jameswhity Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Hello Friends,Beware of those buyers who will just come with too many discussions. Some will waste about 30-45 minutes chatting and pretending they are serious but the moment you send them an offer, they say goodbye, they disappear. Now, the question is how can you avoid this kind of buyers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankinfinite Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It is the same with offline businesses as well. Those who enquire the most, seldom buy. There is no specific way to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacpunch Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I have a consultation gig, I created it in order to deter that from happening.Since then nobody has done anything like that, I don’t know if it’s coincidence or if people just don’t want to pay to ask questions. :woman_shrugging:That’s helped me.

rankinfinite Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Offline may be different because you waste no money for browsing or chatting.Yes, but you waste money travelling. My family has been running a real estate business for decades, and they always complain that the ones who waste their time the most are the ones who never buy.

But this, you may even run down your battery or miss a good buyer, just as it happened to me a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyaxrex Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Set yourself a 3 message limit. I’m hopeless at this but basically, after 2-3 messages just say, ‘sorry I’m actually very busy at the moment.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uxreview Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I’ve had a different experience with “talkers”. I see it as an opportunity to sell my services. In most cases the more I can explain my service the more they realise that they need it 😛That being said, I do have a consulting gig in case it’s not going anywhere and I need to stop the conversation or get paid for it.

mariokluser Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 At a certain point I say: “I’m sure you will find a seller who will fit your needs and budget”.Not offensive and says enough, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep asking after that they are not going to buy usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
