Objections are a Waste of Time

Sales trainers like to teach people the concept of overcoming objections. 

To me, objections are a waste of time. When salespeople start overcoming objections, they are placing themselves in conflict with their customers when they should be establishing collaborative relationships instead. 

Often overcoming objections set the stage for polite disagreements and respectful differences of opinion, forcing salespeople to defend their solutions.  At worst, it turns the sales process into a battle in which the salesperson goes into a battle an attack mode to 'win' the sale.  In fact, words like 'persist', 'convince', 'persuade' all imply such aggressive behaviour.   We all know that you could win an argument and lose the sale.  

It doesn't have to be this way.  Salespeople can choose another approach: prevent objections instead of overcoming objections.  How to prevent objections?  
  1. Attract Customers to Buy from You.  When you attract people, people will be doing their own assessment and weigh the pros and cons of your attraction.  If they are attracted enough, they will justify the cons with the pros.  Just look at the queues for Lee Kuan Yew's tribute at the funeral wake and you will know the importance of attraction.
  2. Mention the reasons against you first. When you mention your weaknesses, people will see that you are honest and they will respect you more. With higher respect, they will be more attracted to you and thus objections will become irrelevant.
  3. Choose your customers.  Only sell to people that are in line with your vision and mission.  Like Apple's choose to sell to 'premium customers' only, people who are willing to pay more for the Apple brand and look and feel of its products.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
