In this powerful episode of The Science of Flipping, I’m joined by sales powerhouse and self-proclaimed “data nerd” Benmont Locker. We tackle a mindset shift most investors desperately need: sales is senior to marketing. If you’re torching cash on leads but have no clear sales system, you’re doomed to chaos and burnout. Ben breaks down how his team has closed thousands of deals by obsessing over a consistent, repeatable sales process — one that could plug into any industry.
We dig into:
Why scripts alone won’t save you — you need a framework that builds trust, uncovers real emotion, and closes deals with integrity.
The 5-step sales sequence every investor needs: set expectations, build trust, qualify/disqualify, present options, and close strong.
How to use pattern interrupts and “creating space” — virtually and in person — to get the deal done.
Ben’s unique take on giving sellers the “Disney Experience” — delivering unmatched value so price becomes secondary.
Why too many people hide behind busy work instead of sharpening their sales sword.
How introverts, data geeks, and self-doubters can transform into confident closers by leaning on proven systems and community accountability.
We also get real about what’s stopping you — self-sabotage, victim mindset, and waiting for the perfect plan. If you’ve ever felt stuck or “not good enough,” Ben’s story and framework will light a fire under you.
