Learn it in a minute. Own it in the room.

Everything Coach scores you on, the lines that actually work with each character, and three drills you can sing in the car. Read it once, then go practice — the learning happens out loud.

The five scores

What Coach is listening for.

Five things, in the order a real conversation needs them. Each one has a drill you can run in your next session.

Rapport

Sounding like a person who is listening — not a person who is waiting to talk. Matching their energy: quiet with Carol, brisk with Nina, unhurried with Diane. Using their words back to them.

DrillBefore you say anything about yourself, repeat one thing they just said in your own words. "So the last agent went quiet on you for three weeks." Then ask the next question.

Discovery

The questions that matter, asked before you pitch. Timeline. Motivation. What happened last time. Most lost listings were lost in the first ninety seconds, when the agent started explaining instead of asking.

DrillRun The Listing Interview and do not say a number until Diane has told you where she's going and when. If she pushes for one, say "I'll give you a real number in about four minutes — first I need to understand the house."

Value

Explaining what you actually do, in plain and specific language, tied to what they told you they want. "Full service" is not value. "I'll have a photographer here Thursday and you'll be live the following Tuesday with a pricing strategy built around your Thanksgiving move" is.

DrillRun The Commission Conversation and answer Rick's "so sell me" with three specifics — negotiation, buyer pool, pricing strategy — each in one sentence. No adjectives.

Objections

The loop: acknowledge, clarify, answer, confirm. Never argue, never fold. An objection is a question wearing a coat — take the coat off before you answer.

DrillWhen Diane brings up Susan's house, say "good — let's talk about Susan's house" and ask two questions about it before you say a word about comps.

Close

Asking for a clear commitment with a date on it — and asking again when the first answer is "let me think about it." One ask is polite. Two is professional.

DrillDo not end any scene without naming a day. "Can I send the agreement tonight and get the photographer here Thursday?" If they stall, answer the stall, then ask once more.
Lines that work

One line per character. Steal them.

These aren't scripts to read. They're the moment each scene turns, and the shape of what a top agent says there.

Marcus · The Buyer Consultation

When he asks why he should sign anything

Your brother-in-law's right — you don't have to sign anything. Here's what signing gets you, and here's what happens to you if you don't.
Agree with the true part first. Then make the paper about him, not you.
Diane · The Listing Interview

When she wants a number in the first minute

Before we talk price — what's prompting the move, and what timeline are you working with?
The timeline is the price. Once she says "Thanksgiving in Charlotte," $695k has a reason.
Rick · The Commission Conversation

When he says the discount guys do it for one

They do, and for some houses that's the right call. What matters more to you — the fee, or what you net after the negotiation?
Move from fee to net. Then give him three specifics, each in one sentence.
Carol · The Expired Listing Call

When you're the twelfth call this week

I know I'm number twelve, so I'll be quick — and I'm not calling to list it. One question: what did the last agent tell you about why it didn't sell?
A question she hasn't been asked eleven times. Let her tell the story.
Tony · The FSBO Conversation

When he says he's had four of you already

You built the deck and the sign — you're not the one I'm worried about. What are the nosy neighbors saying after the showings?
Respect the work. Ask about the showings. Offer something useful with no strings.
Gary · The Price Reduction

When he says the photos are the problem

I told you $549k was aggressive and I let us go there — that's on me. Here's what one showing in two weeks tells us, and here's the number that changes it.
Own your part first. Then it's data, not blame.
Nina · The Multiple-Offer Negotiation

When she has four minutes and three offers

I'll be quick. Beyond price — what does your seller want most? Timing, a rent-back, certainty on the appraisal?
Terms win multiple-offer situations more often than the last dollar. Ask, then confirm what you heard.
Coach · every scene

The two questions Coach asks about every conversation

Did you ask before you told? And did you leave with a date?
If both answers are yes, the score takes care of itself.
Drills · sing it in the car

Three songs. Three principles.

There's a reason you still know the alphabet song. Play these between showings until the hook is in your head — then notice it show up in your next conversation.

How you sounded

The numbers under the scorecard.

On the laptop version, RepRoom measures your delivery from your audio. Here's what each number means and where to aim.

Pace

Words per minute while you were talking. Fast reads as nervous; slow reads as unsure.

Target 140–170 wpm
Your share of the talking

Your talk time as a share of the conversation. The person doing the asking should not be the one doing most of the talking.

Target 40–55%
Fillers

"Um," "uh," "you know," "kind of," "basically." Replace each one with a half-second of silence.

Target under 3 per minute
Response time

How long after the character stops before you start. Too long after an objection reads as caught out; too short reads as not listening.

Target 0.5–2.0 s
Questions asked

Discovery wins these scenes. Count them.

Target 4 or more
Interruptions

Times you started while they were still talking. Let the whole objection land.

Target 0–1
Longest monologue

Your longest uninterrupted stretch. Break a pitch with a check-in question.

Target under 40 s
