"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go further, bring others along." In this episode of Becoming More, Dianna Kokoszka sits down with Inner Circle member Mackenzie Shelton, owner of the Prairie and Pine Real Estate Group.

In this special "From the Vault" episode of Becoming More, we travel back to 1997 for a legendary conversation between Dianna Kokoszka and Howard Brinton (Star Power Club). Before she was a CEO and a global leadership icon, Dianna was a ferocious real estate agent who sold 104 homes in her very first year. How? She didn't rely on luck; she relied on physics, logic, and a mastery of scripts that are just as lethal today as they were decades ago. Dianna breaks down the specific dialogues she used to win For Sale By Owners (FSBOs), defend her commission, and move clients from "thinking about it" to signing the contract. If you are in sales, real estate, or leadership, this is a masterclass in persuasion. In this episode, you will learn: ☑️ The "Cue Ball" Strategy: How to set up your questions so the client has to give you the answer you want. ☑️ Informative vs. Persuasive: Why giving too much information kills the sale (and how to fix it). ☑️ The "Gut Gauge": How to ask the tough questions that get to the heart of the objection. ☑️ Systematizing Success: Applying the E-Myth philosophy to scale from a salesperson to a business owner. ☑️ The "Position Contract": How to hire and empower a team that actually works. Timestamps: [00:00:50] Intro: Howard Brinton introduces Dianna Kokoszka (104 homes in year one). [00:02:57] The McDonald’s Theory: Why realtors fail and franchises succeed. [00:14:50] The "Cue Ball" Logic: Never ask a question unless you know where the answer leads. [00:16:37] The FSBO Script: The difference between a "Problem" presentation and a "Solution" presentation. [00:21:21] Defending the Commission: The "Overtime" Analogy (Work 2 days, get paid for 1). [00:25:42] The Logic Trap: The "Pawn Shop" vs. "Auction" metaphor for pricing. [00:40:22] Stop Informing, Start Persuading: Why "features and benefits" kill the sale. [00:50:52] The Takeaway Close: "I'd rather turn you down now than let you down later." [01:13:28] The Guest Pass: How to protect your commission when buyers visit open houses without you.

Are you guilty of "Sales Malpractice"? In the medical world, if a doctor handed you a prescription without asking where it hurt, they would lose their license. Yet, in real estate, agents do this every single day. We "prescribe" listings, marketing plans, and open houses before we have ever truly "diagnosed" the client's problem. In this raw, Live Coaching episode of Becoming More, Dianna Kokoszka takes you behind the scenes of a tactical intervention. You will hear why the "Data Dump" presentation style is killing your conversion rates, especially in the tightening market of late 2025, and exactly how to fix it. Takeaways: ☑️ The Diagnosis Framework: How to stop assuming value and start uncovering it. ☑️ Live Roleplay Intervention: Listen as Dianna corrects a sales conversation in real-time, rewriting the script from "pushy" to "professional." ☑️ Mindset vs. Attitude: Why your "Internal Storyteller" is afraid to ask deep questions, and how to reprogram your subconscious to view "Diagnosis" as a duty, not an intrusion. ☑️ The Year-End Push: How to use the Diagnostic method to motivate hesitant buyers before the year ends. "Prescription without diagnosis is malpractice." This isn't just a quote, it's the standard for the top 1% of the industry. Stop guessing. Stop pitching. Start diagnosing.

What if you could offer buyers 4.99% interest rates in today's 7%+ market? Ryan Leahy, founder of More Seller Financing, has cracked the code with his revolutionary bridge loan program helping agents across 44 states close impossible deals. Ryan discovered that 87% of Americans who refinanced between 2019-2022 have rates below 3.5-4% - and many will offer those rates to buyers through seller financing to get their homes sold faster. This legal, systematic approach gives agents a powerful differentiator tool, helps buyers recapture 30% of their affordability, and creates win-win scenarios where sellers get asking price plus income, buyers get below-market rates, and agents avoid price drops as their only option.
