What is Sales?
A transaction between two parties where the buyer receives goods (tangible or
intangible), services and/or assets in exchange for money
Belief in Company!
After knowing about the company, do you sync with our vision?
Belief in Product!
After knowing the product, will you consider it worth buying?
Contd.
Belief in Yourself!
Believe In Yourself And Others Are Bound To Believe In You!
You are what you think you are. You do what you think you can. It is all in the mind.
Mind over Matter, as they say!
Think of the mighty elephant that can move tons of weight. How come it stays in one
place tied with a weak rope and a stake! When the elephant is a baby, it is tied to a
strong chain and a strong tree. The baby keeps pulling, but in vain. One day, it realizes
that the tugging and pulling is of no use. It starts believing that it cannot be free. When
the baby elephant turns into a mighty giant, it is still tied in the same manner. It could
with one tug, walk away free, but it does not do so because it believes that it cannot do
so. Sad but true!
As humans, even our belief system is a result of numerous past experiences and
external influences, which in many cases might be based on opinions and perceptions
and not the truth! Analyse. Know yourself. Love your Dream.
Strong and unshakeable belief makes you committed towards your goals
A committed person becomes aware of the possibilities and opportunities that exist
around him/her!

SALES is an ‘ART’
No two finger prints are the same so even every customer will have different mind
set
Learning the do’s is important but learning the don’ts is even more important
Do you know that Edison had to face 9999 failures and then finally had success at
10000th attempt!
The reward can only be achieved by those who are ready for the struggle!
SALES is an ‘OFFER’
DO NOT CONVINCE!
Has it ever happened that in a good restaurant or in an aeroplane, waiters or flight
stewards have tried to convince you buy a certain dish/item?
Remember the Golden Rule –
SW SW SW WN
Some Will, Some Won’t, So What, Who’s Next...
SALES is a ‘RESPONSIBILITY’
The idea is to communicate that You, as Team ANI, can take care of all kinds of
Real Estate Buying Needs.
CRM - Knowledge Bank
If you make your customer understand that your company takes care of all
Real Estate Buying needs and that too at the best possible prices, you are
bound to get business from them, directly or indirectly, whether today or in
the near future.

HANDLING
Opening
We are known to be the most ethical real estate company in India, specializing
in helping our customer’s buy best properties at fair prices which are either
Ready-To-Move or RERA registered.
The options that I am talking about are residential flats, villas, penthouses,
duplex, plots, studios and commercial space & IT/ITES space etc. and these are
spread across Noida, Greater Noida, Greater Noida West, Yamuna Expressway,
Noida Expressway, Ghaziabad, Vrindavan, etc.
You will be surprised to know that in some projects one can book their home in
just a few thousand rupees, and that too in the best brands / locations.
To top it all we also have certain options that gives Assured Rental for at least
___ years starting from ______ per month depending on the project. Offers
that are for a very limited period, from time to time and certainly worth
visiting.
Contd.
There are a couple of options where Resort Style living is being offered at very
economical prices. Once you have a look, you will fall in love with such
properties.
Once you have a look, you will not want to miss such an Opportunity + In some
of the projects there is a chance of getting CORPORATE DISCOUNTS as well!
The best thing about Real Estate Investment is that over a long term horizon, it
gives great Price Appreciation + Rental Value also!
Most importantly from what I have learnt at Acres N Inches is the minute
details that one should take care of. For e.g.- Even in a Ready-To-Move
Property, “does the property have an Occupancy Certificate?” “What will be the
Maintenance Charges per month?” “Are the Authority instalments paid as due,
etc.?” Similarly, in projects that are not ready, apart from being RERA
registered (up-rera.in), “how much is the carpet area (not the covered area)?”
“What are the room sizes?” “What is the earnest money clause?” etc.
NOTE: It is important to give an overview of the investment options available (For
example – bottom price range available / brands available / attractive deals
available, etc.) so that you may get to know, in which kind of product your
prospect is interested.
Probing
NOTE: Probing sequence may vary as per the case and flow of
conversation.
Sample Probing – Open Ended
Over a horizon of 5-7 years, what % of returns would you expect for you to
invest? Although, we cannot predict, but I asked so that on the basis of the past
record of a brand, the location, etc., I would want to make a few suggestions.
When, during next week, can you and _____ take out half a day’s time? I
would want you to visit some of the project sites, where you can see some really
beautiful options, currently available at very low prices. In fact, in some there is
a limited period Corporate Discount too (subject to certain criteria)
If I were to tell you that by investing as low as _____ upfront and a monthly
instalment of _____, you can buy a property in ______ location in a project
with USPs like ___________, when would you want to visit? OR By when can
you arrange the payment? I asked you because this offer is only till _____.
Sample Probing
(After the prospect shows interest)
If we can get you something really beneficial; where would you like to invest, in
residential project or commercial project?
If we find the right property, how soon are you prepared to make a decision? I
asked because we have certain proposals currently available at prices that are
much lower than the original price but only till date. (corporate discount for
exclusively marketed project)
How soon do you need to move? I asked because we have both ready to move as
well as other options but prices are certainly different!
How many are in your family? Do you have school-age children? I asked
because we have certain projects which have special facilities for children.
How much money would you want to allocate for monthly payments? I asked
so that I may suggest accordingly.
Will this be the first property in your name? I asked because, for 1st time
buyers, subject to certain terms, the Government has provided the Pradhan
Mantri Awas Yojna, where in on a home loan, there is a huge amount of rebate.
Which other projects have you checked and why have you not closed the deal?
Its really important that you must be sure that you pick the best. The more you
see the better you can decide.
You will understand exactly what customer is looking for and what he is not
looking for. Now you can present the Opportunity based on his/her requirements.
So if any customer say that the project was very far from proposed metro station
that why they did not purchase; So, now we know that we will have to present
those projects which are at a walking distance from metro station.
Sample Probing
(To confirm requirement)
What I understood is that you are looking for a 2 BHK ready-to –move
residential option within a budget of _____ lacs. Is that correct?
If I am able to understand correctly you are looking to invest around ___ lacs
in commercial wherein you can start getting immediate returns?
So, you are looking to invest in something that yields you good returns &
appreciation where you currently have to pay only ____ lacs. and the monthly
instalment should not be more than ____ thousand. Is that correct?
Your plan is to settle in Greater Noida post retirement hence you are looking
for a residential option there?
Providing Solution
1. CONFIDENCE 2. CURIOSITY
4C
(Follow the 4 C
and you Foresee)
3. CONTROL 4. COMMITMENT
1. Confidence
Apart from the knowledge that gives you confidence, take pride in the
OPPORTUNITY that you are presenting
The way you present could be the deal maker or breaker
Be a virtual painter. Make the customer visualize staying in that project. Show
the video/brochure of the project and highlight what you feel are the best
Feature/Advantage/Benefits
Remember, the purpose of the meeting is to close for Site Visit. Even a super hit
film, if narrated in a drawing room, will loose its charm.
For example – Once you have a look at the project, you will fall in love with it.
It looks like a resort! And is currently available at a dirt cheap prices, compared
to its original price. (Please make sure, that if you use such a statement, the
project must actually match the standards that you are setting.)
3. Control
Select the project and its features based on the prospect’s need/interest and
explain only those.
Be careful about –
What to say?
How much to say?
When to say?
NOTE: Detail of discounts are to be disclosed only after the site visit
and that too by your senior.
4. Commitment
Take commitment for site visit and enter the required details on the CRM, so
that SMS for the visit is sent to the prospect.
Sample SMS –
Site Visit Booking - Hello! (customer’s name). Thank you for your time. Cab
booked for 3 people for PR, ST, CM for pickup date (pickup date), pickup
time (pickup time). Please contact your ANI representative (associate’s
name) for any changes.
Site Visit Rescheduled - Hello! (customer’s name). Thank you for your time.
Cab has been rescheduled for 3 people for PR, ST, CM for pickup date
(pickup date), pickup time (pickup time). Please contact your ANI
representative (associate’s name) for any changes.
Site Visit Completion - Dear (customer’s name), thank you for giving us the
opportunity to help you find your dream home/property. Best Regards -
Team ANI
Objection Handling
Try to read the real objection. Suppose the customer says “this building is
not yet constructed”, the actual concern is not the construction but the safety of
his/her money. Always give assurance, answer and evidence/supporting
information.
Ask the prospect and his/her family if they have any more queries (ONLY
POSSIBLE IF ALL CONCERNED PEOPLE ARE AVAILABLE IN THE
MEETING/SITE VISIT)
Clarify their doubts with a smile, patience and in detail, and most importantly
with honesty
See, I have no issues even if you come alone! The reason that I am suggesting
you guys to come together is that just you and me might not be able to analyze
everything in one go! I am anyways totally convinced already and I do not want
you to see through my vision/view point. Coming along with your family will
ensure that you guys form your own independent opinion. Besides your
(wife/husband/mother/father) might see something in a different way than
you! All of you must like the property, only then it is worth buying! And besides
that, in some projects the company is right now running a corporate discount
program which is eligible only for end users / family and not for investors,
since we want to encourage maximum end users which will ensure that
maximum people are living in the society and not just locked homes! Our
company has a verification process to see who is a genuine end user, for which
family site visit acts as a medium for verification! By the way if you do decide
that you want to buy, if you get the corporate discount, the proposal will be dirt
cheap compared to its original price!
First of all, Corporate Discounts in Real Estate are given only in corporate deals
where a developer gets at least 100-200 bookings from a single corporate/MNC
or a government organization, for example; HCL, SAIL, INDIAN OIL. In
corporate deal the organization/MNC guarantees that there will be only
genuine buyers, no default in payments etc. along with recommendation
letters/id proof of each buyer etc. And volume is anywhere around 50-100 CR,
the builder does not mind giving a discount of 3-4 CR which gets distributed
evenly! However, in our company, in some projects, since we assure the Builder
of the volumes as well as quality of Business, we are also considering an End
User for this facility for which the company has an eligibility criteria and a
verification process; for example category of purchase, was the site visit done
with family or not, etc. just to authenticate as we want to encourage more of
end users! (It’s good for the property also as occupancy / foot fall will be
higher!!) Just like govt. schemes where the benefits are available only against
selected criteria!

Objection 3
What if I am not eligible for Home Loan?
Well, I suggest that if you have this apprehension, I can get you connected with our
home loan assistance team and you can apply for a pre sanction of your home loan.
This way you will get to know about the eligibility part and even the amount for
which you can get a Home Loan, so that you may plan accordingly. The only thing is
that if your file is declined or if you choose not to go for home loan with that bank,
you lose the processing fee, although it is a very minor amount! Normally it is
believed that one can pay an EMI of half of his/her take home! So if your take home
is __ you should get a home loan approval for about __ lacs for a __ years term
which means an EMI of approx. __ thousand. May I know what your average
monthly take home is? In many such cases people also add their spouse/ parent, as
a co-applicant so that the combined income may increase the eligibility amount.
But let me also tell you that home loan is not a cheap product. (Use home loan EMI
calculator) A __ lacs loan taken over a __ year period @__ interest per annum
means that you would be giving back approx. lacs! So I suggest take only that much
loan which is actually required. Besides, we also have Non Home Loan payment
options available, which can be considered. The monthly burden would increase
certainly, but you will also save lacs of rupees which had to go in interest payments.
Refer Knowledge Bank for more FAQs
Objection 4
Well that’s perfectly fine. Is it because you do not prefer investing in Real
Estate or is it a money concern? I asked because we have certain options that
are very easy on the pocket, where just by paying Rs __ and a monthly
investment of Rs __, one can buy a property in __ location with USPs like ___.
I suggest you must have a look at the project first. Even if you cannot buy now,
its okay.
Oh, I truly appreciate your friends’ concern for you and your hard earned
money! Not many people bother to give any advice these days! I suggest we
have a joint meeting; I would certainly want your friend too, to have a look at
how your safety concerns have been addressed and protected through proper
documentation between the Customer and Developer. Being your well wisher, I
am sure, he will be able to take out one hour of his time for something which
can be of importance to you and besides although I completely respect your
friend’s intelligence as well as integrity, but don’t you feel he will be able to
judge things better ONLY AFTER everything is in front of him. I am sure you
understand that in case your friends’ opinion is not correct, you might lose out
on a great investment. I am sure there is no harm meeting.
Site visit is must for all the prospects; as it is a construction site not a website
Make sure the prospect comes with his/her family for the site visit. (REAL
ESTATE IS AN ASSET WHICH IS PASSED ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS
AND HENCE IS A FAMILY DECISION)
No group site visit (one bird in the hand is better than two in bush)
Accompany your clients, come hell or high water
Pre-book the cab as per the procedure
Ensure that you and client are available as per the schedule
Be well aware of the routes
Travel time is time to build connect
Show them the important infrastructure near-by
Always carry the brochure
Contd.
Spend at least 20-25 minutes at each construction site with the prospect(s).
Make them see –
The facilities like clubhouse, recreational facilities, shops for daily needs
within the project (wherever possible)
The actual flat or the sample flat (as provided by concerned builder)
Post site visit, make sure of the prospect meeting your senior in office. In fact,
details/ pricing & discounts to be discussed by your senior.
Introducing Senior
NOTE: Once you set an upper hand of your senior, he/she will be able
to make your prospect understand in a better way!
SALE CLOSURE
Note:
We cannot hold a property beyond 2 days if booking procedures are
not completed. In such case, there is no guarantee for the said unit being
available and/or its applicable terms/prices.
Corporate discount wherever applicable is possible only after
eligibility criteria is met and even after that, it is strictly subject to
management discretion.
SAP
S A P
NOTE: You must inform the prospect that he/she will be receiving a Thank You
SMS in which there will be a couple of Feedback choices to enter. The given
feedback will help you understand the need / intent of the prospect.
Closing Techniques
Suggestive Close
You act as a consultant and give suggestion to the customer for buying
Example – Let me suggest you that at this point in time ____ project is the
best bet. Had I been at your place I would have definitely chosen this
because of ____.
Urgency Close
You create need in the customer by either talking about limited period
discount or choice of inventory
Yes No
Remember real estate deals may/may not get closed in 1-2 days (complete
process)
Ensure regular and timely follow up. UPDATE each follow up / meeting /
detail (expected closure date / client not interested, etc.) on CRM
If someone has said NO, still send them regular updates about new offers or
projects (KIT)
Don’t forget to wish all your existing and potential clients on special occasions
USE YOUR LIFELINE ! ASK YOUR SENIORS TO HELP YOU (either in
assessing the client’s intentions or getting the sale closed)
REMEMBER – “Not Interested Now” does not mean “NOT INTERESTED
FOREVER”.
