Thursday Nov. 29th- Case study Results Revealed: How and When to Present Pricing so More of Your Prospects Buy from You

On Thursday November 29th Rick Storlie of New Home Sales Coach will be continuing a 3 part webinar series leading up to his presentation, “5 Custom Builder Sales Strategies Revealed” at the 2013 International Builders Show in Las Vegas.

It’s an all too familiar scenario in the world of home building- that uneasy feeling a builder gets when a price is presented to a prospect. With the housing recovery seemingly in place, there’s still one area today’s new home and remodeling buyers are still uneasy- Pricing.

According to Rick Storlie of New Home Sales Coach, a new home sales training firm that specializes helping home builders and remodelers reach their sales goals, today’s new home and remodeling prospective buyers are still too focused on pricing.

“I’m seeing better buyer activity all across North America. My clients have more prospects than they did a year ago. What hasn’t changed, however, is price resistance. It’s still a topic I address daily,” Storlie said recently.

Storlie sees a shift among his home builder and remodeler clients. Instead of asking ‘how do I survive,’ they are now asking ‘how do I start increasing margins?’ It’s a problem he calls the Value Gap.

“The Value Gap is the difference between a prospective buyers perception of what the service is worth and what they’re willing to pay. We’re in an industry where 95 – 99% of all builders do virtually the same thing. When a prospective buyer can’t tell the difference, price is the default metric,” Storlie commented.

To add to the complexity of the issue, Storlie sees a radical difference when and how pricing should be presented based on the source the prospect used to find the builder. He contends that too often, a builder presents a price before the Value Gap is closed and unnecessarily loses a sale.

“There are 3 key elements a builder needs to take into consideration before presenting a price. First, they need to know how the prospect found them. Second, there should be a deposit established and third, the pricing should be formatted using lump sum and itemization,” Storlie argues.

Using case studies of home builders and remodelers, Storlie has documented some best practices to use when presenting pricing. All builders are invited to attend the November 29th webinar free of charge.
