Too often, I see salespeople become almost dejected at the hint of an objection from a prospect they’re working with… and it puzzles me. Sure, an objection may very well slow you down, and may jeopardize your ability to make a sale, but do you really want to spend time with a prospect and get no objections? Commitment to Criteria.

However, the middle and bottom of the funnels, such as product comparisons and in-depth conversations, are to be private with prospects and clientele and not to be used on social media.

It’s one of the most-frequently asked questions on our sales courses – ‘how do we overcome objections to our proposals?’. First, though, we have to understand that an objection isn’t always caused by the prospect trying to get you to lower your price or make you change your offer in some other way. Or they may have only one.

The best prospecting strategies require a human touch. This is done by an experienced salesperson who knows how to ask the right questions, who knows how to use new sales techniques and when to have a good old-fashioned conversation. Believe that? Far too many sales reps do. They think that digital rules.

Never Force the Prospect to Make a Logical Decision. Many sales people feel that their product or service makes a world of good, old-fashioned logical sense. Such ideology can prompt sales people to approach the close in a sensible and logical manner, expecting the prospect to be equally as reasonable. Emotion vs. Logic.
