Here’s an example of a training tip that you’ll learn, and that I used, to handle a frustrating objection I used to get all the time: “The price is outside of our budget.”
If you get this objection—while closing or qualifying—then the worst thing you can do is try to answer or overcome it.
Why?
Because 80% of the time this objection is just a smokescreen hiding something else. And until you find out what’s really holding your prospect back, you’ll just go around and around in circles.
Sound familiar?
So here’s what you need to do: Isolate the objection before you attempt to overcome it.
Here’s a simple technique that will allow you to do just that:
Whenever your prospect says, “That price is outside of our budget,” simply respond with:
“And besides price, what else is holding you back?”
And then hit your MUTE button and listen very carefully for the real objection—or objections—that are holding your prospect back.
The reason this technique—among others you’ll learn in my on-demand training—took my sales career to a new level is because by using it I avoided talking past the close and chasing what wasn’t even the real objection!
It forced me to listen rather than ad-lib poor sales techniques—perhaps some of the things your team is doing right now…
And it taught me to identify what the real objection was, so I could focus on that. And only when I understood what was really holding my prospect back did I begin to close more sales.
And your team can too. Use this technique the next time you get the price objection and watch as you get more control over the sales process and uncover the real reason(s) your prospect isn’t moving forward yet.
And if you’d like to learn even more proven techniques, including how to:
- Eliminate call reluctance
