Why You’re Being Bombarded With Phone Objections Right Now

Posted April 9, 2020

When it comes to phone objections, we focus way too much on the symptoms and NOT the cause.

The symptoms being the actual objections and the cause, well that’s what I want to talk to you about today.

There are many things that increase the probability of a phone objection, here’s a partial list to help you raise your awareness;

You Have An AMAZING “TOURNIQUET” But You’re Calling Someone Who DOESN’T Have The Same URGENCY As Someone Who Is “Bleeding”!

You DIDN’T Give Them A Good Enough Reason To Hear You Out And/Or Meet With You

You Failed To Capture Their Interest

You Failed To Take Control Of The Call

You Took Too Much Control Of The Call Making Them Feel Subservient 

You Said The Right Things But Your Delivery Sucked

You Came Across As Nervous And They (Subconsciously) Equated That With A Lack Of Confidence

You Hit Them With A “Pitch” Instead Of Creating A Dialogue 

They Just Aren’t Familiar Enough With YOU and Your Company

You’ve Become A Pain In Their Ass With The Amount Of Calls, Emails Etc

They’re Simply Predisposed To Initially Reject People Trying To Sell Them Something

I want to explain this one a bit.

Most people are predisposed to be hesitant with sales reps, hence the “I’m just looking” when we are actually going to the store to buy something. We want to step back and proceed cautiously.

On a similar note, it might not be a trust thing, it might be a time thing, in that it’s just easier to use some knee-jerk objection to get a rep off their phone.

So there you have it;

A partial list of things that inspire objections.

Remember . . .
