    How to Handle Sales Objections on a Live Call

    What do you actually say when a prospect tells you no? In this live sales training, Ace gets on the phone and works through real leads, real objections, hang-ups, callbacks, and follow-ups while coaching his team through each conversation. You'll see how Ace responds when prospects say they aren't interested, want to wait, need to think about it, need to talk to their spouse, already received another offer, or simply don't want to move forward. More importantly, you'll see what happens after the first objection. Ace breaks down how to ask better follow-up questions, uncover the real reason behind an objection, pivot the conversation, challenge a prospect when necessary, and keep the conversation moving without immediately accepting the first "no." One prospect goes from wanting to pass on the entire conversation to revealing she originally wanted to borrow $150,000, all because of one follow-up question. If you work in sales and want to improve your objection handling, follow-up, confidence, and ability to think on your feet, study these calls. In This Training: • Live sales calls • Sales objection handling • What to say when a prospect says "I'm not interested" • Handling "Let me think about it" • Handling "I need to talk to my spouse" • Following up with old leads • Calling prospects back after a hang-up • Asking better sales questions • Pivoting after objections • Creating urgency • Sales follow-up strategies • Turning objections into opportunities Support the show ⚡READY TO BUILD A REAL CAREER IN SALES, MORTGAGES, OR LEADERSHIP?

    How to Sell More Mortgages in a Tough Market

    The mortgage market is tougher, leads are tougher, but that doesn't mean there aren't loans to close. I started originating mortgages in 2015 and 2016, when rates were sitting around 6–7%, and was still closing 30, 40, and even 50 loans a month. In this team training, I'm breaking down what it takes to produce when the market isn't making your job easy. You'll learn why tougher markets require deeper client conversations, stronger introductions, better objection handling, relentless follow-up, and a willingness to actively create business instead of waiting for the perfect lead to show up. If you're a loan officer struggling with today's mortgage market, this is your reminder that difficult markets can create some of the strongest producers. Topics Covered: • Selling mortgages in a tough market • Mortgage sales strategies • How to close more loans • Loan officer prospecting • Mortgage objection handling • Following up with mortgage leads • Working old leads • Creating more mortgage opportunities • Loan officer mindset • Producing in a high-rate environment Subscribe for more loan officer training, mortgage sales strategies, objection handling, prospecting, and behind-the-scenes training from Takers Brokerage.
