First 5 of the Top 25 Toughest Sales Objections

You can do one of these 2 things when your prospect says no. You can give up or give it your all.  That means learning how to respond so that in the end, you get the sale. The first 5 of the top 25 sales objections and their responses are:

1. I don't need  what you are selling

Respond:  Would you explain to me why not?

Whatever reasons the prospect gives, respond with Feel Felt Found. I understand how you feel. That was exactly how I felt too when I was offered this job as a sales executive in this company 3 years ago. Who needs new skin care products? As I started doing this job, I tried the products slowly. First on myself and then on my family members. After 2 months, I found that I and my family members get very good results from using the products. Now I find myself impossible NOT to use the product!

2. We Don't Need Some of the Product's Features

Respond: Would you tell me which of the features you're concerned about?

Whatever the reasons your prospect gives you, respond with Feel Felt Found as above

3. Your Product Doesn't Fit In With Our Company's Culture

Respond: May I know in what ways we can fit with your company's culture?

4. I Need to Think About It

Respond: Meet the objection head-on. Call out the objection. Be specific. If you think that the objection is genuine, set a time for a follow-up sales call. Never rush people into it.

5. We're Very Happy with our Current Vendor

Respond: Congratulations! If you would offer us a chance to  offer you improvements over your current vendor, would you be even more happier?

The key is objections are not a NO but a need to KNOW more.

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...
