The Art of Selling

Overcoming Objections

Overcoming objections in sales

Objections are the customer's concerns that can stop them from making a purchase. They can be about the product, the price, or the salesperson themselves. A skilled salesperson should be able to identify objections early on and address them in a way that reassures the customer and persuades them to make a purchase.

Acknowledge objections

One way to overcome objections is to acknowledge them. This means listening carefully to the customer's concerns and addressing them directly. By addressing objections directly, the salesperson shows that they understand the customer's concerns and are willing to work with them.

Reframe objections

Another way to overcome objections is to reframe them. This means changing the customer's perception of the objection by presenting it in a different way. By reframing objections, the salesperson can turn a negative into a positive and persuade the customer to make a purchase.

Provide social proof

A third way to overcome objections is to provide social proof. This means presenting evidence that other customers have had a positive experience with the product. By providing social proof, the salesperson can reassure the customer that they are making a good choice.

Embrace objections

Finally, it's important to remember that objections are a natural part of the sales process. A skilled salesperson should not view objections as roadblocks, but rather as opportunities to build trust and rapport with the customer. By addressing objections in a thoughtful and empathetic way, the salesperson can create a positive experience for the customer and increase the likelihood of a sale.
