The 84% That Changes the Conversation
Oct 05, 2026Here’s something I want you to think about: 84% of your believability on the phone isn’t what you say — it’s the way you say it.
That’s a big number.
Because in real estate, so much of your business happens on the phone. Buyer follow-up. Conversations with owners. Pre-framing an appraisal or listing presentation. Negotiating an offer. Checking in with a client.
The words matter, but the way you deliver those words matters even more.
Think about your energy, your tone, your pace and your certainty.
Are you sounding like someone who genuinely believes in the value you bring? Or are you simply going through the motions and ticking off another call?
And remember, the phone works both ways — incoming and outgoing.
The energy and value you put out there influences what comes back to you. The more effective you become on the phone, the more opportunities you create for conversations, appointments and business.
So don’t just make the call.
Master the call.
Get clear on how you want to sound, bring the right energy to the conversation and make every phone interaction count.
