Mission 19
Scenario Synopsis
     Zack has been asked to get an appointment for the company
     he represents, Networkerz Connection Systems. However, he
     is told that he will probably have to leave a voice mail as Leanne,
     the Managing Editor at The Dunnvail Town News is rarely at her
     desk.

     Therefore, Zack knows that he must leave an effective voice
     mail that will guarantee a return call. And that call must result
     in a face-to-face appointment. Once Zack meets with Leanne,
     his challenge is to create dissatisfaction, which will elicit a
     positive response.

     He will learn how to identify her values, as well as her emotional
     needs and wants, by understanding the intent behind her words
     - her meta message.

                       RESOLUTION
Objections
   • When they present an objection to you –
     or a speed bump they speak to you
     from one of two perspectives

   • They either tell you they are satisfied

   • Or they tell you they see no benefit in
     your product or service
No Benefit

    When they tell you they see no benefit they object
     by saying a version of the following:

    • Your price is way too high
    • My budget is spent
    • You don’t have what we require
Satisfied Objections

         The challenge?
          When I’m satisfied I of course see no benefit

         • So….. If I’m satisfied? ….YES

         • Then, there is NO benefit
Satisfied Objections

     When they tell you they are satisfied they say things
      like –

     • We’re happy with our present supplier
     • This won’t work for our people/us
     • I don’t need this
Buyer POV
  2 very different things from the buyers point of view

  • In both cases I may trust you

  but….

  • In only one case have I acknowledge the need to
    change

  • Not that I have a need…I may or may not have one
    …but the need to change
Imagine….1985

 If I want to sell change….


 What might I need to create
 or change for my prospect?
