Most agents lose the commission conversation in the first 10 seconds. They fold and feel sick about it for the next 90 days. Or they defend the number with logic and watch the listing go to a discount agent.
Both responses come from the same mistake. Treating the question as a yes or no decision instead of an opening to a negotiation you can actually win.
This guide is the exact 3 question sequence I run on every commission objection. It works because it does not argue. It pulls the seller off the number and onto the value, where full commission is the easy answer.
Inside this guide:
The 3 question sequence in order with the exact wording and the reasoning behind why each one works. The follow up scripts for the 3 most common reasons sellers ask. The objection handlers for "my friend got a lower rate," "you will make plenty on this house," "it is a hot market the home will sell itself," and "what is the lowest you will go." The honest read on when to actually negotiate (3 specific scenarios) and when to never break. The marketing plan trade off that ends the negotiation every time.
Print it. Memorize the 3 questions. Hold the line.
