At its core, real estate is a relationship and conversation business. You’re not going to get anywhere if you’re not proactively reaching out to people and talking to them.

Phone prospecting is a proven lead generation method many times over, but most agents have a problem. They just can’t bring themselves to pick up the phone and call people. Maybe it’s a fear of rejection or not knowing exactly what to say, but most real estate agents avoid prospecting like it’s the plague.

But prospecting over the phone isn’t as complicated as we make it out to be. It can really be as simple as asking questions and keeping your mouth shut so you don’t talk yourself out of a deal.

Any agent can become a master phone prospector with the right mindset and methods, and today we’re joined by the perfect mentor in this space. Jamaal Ealey is an agent at Signature Real Estate Group, and he shares his secret to exceptional phone prospecting.
