’t get what you wanted…have you ever been there before?” (Yes)
Well this time is just like that time, and with that in mind, I’m sure you can see the importance of having me over just to give you a second opinion…that wouldn’t hurt anything, would it?
I need to net this amount in order to move out, I have to be at my new job in 90 days but I can’t afford to buy a home if I take a loss
I can appreciate the position you are in. Many people in our area are in the same position and you know…I’m curious. Has there ever been a time when you knew you were going to have to make a sacrifice?
I mean, you knew it was going to be tough and in the end, after analysing all of your options, you realised that there was only one thing to do…put your head down, grit your teeth and go for it…
You don’t handle many homes in our price range
You’re right, I don’t rent a lot of homes in your price range and that’s exactly why I’m here tonight/today…I usually rent homes in lower price ranges and what I find is…after I rent my clients homes, many of them move up to your price range, therefore, it only makes sense…that the next logical step is for me to rent in your price range as well, considering I already have a relationship with many prospective tenants that will be interested in your home…does that make sense?
You’re too busy, you have so many listings, we want someone that can give us the attention we deserve
I can appreciate that and you probably haven’t had a chance to think about the advantage I have over my fellow agents in town.
You see, the more listings I have the more signs I have on the street. The more signs I have on the street, the more calls I get from buyers…and, of course, most of those tenants don’t buy the home they call about and many will be interested in your home.
Why is your estimate so much lower than the other agents that we have talked to…they have shown me comparables that are higher than yours? (Yes, why is that?)
It is kind of confusing, isn’t it? I mean, you interview four property managers and you get four different prices…right?
You are probably thinking, why did this person come in with such a low estimate? Doesn’t he want my listing? Well, my answer is yes and no.
If I have to rent it out at that price, then I will do it myself
I can appreciate your frustration with the market place and I was wondering, what specifically causes you to believe that you can rent this home yourself? (I don’t know, but I can’t rent it out at that price)
If we have to rent that low, we will do it ourselves and save the fees as the difference.
Why should I rent my property out with you?
You know what, you’re right. There’s only a certain number of things that every agent can be doing differently to rent your home.
So, the final decision isn’t based on what you do differently but it’s more so who are you more comfortable in dealing with, what’s going to help you decide on the property manager relationship with you?
So for us, it came down to the relationship and things we do differently, but ultimately a lot of property managers are all saying the same. Work on the trust, work on the relationship.

This is good for ‘can you do a better fee/price?’, ‘but why do I have to pay for inspections?’, ‘but why does it cost that much?’, ‘why do I have to pay for it?’, ‘how long does a Routine Inspection take?’, ‘vacate inspection? Insurance Claim?’ or ‘other services based on time and work performed?’
Script/Response – The ‘Pain of Not Choosing’
This is good for ‘can you do it cheaper’, ‘if you can match the management fee with the other agent down the road’ and ‘can you give me a discount’ etc
Script/Response – ‘The Cheapest Agent in Town’

To justify the value of your fee, you must show the owner what the alternative cost will be.
The Law of the Main Game

Getting this fee, or getting more than your competitors if they’re charging it is all about giving better service and more effective points of difference.

Script: “But the other agent isn’t charging a Routine Inspection Fee (or is charging much less).”
The Monthly Administration Fee
Script: “Why do you charge me a monthly admin fee?”

It’s more than just pressing a button’. This response is all about understanding the Law of Alternate Cost.
If I rent my home with you and rent my next purchase with you, will you reduce your fee?

Episode #1- (14 Agencies) THE BIG Holes, The ‘Low-Balling’ and the Surprises!
In our ‘pilot’ episode of ‘The Secret Shopper Files’ Michael Sanz discusses how his team ‘secret-shopped’ 14 agencies in Adelaide (South Australia).
With the selected offices spread across half of the metro area, the ‘rack-rate normal’ management and leasing fees Adelaide is known for have been discounted by FOUR PM focussed agencies (that you’d think would be at the ‘higher end’ of the fee-charging).
We also reveal some surprises with their ‘points of difference’ and have a revealing chat about the overall service experience.
Episode #2- (The Auckland Files) TEN Agencies: Staff Disconnect, ‘Too busy’ to GROW…Finding another $127,000 per year in fees

In this episode, we spend quality time on how you can improve with your prospective client service experience, but also discuss what type of content you could be teaching and educating with your prospective clients so that you can dominate and lead the market.
Plus we reveal a sample fee analysis based on what agents should be charging in the Auckland area and how additional fees could be earning an agency of 300 doors/managements another $127,000 per year.

Episode #4- The Sydney Files- The STRUGGLE is real
In this episode, we called TEN agencies in Sydney where we found nearly all PM companies STRUGGLING to give any real and meaningful point of difference, and instead gave common ‘points’ that were of no real value at all!
BUT through all the ‘BLAND and sameness’ a phone call with ONE agency stood head and shoulders over the rest to win our Secret Shopper Hall of Fame award (if we had one!). PLUS, we come across the HIGHEST leasing fee we’ve seen charged, plus one agency charging a HIGH routine inspection fee (when everyone else was charging nothing).
Episode #5- the Wellington Files- ‘Please just take a look at the website!’
When we were commissioned to ‘secret shop’ TEN competitor agencies in Wellington NZ we were not prepared for what we experienced. In this podcast you will find out what happened when ALL of the agencies we contacted really didn’t have any ‘care factor’ whatsoever when dealing with our new business enquiry! Most of them simply told us to ‘read our website’.
Plus we reveal the PM fees we encountered (and the lack of), and what particular fee they could be easily charging more for.
Episode #6- The Phoenix Files “Sorry…that’s not my job!”
Calling ten agencies in Phoenix Arizona (USA) we were confronted not only with poor and ineffective points of difference, but also the person taking the inquiry not taking responsibility for providing the information we needed. Furthermore, with so many fees not being charged and a packet of money left on the table, our Secret Shopper Files episode in Phoenix is quite an eye-opener on how to be more effective (and how ‘not to be’) when taking new business inquiries.

Episode #7- The Sunshine Coast Files- When New Business Inquiry Conversation Counts!
Ten agencies were ‘Secrets Shopped’ on the beautiful Sunshine Coast which is home to Australia Zoo and is based about 1-hour drive north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. Aside from a level of a ‘relaxed’ culture in dealing with a new business inquiry, our calls were very much a ‘conversation-based’ experience. Their points of difference were regretfully ineffective along with some of the lowest fees we have seen in Australia. Listen to Episode #7- The Sunshine Coast Files for hints, tips, and teaching for you to go to the next level in winning your new business inquiries at your FULL FEES! Enjoy!
Episode #8- The Hawaiian Files – When URGENCY goes on vacation
