A script you can use on your very next call

that separates broke agents from million-dollar producers.

Here’s a simple script that separates broke agents from million-dollar producers.

It’s called the alternative close—and once you get comfortable with it, you’ll book more appointments than you know what to do with.

Here’s the exact wording:

👉 “What works better for you, today at 10 am or would 4 pm work better?

That’s it. Seven little words that change everything.

Why it works:

  • It assumes the client already wants to move forward.

  • It puts you in control—without sounding pushy.

It keeps momentum. (No appointments = no deals.)

How to practice it:

  1. Role play it daily until it rolls off the tongue.

  2. Use it on every appointment-setting call.

  3. Don’t ask if—only when.

  4. Try it an an open house. I"ll follow up with you at 5PM after the open house or would tomorrow at 10AM work better?

Try it on your next call or next interaction and watch what happens.

Callie Craig, Buyer’s Specialist

I chose real estate because I wanted more than just a job—I was ready to build a true career and start my life as a productive woman with a purpose. When it came time to pick a brokerage, Skender-Newton Realty stood out. A past agent I trusted spoke so highly about the team’s training, support, and warm, welcoming culture that I knew it was the right place for me. They’ve gone above and beyond those expectations. Since joining SNR, I’ve truly come out of my shell—where I once was hesitant to talk to people, I’m now confident, connecting with clients, and even getting more involved in the community. The growth I’ve experienced here, both personally and professionally, is a direct reflection of the people and resources at Skender-Newton Realty, and I’m proud to be part of a team that feels like family while pushing me to reach my goals.
