The book (in progress) explains the seven-layer method. This course applies it to Real Estate Investors conversations; written lessons and practice are available now.

Start with the decision behind the property

Understand the
seller’s decision.

“I need to talk with my spouse before deciding.” tells you where to begin. The seller’s price is one part of the conversation. Learn what is shaping their move, timing and alternatives before you discuss an offer.

Read the investor preparation and review guide

SELLER

“I need to talk with my spouse before deciding.”

A USEFUL NEXT QUESTION

“What would you both want to understand before deciding?”

SELLER REPLY

“Where we'd live next, and whether we'd have time to move.”

The next useful conversation is about their move. An individual yes would leave the shared decision unresolved.

Fictional teaching example

TRY ANOTHER CONVERSATION / Real Estate Investors

A different concern changes what you prepare.

Choose what you would ask next. Open each response to compare.

SELLER

When a co-owner holds the repair information

A different owner says, “My brother and I inherited the house. I’m ready to sell, but he handles the repair estimates.” You have not spoken to the brother or seen the estimates.

Fictional teaching case; names and details are invented.

WHAT WOULD YOU ASK NEXT?

What should you prepare next?

A joint discussion of both owners’ priorities, the repair information and the alternatives they are comparing.

Feedback on this response

This keeps the present owner’s view separate from shared authority and information held by the other owner. It makes a useful comparison possible.

A persuasive summary showing why selling now would remove the repair work, for this owner to take to the brother.

Feedback on this response

A summary may be useful after both views and the actual repair information are understood. At this point it assumes the absent owner shares the same priority and that selling now resolves the comparison.

Coaching & team training

In property conversations.

Accounts from earlier work with Ian on sales training, team development and property negotiations.

Ian's sales training helped me buy more houses at a deeper discount.

A better question in a competitive deal

Ian's sales training helped me buy more houses at a deeper discount. He helped me reframe a question which resulted in me buying a house for less money than other offers the seller had on the table.

Those conversations with Ian made me $50,000 on the past two deals.

Renegotiating the purchase price

Those conversations with Ian made me $50,000 on the past two deals. I was able to go back and renegotiate the original purchase price on one deal, saved $4,000, and got another $110,000 off.

After 20 years in sales, I thought I'd seen every framework. Ian's methods caused a complete paradigm shift for our team.

Team training

Retraining the entire sales team

Read the full account

After 20 years in sales, I thought I'd seen every framework. Ian's methods caused a complete paradigm shift for our team. At Unwind Land Co. we retrained our entire sales organization on the VIVID model, and went from averaging 8 deals per quarter to over 40. That's 400%+ year over year. Most "gurus" only know their niche. Ian's system works because it maps the psychology underneath every conversation, regardless of what you're selling.

These accounts concern earlier work with Ian. The self-paced VIVID courses are a separate learning format. Individual experiences and results vary.
