A warm welcome to you on behalf of Team ANI for giving your precious time and
helping us achieve our mission of bringing clarity into real estate.

Ground Rules

 No cell phone usage

 No stepping out of the session– If you can’t sit for 2.5 hours you may choose to
go right now

 No cross talk

 Respect each other

 Ask questions – Since this is a time bound session, we cannot take up questions
in between. As it is, the presentation is designed in such a way that most of your
question will get answered. However, if towards the end you still have some
questions, you may get in touch with us or ask at the end of the presentation.

 Participate
Previous Sessions

If you have not attended ‘Introduction to ANI’, you have missed receiving answer
to ‘Why to sell with ANI’; ‘Who is an Associate’, ‘What are your earning & growth
prospect’, ‘What support will you get’, etc.

If you have missed any or both of the Product Session, then you would not know
the answer to ‘What to Sell with ANI’; Greater Noida Location Advantage, Project
Overview, USP’s, Unit Calculation, etc.

Please get in touch with the person who has referred you so that you may get
registered for the session that you have missed.
Why are you here?

 How have you come here, advertisement or reference?

 Do you know that this is commission based program or not?

 Everyone at ANI is not successful (just like any other business)!

 Reason for these questions and discussion is to ask you to pay attention &
analyse all of this well; so you take a well informed decision, doesn’t matter
whether it’s a YES or NO. Ensure that if it is a YES then later there should be no
regrets and if it is a NO even then there should be no REGRETS!
Quiz

 Bonus & Differential Commission

 Differential Commission of an Associate on his/her Team Sale is calculated


as the difference in percentage between the Commission Slab of the said
Associate and the Commission Slab of the Associate of highest
Rank/Designation in the chain. Differential Slab as applicable on a team
sale, ranges between 5% to 50% of commission value on that sale.

 Onetime Bonus Team Sale Commission is the Commission which only in


select conditions and at the sole discretion of the ANI management may be
claimed on a Sale only by any one individual Associate in whose Team the
said Sale occurs. Bonus Slab, if applicable on a team sale, is fixed at 5% of
the commission value on that sale.

 Pushed Up Promotion

 It may happen that an associate ‘A’ may have a certain Referred Associate
(let’s say ‘x’) in his/her team and the said Referred Associate may achieve the
designation of BDM/GM/AVP even before the said Associate ‘A’ (if the said
Referred Associate ‘x’ fulfils the criteria for the said Designation even before
the said Associate ‘A’ in whose team the said Referred Associate ‘x’ is
working.) This is possible when the said Associate ‘A’ has not done any other
Sale in his/her Team apart from the Sales that have happened in the team of
the said Referred associate ‘x’. In such a case, the said associate ‘A’ will have
to fulfil the following to get the said Designation.
 Either do a Direct Sale in order to achieve the said Designation OR
 Do at least 30% of the weightage criteria required for the said Designation
from his/her other teams (other teams means those teams of Associate ‘A’
under which the said Referred Associate ‘x’ does not fall.)

What is Sales?

A transaction between two parties where the buyer receives goods (tangible or
intangible), services and/or assets in exchange for money

At ANI, we believe that:

SALES is about ‘BELIEF’!


Belief in the Company,
the Product, and
most importantly YOURSELF!

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’

“Art of Persuasion without Persuading.”


Art of understanding different human minds and dealing with it

No two finger prints are the same so even every customer will have different mind
set

Image Source : Google


Contd.

SALES is about ‘LEARNING’


First learn to learn, then learn, then learn to teach, then teach and then teach how
to teach!

Note: In order to learn on a regular basis, you must come regularly!


Even part-time means PART OF EACH DAY!
“No time for learning = No scope for earning”
Most Associates come to office only when they have a potential client or when they
have a potential candidate to be referred.
What will happen if you open your shop only when a customer will come???

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!

Image Source : Google


Contd.

SALES is about ‘SACRIFICE’


Success and Sacrifice go hand in hand!

EGO => Enter and GO out of business!


GREED => You can only be fair to yourself if you are fair to your customers!
Children & Beggars are great examples of ‘no ego attitude’ and prospecting skills!
Both refuse to give up! (We are not however advising you to have a begging
attitude!)
Greed is when someone needs a 2 BHK you encourage him for 3 BHK OR
someone who has no need for IT space is encouraged to buy one just to get
Assured Return OR someone taking a promotion not being encouraged because of
temporary loss in differential commission

Short Term Pleasure = Long Term Pain


Short Term Pain = Long Term Pleasure

More the Knowledge, Lesser the EGO!


Lesser the Knowledge, More the EGO!!! – ALBERT EINSTEIN Image Source : Google
Contd.

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...

Image Source : Google


Contd.

SALES is a ‘RESPONSIBILITY’

You are the one taking RESPONSIBILITY.... Have that ATTITUDE!


At ANI we sell with RESPONSIBILITY and PRIDE.

Even a single drop of water can create multiple ripples!


Image Source : Google
Must have skills

 Product Knowledge (Detailed in Product Sessions)


You need to learn to stand first in order to walk and then run or jump

 It is most important that you must know about –


i. The product types (group housing, plots, villas, villaments and duplex units,
studio apartments, IT/ITES office spaces, commercial shops, etc.)
ii. The price range of various products to suit every customer’s pocket (basic
selling price, PLCs, other charges, GST, etc.)
iii. Different locations and their connectivity/infrastructure/USPs
iv. Different payment plan offers as and when applicable (Minimum contribution
+ basic home loan procedures)
v. Appreciation over the past across various locations, brands, projects so that
your customer may estimate future appreciation and decide accordingly

The idea is to communicate that You, as Team ANI, can take care of all kinds of
Real Estate Buying Needs.
CRM - Knowledge Bank

This tool will help


you to shortlist
properties based
on the needs of a
prospect.

Here you will get


important
information about
each project. For
ex. RERA code,
Possession time
along with 4 USPs.
Must have skills – contd.

 Strategic Prospecting Skills (To be discussed later)


 If you do not select the prospects wisely chances of them getting converted
into customers will not be very bright
 Rapport Building
 Making the customer realize that you are his/her well wisher, otherwise
customer will neither trust you nor be comfortable with you to discuss their
finances
 Communication Skill - Have you ever noted that Lord Ganesha, the God of
wisdom has such big ears (effective listening), long nose (smell what you can’t
hear or see) and a small hidden mouth (speak only when required)
 Verbal Communication – Spoken, texted, email; takes care of ‘What’ part of
the communication.
 Non-verbal Communication – Tone, expression, body language, gestures;
takes care of ‘How’ part of the communication.
 Objection Prevention & Handling – To be discussed later
 Closing – To be discussed later
Must have skills – contd.

 Customer Relationship Management

 To be done even with those who don’t buy

 A good prospect/customer relationship management implies that in future,


whenever the customer or anyone amongst his/her family and friends wants
to purchase a property they should contact you (ANI)

 The KIT Approach: Keep In Touch, always!

 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.

PROSPECTING

Questions

 How many of you can pen down two hundred prospects name in an hour?

 What if you were to get Rs. 500/name?

 How many of you think that if all this 200 are APPROACHED..AND SOME
WONT VISIT BUT SOME OBVIOUSLY WILL, how many sales will you close?

 Let’s just say 1 sale, and your commission is 1 lac, which is nothing but Rs.
500/person!

 Moral: Each name is important. Please do not prejudge,

List Creation on CRM

 You can create your list on CRM for better management and tracking
 Details will be confidential and not visible to anybody
 List down all the names from your phone book, social media contacts, etc.
 Segregate them as your Hot Market / Warm Market / Cold Market as per your
rapport / relationship with them and your frequency of meeting them

 Advantage of Hot / Warm Market –


 Possibility of closure is higher and faster in warm market
 If you focus majorly on your warm market, your team will do the same
 Warm market closure will act as evidence for your cold market clients too
Contd.

 A Qualified List gives you added advantages on the CRM. IT IS ADVISABLE


THAT BEFORE AN ASSOCIATE CREATES A QUALIFIED LIST, HE/SHE
MUST PRE-INFORM THE INDIVIDUALS ON THE LIST.
 Benefit of a Qualified List –
 Also there will be facility to send ANI profile and product related
information / PPTs through Email
 There will be facility to send individual SMS and group SMS

NOTE: If you will not prospect those in your contact book, someone else will!

Think, if you make a list of 100. Each gives you just one sale directly or
through references over a period of ten years. How much will you
earn?
NOTE
 Do not pre-judge on the basis of area/location (Even out of Delhi market and
NRI clients), appearance, etc. EACH NAME IS IMPORTANT.
 Females to meet clients at ANI office only

OPENING
STEPS

PROVIDING
SOLUTION
OBJECTION
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

 Questions that help in uncovering the need


 Rehearse your questions well
 Aptly combine open ended and close ended questions
Open Ended – Let the customer answer in detail
Close Ended – Give customer options to choose from
 You will get the clarity on which project you would be emphasizing
 Start with open ended probing and towards end ask close ended questions,
what you will get is customer’s need / requirement
 Do remember to check how much customer knows about Greater Noida (Green
Area, Infrastructure, Sports, Tourism, Education, IT/ITES/MNCs, etc.)
 Don’t ask questions back to back, make it conversational
 Acknowledge every answer and assure the customer

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!

 Do you have some particular requirement in mind? For example – Number of


bedrooms, sizes of the room, any special facilities in your home or township. I
asked so that I may suggest accordingly.
Contd.

 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?

project must actually match the standards that you are setting.)

explain only those.

 Be careful about –
 What to say?
 How much to say?
 When to say?

prospect come for a site visit?

 NOTE: Detail of discounts are to be disclosed only after the site visit
and that too by your senior.
4. Commitment

Objection Handling

 Objection prevention – Customer A asked ques 1, 2, 3; customer B asked 2, 3, 5;


customer C asked 3, 4, 7. Now as we can see that ques 3 is standard question.
So it should be part of our presentation going forward.
 Objection may come at any time during the discussion. Don’t go on back foot
because of objections.
 Always welcome the objection! As it is, in an emotional country like ours,
very few people raise their actual objection (whether it is a classroom or
an investment proposal). Most people do not easily express their feelings
(objections). So give them enough space. Let them express their concern. Don’t
be a chatterbox. Let the prospect feel that you have an answer to all his/her
queries.
 Correlate/Identify with his/her objection
 You are absolutely right Sir. These things do happen in our industry. In fact
another client of mine also had a similar concern but when he/she had a
thorough understanding of the project they got assured and even made their
family and friends invest through us.
Contd.

 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

 Know the FAQs well (Refer Knowledge Bank)

 Remember – Objections indicate that the Customer is taking interest


Objection Time

Let’s discuss the major objections that you come across!


(Refer Knowledge Bank for more FAQs)
Objection 1

Why should I get my family along?

 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!

Objection 2

What is the eligibility criteria for Corporate Discount?

 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.

Objection 4

I am not looking at buying anything

 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.

Objection 5

A friend of mine has advised me to wait / not to invest in this project /


to invest in ABC project.

 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

PURPOSE – a) To close the sale


OR
b) To take at least 2 references
OR
c) To refer as Provisional Associate

NOTE: The achieved outcome to be UPDATED on CRM as well.


Site visit

 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)

 Other facilities in the neighbourhood like schools, hospitals, shopping mall


etc.
 Pattern to follow:
Office Site Visit Office
 Benefit when clients visit the office
 Trust is established
 Seniors could assist you whenever needed

 Even YOUR OWN BEHAVIOUR is much more professional and confident

 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

Mr./Ms. _(Client)_ he is my senior, Mr./Ms. ___. He is a _(mention


designation)_. He is associated with Acres n Inches from past ___ years. He is
the one who has set me on the path of growth and learning. I have requested
him/her to spend some time with us and help you understand pricing and
discounts. He/she is final decision maker regarding the discount and can work
out something extremely beneficial for you.

Sir/Ma’am he/she is Mr./Ms. _____. He is working as _(mention


designation)_ with _(company)_. He/she is interested in our Panchtatva /
Suryodaya / Crystal / ____ project.

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

PURPOSE – To book the unit


Closing

 Positive sale closure is a result of following all the steps right


 Closing with a deadline is important (Even before the site visit is planned, it is
better to create a sense of urgency with respect to limited period offers)
 Consider a sale closed only after the documentation is completed and payment
is clear
 Ask for References

Right Profiling + Funds Availability + Correct Handling = 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

Senior Associate Prospect

 Ideally, let your senior handle the closing


 Inform your senior about which construction sites has the prospect visited AND
what kind of a requirement / interest does the prospect have.
 Also inform your senior about which project(s) does the prospect prefer

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

 Assumptive Close (Assuming that the prospect is going to buy)


 You don’t wait for a clear yes or no, you keep going on with the booking
process
 You ask the prospect to narrow down on the project options and inventory
 Confirm the availability of the chosen inventory
 Inform the prospect about the required payment / documents (in the
concerned builder’s name)
 Ask the prospect to fill up the application form
 Ensure that the required inventory / unit is blocked

OPEN THE CRM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CLOSING TECHNIQUE


Contd.

 Alternate Choice Close


 You offer choice to the customer
 Example – Would you want to book you flat in _____ project or _____
project?

 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
