“Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind” (Rudyard Kipling). Words have a genuinely fascinating effect on people. When a person reads words not just as sets of characters, but as ideas or feelings, the actual power of those words and phrases will stimulate, inspire, and encourage the reader.

In our business, many real estate professionals begin their career by learning scripts and dialogs to communicate the most effective, powerful answers to prospects’ concerns and objections. That’s because using the right words will produce a desirable result.
We all know that there’s a strong link between words and behaviors or actions.

If you want great results from your ad copy or scripts and dialogs, become a master in the study of words. Learn to harness the amazing power of words. Become meticulous in your selection of words for every piece of your sales and marketing materials, including your website and social media network. Deliberately select each word – it matters. Check and measure your words for maximum impact.

Consider these words: SPEND and INVEST. Do you want your broker to spend your hard-earned money, or invest it? Because spending your money doesn’t promise a return, you’d most likely prefer to invest your money, right? Now apply these same words to a buyer contemplating a purchase and pay attention to how that affects their thinking.

Now think about the words COST and VALUE. These words are not only synonyms, but also antonyms. Try the following to get the full impact of what I’m saying. In the sentence, “Mr. and Mrs. Buyer, the _________ of this home is at $286,000.” Fill in the blank using first the word “cost” and then the word “value”. You’ll hear the difference, and it’s considerable.

To be effective in your sales and marketing efforts, realize that the words you write and speak must have value to your prospect/client/customer. Simply filling space in a sales letter, email, or brochure with low impact words is like trying to boil cold water without a fire.
