My son is a heating and refrigeration specialist. For the past couple of years he has been doing the sales for his company. They have mainly dealt with private parties. Now his boss wants to expand to construction. I know there must be training seminars for this type of sales, but, his boss said to just get out there and do it. He’s not sure who to contact or how to get his foot in the door. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
This is a relatively small business and my son wants to do it, he just doesn’t know where to start.

There are plenty of methods you can use to make profits on that short sale property once you purchase it. As a real estate investor you could sell the property, you can also play at being a land lord and rent the property out, or you could lease to own the property to a new homeowner. Plus, there are lots more ways than these to earn money from a Short Sale. All it takes is a little creativity.

Lease Option
A lease option is also a good way to help people with bad or no credit get into a home. Most of your lessees will be people who want a home, but just don’t quite have the credit history or income to qualify for a traditional mortgage. In the process of renting to own with your buyers, you can help them rebuild that credit with a program such as homebuyers1st.com, so they can qualify for a traditional mortgage in a few years and be able to pay you the remainder of the home price in one large chunk. A lease option is a new twist on the old way of buying and selling pre-foreclosure properties. You’ll buy the properties, fix them up and find tenants to lease them to on a lease to own basis. You will eventually get all of your money invested back plus a sizable profit, however, the lease option isn’t the fastest way to earn profits. Plus, lease option provides you all the benefits of being a landlord without some of the negatives, since the property will be under the care and maintenance of your buyers as eventual owners of the property. Making inspections to make sure the tenant buyers are not damaging the home is vital to make sure that something small doesn’t turn into a big problem.

Three guys worked together to produce a CD project. They all contributed their skills to get it done. When time came for the duplication of the CD’s, the featured artist had to pay for the duplication entirely. Now the artist is expected to turn the CD’s over to the other guys and come to them when he is ready to sell them.The artist had to come up with the money to buy the cd’s, then after selling them, he has to split the profit with the other two. Is there something wrong here?

I’ve been in inside sales for a very long time and have encountered many different philosophies over the years. For the most part there isn’t necessarily a right and wrong but I do feel there is a good, better, and best as well as techniques that work for some but not for all.

So I wanted to know if you feel it is a good idea to leave voicemails for prospects or if I should skip it and just dial them until they answer. My voicemails are boring and I get a callback about 1% of the time—if that.

Negotiating can be tough. It is more an art of applying techniques to each unique transaction rather than cut and dry responses. With home sales, each home has a person behind it with emotions that can be triggered either positively or negatively. Whether I am the agent for the buying or selling end, I try to advise my clients with facts rather than emotions. I have run into other agents who get quite emotional and defensive about a transaction, and I can understand that inclination because some deals can just become so frustrating, but as the agent, it is best to take a step back and provide professional consultation instead of escalating your client’s emotions. These are some negotiating techniques to keep in mind as options rather than letting a negotiation go sour.

1. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

It is common that people will haggle or get attached to small things like refrigerators. I try to put these things in perspective for my clients. Would you rather convey a $1000 used fridge to these buyers who are ready to move forward with just this one concession, or do you want to put it back on the market and pay more mortgage payments until the next buyer is interested? A lot of times, if you look at the overall picture of how much it will cost to put something back on the market, including mortgage, taxes, and insurance, there will be a breaking point at which the seller understands it is not worth the money. From the buying perspective, if we take the fridge example again, is it really worth the fridge to spend more time looking and spend money on another inspection? Sometimes your client will say that it is worth ending the deal, and in that case, you will represent them as they want, but most people become rational after they get past the initial emotions of “wanting” something. And some clients will even thank you for helping them through the small things.

Get a tips for a better negotiating strategy. Where can I check for the factory invoice of the car which I want to buy? Here are some tips that can be useful for you before you walk into the dealership. How do I calculate the money that I have to offer to the dealer? The formula in this article will help you in calculating the cost. Contrary to popular belief, dealers don’t have to tell you the invoice on any car. This often gives the dealer leverage over you.

They can offer you one dollar over the invoice. You should know that there are hidden factory incentives in the invoice price that lowers the cost of the car for the dealership. It’s no bargain for you. If a dealership is very quick to show you the invoice, you should be aware that they are fully aware that they will be making money on that car off of you and they can settle at a lower price for the car.
