Sales Presentation

 Handling Customer Objections

One very effective way to deal with objections is to pre-empt them as part of your presentation, you will be aware of the four or five concerns that your average prospect has so you can incorporate them into your presentation. This can be effective at promot ing you and your company in a professional manner. Rather than operate a head in the sand approach, you tackle these reasonable concerns as part of your pitch coming from a position of strength and demonstrated that you do not run from the hard questions.

When dealing with objections it is important to be aware of body language and unconscious communication. I sat in on a presentation reasonably and the salesperson was interrupted mid sentence and asked a hard question with regards to a competitor. While he came across quite well and was able to deal with the issue, the difficult question prompted him to fold his arms and promote a closed stance. This subconscious communication gave away the fact that he was uncomfortable with the question and probably was one of the reasons that he was unable to secure the deal.

I will not be dealing with particular objections as part of this piece but rather giving you a four-step technique for dealing with any objection. Try to remember that objections should be welcomed and they mean that you are in with a good chance of selling.

The first step when dealing with the objection is to acknowledge the concern. Ensure that you make the prospect aware that you understand where they are coming from and their concern is reasonable.

The second step is to qualify the objection, find out exactly what they mean for instance “time to think” means what? What is it that they need to think about? Are there still some issues that you haven’t dealth with? What are they not convinced about?

The third step is to re-sell the corresponding benefit, this time been aware that your approach first time round didn’t work so you will at least have to expand and take different angles to re-enforce the point

The final step in dealing with objections is to seek agreement with the prospect. Ask them if they are happy and understand what you said and that you have been able to relieve their concern. Obviously if the answer is no, you will need to do some more convincing.

You need only to become skilled at handling the most common objections don’t worry about strange or once off objections. Practice and role-play objections as the more times you deal with the particular objection, the better you will become.
