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...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages ...
