Communication Skills That Close Deals: 6 Question Types Every Top Agent Uses


Listen Later

Your communication skills are either making you money or costing you deals. There's no in-between.


In this episode, we sit down with powerhouse Ari Jakobov, who's closed $100 million in sales in just four years by mastering the one skill most agents ignore: strategic communication. Ari breaks down the exact frameworks, tonality shifts, and questioning strategies that have helped him build a team of 23 agents, grow a 50-agent eXp organization, and secure multi-million-dollar listings—even in the most competitive markets.


This isn't theory. It's tactical, immediately actionable, and designed for the chaos of real-world real estate conversations.


In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The five-minute energy shift that helps you show up confident and dialed in before every high-stakes conversation

  • The six types of questions every top producer uses to guide prospects to reveal their problems out loud (so you never have to "pitch" again)

  • Why result-based thinking closes more deals than process-based thinking—and how to flip the script immediately

  • The power of identity framing (and how Ari used it to turn a hostile expired seller into two listings worth $10+ million)

  • Pattern interrupts that break through the mental gatekeeper and keep cold calls from ending in two seconds

  • How tonality creates authority, builds rapport, and disarms objections without sounding salesy

  • The follow-up framework that trains prospects to actually want to hear from you

  • Why top producers practice communication skills for 45 minutes every single day (and why you should too)


    If you've ever lost a deal because of how you said something—or didn't say it at all—this episode will change how you approach every conversation from here on out.
