You want to practice with someone familiar with the sorts of objections you\u2019ll encounter to get comfortable moving the conversation forward, even in the face of \u201cno.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose the best time to call:<\/strong> A study by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leadresponsemanagement.org\/lrm_study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lead Response Management<\/a> suggests that the best time to reach people is between 4 and 6 p.m. However, FSBOs expect frequent calls about their homes. The best time to prospect FSBO homes is when you feel prepared and confident and can regularly set aside time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Double your efforts with text messaging: <\/strong>Sure, getting a seller on the phone is always better. But if they don\u2019t answer when you call, try texting them immediately. Don\u2019t even bother with a voicemail \u2014 just text them instead. And if you think scripts are great in person or over the phone, they\u2019re just as effective in text messaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Send an FSBO prospecting letter:<\/strong> A <a href=\"https:\/\/theclose.com\/real-estate-prospecting-letter-templates\/\">real estate prospecting letter<\/a> increases your exposure to FSBOs you want to convert. Many successful agents use this strategy alongside calls and texts to build familiarity and trust. When FSBOs repeatedly see your name, face, and message, they become more likely to engage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use an auto-dialer:<\/strong> When you have a list of 50 phone numbers you are working with, it\u2019s incredible how much time you spend physically dialing and waiting. An auto-dialer streamlines your calling process by dialing multiple numbers simultaneously and only connecting you to those who pick up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a dedicated business phone number:<\/strong> Carrying multiple phones is unrealistic and a recipe for mix-ups. Instead, consider a simple virtual phone system, which provides you with a second phone number to keep business and personal calls separate.
