    EP 384: Sales Scripts That Aren’t “Salesy”, Gain Trust, and Close More Deals w/ 7-Figure Hybrid Phil Shaver


    About this episode:

    Once upon a time, Phil ran a brokerage with over 50 agents and would turn down every seller that wanted a cash offer.

    Today, he runs a lean team of just 3 rockstar agents and has trained them exceptionally well to close motivated sellers. His sales & negotiation skills are honest, refreshing, and, most importantly, effective.

    During our conversation, he role-plays & explains just about any scenario you’d run into, with just about any lead. There’s no secret sauce to selling, but Phil’s methods & scripts are probably the closest things.

    This episode is for you if you’re an investor or agent wanting a simpler way to sell with less pressure. Enjoy.
