The first mistake of the first meeting
The main mistake is to tell everything at once:
- hectare
- unit
- species
- yield
- OC
- tour operators
- commission
- medical wellness
- altai
- treaties and future plans
The buyer does not have time to understand the structure and begins to perceive the project as complex and risky.
The right first meeting should be manageable. The manager doesn't give a lecture. He leads the buyer through stages.
Step 1: Determine the Purpose of Purchase
First, you need to understand why a person is considering a unit, and the goals can be different: to generate income, to combine income and personal rest, to save capital, to invest in resort development, to buy an object at an early stage, to participate in the Altai brand, to create a family asset.
Manager's questions:
“Do you see the unit more as an investment or as a personal holiday home with an opportunity for income?”
“Do you care about current income, capitalization, or a combination of two factors?”
“Do you plan to use the unit yourself?”
“What ownership horizon are you interested in?”
The answers determine further argumentation.
Stage 2: Explain the difference between a unit and an apartment
After identifying the goal, the basic logic should be briefly explained.
Wording:
"A unit in a project like this is not a regular apartment. It has to work as part of a resort room stock, and its income is not just dependent on the facility, but on the management company, the load, the rates, the service, the programs and the reporting."
This should be said at the beginning so that the buyer immediately understands the right conversation frame.
Step 3: Show location and concept
Then you can move to the object:
- altai
- natural environment
- resort
- hotel
- glamping
- medical wellness anchor
- route
- service infrastructure
But it's important not to just go into emotion, but to connect the location to commercial logic.
Not just, "It's beautiful here."
“You can create a long stay here: recovery, routes, wellness, family runs, corporate programs and medical tourism.”
The buyer must see that nature becomes a product.
Step 4: Explain the management company
After the concept, you need to explain who will control the unit.
Wording:
"The big question after construction is who will populate the facility and keep it running, and that's what the management company does, and it's responsible for sales, tariffs, tour operators, service, cleaning, repair, reporting and standards."
It should be emphasized here: the Criminal Code is not just an economic service, but a center of profitability.
Step 5: Show the boot system
The customer almost always thinks about downtime, so you need to show the channel system in advance.
Wording:
“Direct sales, tour operators, agencies, e-platforms, corporate clients, medical wellness programs, foreign partners and a repeat guest base are not built on one site.”
It's better to show you a diagram. You have a unit in the center, around the sales channels.
Step 6: Explain the financial model
At the first meeting, you don't have to overload the customer with complicated tables. You have to explain the principle.
Wording:
The income of the owner is not considered on the entire amount paid by the tourist, but on the net result after the agreed expenses: commissions of the sales channel, commissions of the management company, operation, cleaning, repair reserve and other costs under the contract.
After that, you can offer to send a financial model with several scenarios.
Step 7: Explain the management contract
You don't have to read the contract in detail at the first meeting, but you have to show that there is a contractual model.
Wording:
“All the rules are fixed in the management contract: who rents the unit, how he participates in the number fund, what commissions are withheld, how the reporting works, how personal use, repair reserve and property protection are regulated.”
This way the customer understands that the management will not be verbal and chaotic.
Step 8: End the meeting with the next step
The first meeting should not end with the phrase "think about it." You should propose a specific action.
Options:
- send out a financial model
- proprietor's report
- management
- Choose 2-3 variants of units
- set up a meeting with a CC representative
- Calculate with personal use in mind
- discuss budget and format
Wording:
"So that you can see the model in a very specific way, I'll send you the financial model, the example report, and the structure of the management contract, and then we can look at the specific units that fit your budget and your goal."
Practical conclusion
The first meeting should lead the customer from interest in the object to trust in the system. The manager should not sell only the view and the area, he should show that the unit is included in the management model: download, CC, tariffs, contract, reporting, medical wellness and a single brand.
