Have you ever heard a seller say, "Let me think about it," only to have them completely ghost you days later? It is one of the most frustrating ways to lose a deal, but it does not have to be this way. In this episode, Josh High reveals why sellers use this polite smokescreen and exactly how to dismantle it on the spot. You will learn how to implement the "Go for No" technique to uncover their true hesitations, navigate the four possible outcomes of their response, and use the "Boxing Objections" framework to pinpoint whether the issue is the price, the process, or a competing offer. Stop letting sellers off the hook without a definitive answer and start turning hesitation into signed contracts. Listen and enjoy the show!
