Want to make dealing with objections easier? Then remember to always use the powerful technique of isolating the objection instead of answering it…. I can’t tell you how many recordings I listen to each week where sales reps are still struggling to deal with objections because they insist on trying to overcome them.

What’s the number one blow off prospects use these days? Not only is it hard to get prospects back on the phone, when you do, you usually lead off with the ineffective opening line of: “Did you have a chance to review that email I sent you?” And then when a prospect blows you off with, “Can you email that to me?”

At first glance, this seems hard to handle because it’s not really an objection, rather, it seems more like a stall.

If you want more “treats” than “tricks” when dealing with prospects, then be bold and call back sooner than you are now. I don’t know why sales reps always default to: “I’ll call you again in a month…” Or 60 days or 90 days, etc, but why would you want to miss all the sales this prospect will place in the meantime?

If this objection frustrates you, then all that will end after you read this blog post. First, remember: Most objections are smokescreens hiding the real reason a prospect isn’t moving forward. Real objections can include things like: They can get it cheaper somewhere else. Their boss/spouse/purchasing won’t let them buy.

Establishing rapport with a prospect in the very beginning is perhaps the most important first step to earning the right to have a conversation that might eventually lead to a sale. If your prospect asks you how you are (after you ask them), DON’T just say, “fine” or “good” and then launch into your pitch. Try it and see for yourself!
