Hands-on practice

The conversation you're avoiding

You're going to practice asking a seller to lower their price. The seller is simulated, but it will still push back and challenge your reasoning.

1

Open ChatGPT

Sign in on your laptop. A free account is fine.

Open ChatGPT in a new tab

Already use Claude instead? Everything here works there too.

2

Copy the setup

This tells ChatGPT who to be. You never have to read it.

3

Paste it and answer five questions

Click into the message box in ChatGPT, paste, press Enter. It asks you five quick things about one of your listings:

What you originally listed it for What it's priced at now Days on the market Roughly how many showings Who set the original price, and any revisit agreement

Type your answers on one line and press Enter. Use a real listing if you have one — that's what makes this worth doing. No address, no client name, nothing private. Then it answers:

Ready. Turn on voice and say GO when you want me to start.

Turn on voice and say GO

Look at the far right of the message box. There are two icons:

The microphone just types what you say.
The circle with sound waves, all the way at the end, is the one you want — that's voice. Click the circle.

Then say "GO" out loud. Your seller picks up the phone.

Talk to her like a real call. She has your numbers now and she'll argue with them. She won't agree easily. Keep going — it ends on its own.

5

Hear your debrief

She drops the act and tells you honestly how you did — what worked, where she stopped believing you, what to do on the real call.

Close the voice screen when she's finished. The whole debrief is written out in your chat, ready to read again or save.

If something goes sideways

She agreed way too fast

Say: "You gave in too easily. Start over and don't agree unless I actually prove it."

It skipped the five questions and started right in

Type: "Ask me the five setup questions first."

She started talking before you said GO

No harm. Play along, or type "start over".

She broke character and started coaching you

Type: "Stay in character as Dana."

You can't find the voice button

It disappears while there's text in the message box. Send your message first and it comes back.

Take the prompt with you

This page stays up for this group through Wednesday, September 2, then it comes down.

Copy the setup before then and save it somewhere you'll find it — an email to yourself, a note on your phone. It's yours. Run it before any listing conversation you're dreading, as often as you want.

Dana is the first of these. We're building practice sessions like this one into Vessa, our AI employee for real estate agents — the reputation and review side is already live and working for agents today.
