Shiny suit
Talks to much
Tries to sell you
Does not respect your time
  •                 Photo by Gusset




Thinks more about their targets than you
Makes it hard for you to say no

Objections

             We don’t have that budget
             Don’t have the time
             We have a current supplier
             I need to ask my boss...
             Procrastination
             Can get an agency cheaper

Uncovering the real objection...
            Objections

‘I know you probably have a reason to
  say that?’

Make it final -‘Is this the only reason
that you would not work with us?

VALUE V COST
Find out the difference between the price it is and the one they want
to pay.
