Some ways we differ from other options out there are:
• We are the only sales tool that helps with what to say
• We are a true consultative selling approach
• We provide the only AI-driven sales role-play software
A little more about us:
• Been doing this for 12 years
• Only company providing solutions in this area
Do you know how your other options compare in those areas?
You are more expensive.
I am leaning toward the other provider.

40. Building an Objections Map
• Tool to build to use as a guide for dealing with objections
• List out anticipated objections
• Formulate best responses
• Can include redirects and overcome responses
• Can be organized to have cold call responses and meeting
responses
41. • When a call ends, reflect on what objections the prospect had
• Identify how you responded and if your responses were effective at keeping the call going
• Was there a response that could have been better?
• What questions could have been asked to keep the call going and gather more information?
• Update objections map
– Add new objections
– Improve existing responses
Reflect Back to Improve Forward
Before we go any further, let’s clearly discuss what objections are.
Objections are a prospect’s best weapon when they answer your cold call. They are statements or questions that the prospect will throw at you and they are like mini stops signs that the prospect will hold up. They use to try to take a control of the call and take it in a direction of their choosing. And if they begin to feel like you are selling something when they are not looking to buy, they will want try to end the call and will use objections to get there as soon as possible.
Now let’s take a look at common objections and ones that you are just about guaranteed to run up against.
I am busy right now. Who are you with?
What is this in regards to?
I am not interested.
Just send me some information.
We already use somebody.
We are not looking to make a change right now.
We do not have any budge to spend.
Those are eight objections that consistently come up. You could maybe tweak those for your situation, and add a couple that are specific to your products, you would have a complete list of objections to be prepared for. As part of this training, we will explain these one at a time and show you how to get around them.
