Secrets to Overcoming Objections


Do you find it difficult to deal with objections?

Are you constantly faced with “I can get this cheaper at one of your competitors?”

Imagine how many more sales you could close if you could eliminate the majority of objections from actually occurring.

What would that be worth to you in terms of additional sales?

See if you can relate to this sales scenario…

A customer enters your store and you or your sales associate invests valuable time educating and telling them about a particular product. They show genuine interest and are giving positive buying signals. But, when you ask for the sale, they balk and say, “I have to check with my wife” or “I’ll think about it.”

So you start offering ideas and suggestions in the hope that they will change their mind. But, it’s too late. They leave the store, and in many cases, don’t return. That means you have just wasted your time and have nothing to show for it.

It doesn’t have to be like this.

After more than a decade of conducting hundreds of retail sales training workshops for thousands of people, I have learned that this is one of the most challenging aspects of selling.

Most retail sales associates do not know how to effectively respond to even the most common sales objections. Objections like,

• “I have to check with my wife or husband.”
• “It’s too expensive.”
• “I saw it cheaper at one of your competitors.”
• “I hadn’t planned on spending that much money.”
• “I need to think it over.”
• “I’ll get it later.”

Objections are an inevitable aspect of selling. But they don’t have to be difficult or frustrating to deal with.

All it takes to overcome them and close the sale are a few simple sales training techniques and strategies. Techniques that virtually anyone can apply.

Here is a little known secret…

The most effective way to manage sales objections is to prevent them from arising in the first place.

Unfortunately, very few sales people have ever been taught how to do this. In most cases, new sales staff are quickly hired and thrown onto the sales floor with little or no sales training. That means they don’t know how to respond to sales objections let alone prevent them from being expressed. And even the most seasoned sales employees and managers often lack the ability to pre-empt sales objections.

However, a few sales training techniques that are easy to use and apply in the real world can cure this problem. Secret #1 is the fastest and most effective way to actually prevent customers from expressing sales objections.

This e-book contains proven sales training techniques that will help you pre-empt many of the most common sales objections you hear in a typical day. This will save you time and help you close more sales, faster and easier than ever!

How Manipulative Are These Tactics?

If you are anything like me you have probably read sales training e-books that presented tactics that were downright nasty and aggressive. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to use sales strategies that are sneaky or manipulative.

I don’t believe you need to resort to using these techniques. In fact, I detest authors and trainers who teach people how to coerce or manipulate people into making a buying decision.

I have learned from personal experience – both as a consumer and sales professional – that you do not have to use aggressive sales tactics to overcome objections.

I can assure you that the sales training techniques that are presented in this e-book are 100% customer-friendly. They are not aggressive, pushy, rude, or arrogant.

But…they work!!

I know that you can achieve better sales results by taking a more customer focused approach.

I probably shouldn’t do this…

but I’m going to give you sneak peek at some of the information I present in this sales e-book.

One of the most common questions I hear in my retail sales training workshops is, “How do I respond to something like, ‘Does it come on black?’” Many sales people get frustrated when they hear something like this because they know they can’t do anything about it.

That means the sales objection is actually a condition of sale. It’s important to recognize the difference between an actual sales objection and a condition of sale.

In this sales e-book I offer several suggestions how you can best respond when faced with this situation.

But My Customers Only Want the Best Price

Price is a factor in every sale. I will never dispute that. However, you can’t just roll over, drop your pants, and give your customer a better price every time just to close the deal. That’s because price is seldom the primary buying motivator. Even if it seems that way.

Most retailers struggle with profit margins. But, in order to close the sale, they often give away more money than they have to by discounting their product. They think this is the best sales solution but it’s not. It may be the easiest way to deal with the situation but it is also the most costly.

I once had a conversation with the owner of a specialty retail store that started something like this…

Retailer:

“I opened my store three years ago and have a competitor that was in business for about ten years before I opened. They had a lot more cash than I did so I knew I couldn’t compete on price. But, I get a lot of customers ask why a particular product is cheaper there than at my store. “

Me:

“How many people say this is an average week?”

Retailer:

“About 30.”

Me:

“How many of these people are actual customers?”

Retailer:

“I’m not sure. I think they all might be if I could price match.”

Me:

“What do you currently tell these people?”

Retailer:

“Well, I make comparisons and try to explain that we…”

The conversation went on for several minutes and by the end of it, she realized that offering a better price was not necessarily the best sales approach.

Here is a hard fact…

You can’t always compete on price!

Unless you are a discount retailer, you will never be able to compete on price.

Regardless of what you sell and to whom, there will always be someone who can sell the same or similar product(s) for less money. But getting the lowest price is not what most people are concerned about.

Most of the companies I work with offer better service, have more knowledgeable staff, can offer a unique solution, or sell a higher quality product. That means they already have a differentiating factor. All they need to do is help the customer see and understand this.

There is a very simple way to accomplish this. Unfortunately, most retailers don’t use it. Instead, they offer a discount, hoping they will close the sale. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don’t.

The One Question Most Customers Never Ask (but want answered)

Virtually every person you interact with has one specific question in mind. Customers seldom verbalize this question but they think about it during most of the sales process.

I frequently present this question to participants in my retail sales training workshops and am constantly surprised how long it takes for people to respond. In many cases, they are stumped and don’t know what they should say.

This sales e-book not only reveals this question, it also offers suggestions on the best way to answer it.

Offer the right solution…

Most sales people frantically grasp at straws when they hear sales objections. They do everything they can to try to overcome it, but in most cases, they fail.

That’s because they don’t know what the best solution is.

You can get better results than this.

What Will You Learn?

Most people I talk to want to know what they will get from a sales training e-book, CD or workshop. Here is what you will learn from this e-book...
