Using Advanced Techniques To Handle Objections

By: Carl Davidson

If you are looking for a non-pushy way to carry on and close the sale after the customer says "No", we recommend using and advanced technique called a reverse. This technique should be one of many tools you take to every sales situation. It can be very effective provided the proper foundation as been set. By that, we mean that no objection technique will work if you have accidentally alienated the customer or if you have not done a great presentation with lots of trial closes. We discuss these techniques more fully in other articles. Assuming the correct foundation has been laid, reverses work very well.

A reverse is a way of turning an objection around and asking the customer to solve their own injection. To illustrate, let?s look at a common objection and then see how a reverse can be applied.

Customer: "Your product is just too expensive. You are $400.00 more than I can get the same thing from Company X and we just cannot pay that premium."

Salesperson1: "Fine. You get what you pay for and you will regret buying cheap. Good day."

Salesperson 2: "That's just our list price. I will give you $400.00 off."

Neither if those techniques is effective very often and technique #2, while the most common, lowers the sales price without committing the customer or getting closer to the sale.

Let's look at that objection using a cushion and a reverse.

Customer: "Your product is just too expensive. You are $400.00 more than I can get the same thing from Company X and we just cannot pay that premium."

Salesperson: "I understand and I agree that price is important." (This statement is a ?cushion? designed to lower buying resistance by agreeing instead of arguing) "Even though you are correct that our price is $400.00 more than our competitor, our company is chosen by hundreds more businesspeople like you than our competitors as their supplier. Why do you think that is?"

This tactic reverses the need to answer or reply from the salesperson, back to the customer. For the reverse to work, you have to be sure to say nothing after using a reverse?no matter how long it takes to get the customer to speak. It is a simple and gentle way to use leverage to put the answer back in the customer?s court. Tension will mount (but it's a good tension) as the customer gets a reply ready.

Whatever the customer replies, you agree with it and close the sale. Here is the most common reply to the reverse.

Customer "I guess it's the warranty and customer service."

Salesperson "That's right; and I know that you too will find our service and warranty is worth far more than the $400.00 difference. I?ll get the paperwork started."

Remember that whatever answer they give is what you agree with and use to close the sale by writing the order without further discussion. At this point, do not go into a presnatation, show pictures or run through different nmodels. Just picvk up the pen and start writing the sales agreement.

Of course, no technique works in every sales situation. Some buyers will refuse to answer or will say something that does not lead to the sale. However, the technique works well in most cases if the customer wants the product or service and is looking for a way to justify the purchase.

This is a powerful and successful technique that can add 20% to 40% to your sales and income. It is an advanced technique and should be practiced to be effective. With all new techniques you try, we suggest you practice and then use them for 90 days before making a decision as to their effectiveness. It takes that long to be comfortable and successful with any new technique.

Cushions and reverses have worked very well for many of my clients. If you add cushions and reverses to your selling tools, I know you will find they are worth the effort.

Beyond Cost Benefits of CAD Drafting Outsourcing By: Mary Summers - Research studies have explored that outsourcing non-core operations (like CAD drafting, IT Infrastructure Management) to an expert in that field brings about a minimum 33% overall growth for the company. This is apart from the obvious monetary margins gained through outsourcing where services can be availed for as low as ten times the cost of doing it internally. In the case of architectural firms, the best model for growth is to do the design phase through the resident architects and outsource the architectural drafting segment to some drafting support services provider. With the rapid advancement in IT and convergence systems, global barriers have dissolved to create a unified work platform.

It is important for them to understand that without appropriate search engine optimization (aka SEO) they might just as well be standing in the unemployment line. You see, the majority of people locate the websites they will purchase from through search technology like google.com and they usually only click on a website that shows up in the first page of the results, so any website that isn't on the first page of the search results may as well not even exist.

Revitalise Your Work - What To Do When You're Stuck By: Trevor Hill - We all have dreams - outcomes we would really like. But often the obstacles seem too great. So they stay dreams, never making it into reality. We feel stuck, so we try to get on with day-to-day tasks and struggle to ignore the frustration. This is a heavy brake on our performance. In his brilliant book 'The Inner Game of Tennis' Tim Gallwey first showed a new way to look at this: Performance = Potential - Interference Gallwey found that, as a tennis coach, his clients improved their game much more as he told them less what to do. Giving instructions appeared to interfere with their learning.

Emotional Intelligence - Emotional Self-Awareness - The First Step By: Byron Stock - The Emotional Intelligence (EI) model I have worked with for over a decade depicts emotional self-awareness as the foundational competency. Building a solid base of emotional self-awareness is necessary before progressing to develop the competencies of emotional self-management, emotional self-motivation, empathy and nurturing relationships. Many of us are unaware and, therefore, unwittingly accepting of the roller coaster of emotions we experience on a daily basis. Without this knowledge (an awareness of our emotions), the development of other EI competencies becomes difficult. We have become so accustomed to the pressures of today's world that we barely notice when the heat is turned up.
