In celebration of over 50,000 copies of Gap Selling sold, I wanted to take a moment and highlight other books that influenced my perception or help expand on concepts within Gap Selling.

At first glance, this seems hard to handle because it’s not really an objection, rather, it seems more like a stall. Because of this, it fools many sales reps who think that perhaps after a week or two the prospect might actually buy. But they rarely do. Make no mistake: this is almost always a “no” disguised as a “maybe.”

Everyone experiences objections when selling. You need to hear the questions your prospect wants answered, and you need to answer those questions without talking too much when doing so. When objections are stated, our minds move pretty fast, and unfortunately, often towards a response. It’s a natural step of the selling process.

A price objection is one thing. However, if you reveal your pricing and ask for the order, then after a comprehensive sales interaction, the prospect responds with a state of disbelief; you have a much bigger problem.
