social customer service for a real estate brand
TRANSCRIPT
The brief
Social Customer Care
It’s imperative to have a consistent
“tone of voice” across all customer care
touch-points
Conversation pattern # 1 – When the Brand Calls Customers
Users look at Google Ads and Facebook Ads, give the leads (contact information) if interested and get a call back from brand’s customer care.
Conversation pattern # 2 – Customers calls the Brand
Users look at social content, Google Ads and Facebook Ads, visit the landing page and decide to give a call to customer care themselves.
Two crucial points to start with
Customer care should know what the brand Stands for –
They should have a thorough knowledge of the property, location, amenities but should sell
the core first – The USP of the brand.
Customer care should know their prospect –
The target is not a first-time or budget-oriented home buyers. They are talking to prospect
who is already living a luxurious life but is missing the soulful living experience. (in case the
brand is into luxury real estate)
Suggestions - When the prospect calls
• Have a TOLL FREE – 1800 000 000 number.
• Automated voice greeting the customer before the line is transferred
• Sample VO – “Welcome to XYZ Builders . Please hold while we transfer the line to our
“Relationship Manager”. Followed by soothing music.
• SMS follow up followed by a well-structured email with a link to the respective property
Sample call script
Start the call –
“Hi Good evening, I’m Amit Kumar and I’m the Relationship Manager from XYZ Builders.
How are you this evening? (wait for their response)
GREAT! I hope I caught you at a good time. This will be a brief about the soulful and
luxury living experience that XYZ Builders offers.”
We came to know that you are interested in our property. That’s a great property to
choose. Are you looking at Villas specifically because we also have luxury apartment.
Close the call -
Thank you for your time. You will get an SMS with my contact details should you need any
further information, anytime. In the meantime, I will send the property details to your
mail id. Looking forward to taking you through our model villa very soon.
Thank you and have good day!
The script will also cover –
• Location – emerging real estate destination in Goa
• Landscape/greenery – nature at your doorstep
• Architecture – Name of the architect

Points to consider - How to improve it -
Call - Convince the prospect on Soulful Luxury
Customer care should use the
keywords related to the brand like,
luxury homes, luxury lifestyle,
beach life, location, architecture,
etc. while addressing the prospect.
Sell the lifestyle first
During the conversation

(Subject – “You just spoke to Amit from
XYZ builders…”)

Follow up online
Avoid sending too many supporting documents
PDF of the brochure with info on price,
site plan, floor plan
It would be easy for the prospect to have two PDFs. One with all the important information like price, site plan, floor plan, location, neighbourhood etc. And another PDF with images and link to property videos.
