Defensive Prospect — Trust Barrier
Train with a guarded, skeptical prospect who was burned by a past agent and now resists all agents on principle. The agent uncovers the specific failure, a possible next-year timeline, and what honest follow-through would need to look like — without becoming defensive.
Prospect
What do you want?
Agent
Fair question. I don't want to waste your time. I was reaching out because I work with owners in the area, and I wanted to see if selling is even something you might consider down the road.
Prospect
That's what agents always say before they start pushing.
Agent
I can understand why you'd react that way. It sounds like you've had a bad experience before.
Prospect
Yeah.
Agent
What happened?
Prospect
An agent talked big, promised a lot, and then disappeared when things got difficult.
Agent
That would make anyone skeptical. Did that just sour you on agents in general, or did it affect whether you'd sell at all?
Prospect
Both, honestly.
Agent
So you're not just frustrated with one person. It changed how you think about the whole process.
Prospect
Exactly.
Agent
Understood. If you ever did sell, would that be something you're thinking about now, or further down the road?
Prospect
Not now. Maybe next year.
Agent
Got it. So the timing might be next year, but the bigger issue is whether you could trust anyone enough to go through it again.
Prospect
That's right.
Agent
Fair. What would someone have to do differently for you to even consider having that conversation again?
Prospect
Be honest. Don't overpromise. Actually follow through.
Agent
Makes sense. Were you left feeling misled on pricing, communication, or just the whole experience?
Prospect
Mostly communication and follow-through. Once things got complicated, suddenly the confidence disappeared.
Agent
That's a hard experience to come back from. If someone approached it more directly and set realistic expectations from the start, would that at least make it possible to talk, even if you weren't ready to act yet?
Prospect
Maybe. Possible is not the same as likely, but maybe.
Agent
Fair enough. I'm not asking you to decide anything now. I just wanted to understand where the resistance comes from instead of pretending it isn't there.
Prospect
Well, that's at least more honest than most.
