The basics in sales objections
- An objection is defined as an expression or feeling of disapproval, an opposition or reason of disagreeing.
- From the buyer’s perspective, objections are when the buyer has disapproval or maybe they don’t agree with something.
- Common disapproval in sales training is when the potential clients say that they don’t believe that the training can help their team.
- There’s truth in that objection but sometimes, the reason may just be because you have interjected yourself into the buyer’s situation or they may be uncomfortable with the situation moving forward.
- One of the things that most people don’t like about salespeople is that they can come off as being pushy sometimes.
- When we’re being pushy, the buyers or prospects won’t be in a state where they’d be ready to listen and be interested in the products or services offered.
- Even if that product can solve their problem, at that moment, it’s not something they value.
- Salespeople need to understand that objection and why they’re getting it in the first place.
- You can’t take the objection at face value because the buyers don’t necessarily understand the value of what’s being shared with them.
- Salespeople should back down in the first objection. Instead, learn to take a step back.
- Give them a menu or options. Reach out to them and try to determine the reason for their objection.
- An objection doesn’t mean that they won’t do business with you.
- Don’t make it a lost deal right away. Find more ways to build value and show them that value. Approach all the other decision-makers in that organization too.
- The goal is to go past the objection and let them see the value of your product or service.
- Stand out from the competition by being creative and by being persistent.
- A No now doesn’t mean that it’s a No forever.
