I’ve always felt that the best way to deal with a phone objection is to avoid getting one in the first place.
How does one do that, especially during a pandemic?
Here’s a quick overview of why you’ve been encountering phone objections lately, and forgive me, but the world being in crisis isn’t the only reason.
You DIDN’T Give Them A Compelling 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
And most people, let alone a busy decision maker, are predisposed to blow off a cold call.
And then there’s this;
During Covid-19 EVERYONE is proceeding cautiously, actually it isn’t about “proceeding cautiously”, it’s more about clinging to the status quo with a side helping of “Let’s wait and see how this pandemic turns out!
Awareness is always the first step, so;
Why don’t you start by recording your end of your calls so you can hear what you’re actually saying, how you’re saying it, as well as identifying the key moment when that call took a sh*t.
Bonus Tip: Start doing the same thing with your demos. Hit the record button on your Webex and then review to your “game tape”.
Then go back to the drawing board and adjust what you’re saying, how you’re saying it, the tactics you use, etc.
So there you have it;
A partial list of things that inspire objections and a reminder that;
The best way to deal with an objection is to avoid getting one in the first place!
