1. Watch the How-to-Video “Welcoming Objections”.
  2. Realize that when you stop resisting objections and start embracing them, you not only get into better communication with your prospect, you encourage the opportunity to address the subject in greater detail. Your presentation no longer becomes an issue of another salesman simply talking but rather it becomes a dialogue; a true discussion that involves the prospect’s worries, concerns and feelings.
  3. For example, if a prospect tells you that your product or service is too expensive, don’t object by saying “I don’t believe it is” because this would tend to make the person “wrong” in something that is true for him or her. Embrace their comment and acknowledge that you understand that the prospect feels it’s too expensive, but then move forward by making the case how your product or service will save them more money in the long run.
  4. Continue to talk about your product or service’s features and benefits all the while continuing to acknowledge them and encouraging feedback.
  5. Note down how meeting resistance with agreement improves the flow in the sales process and note everything down you did right. If you failed and met resistance with resistance, write down what you observed it resulted in and do everything you can to correct it for future sales conversations with prospects.
