Objections… 
S Y M P T O M S O F A 
B R O K E N P R O C E S S
WHO AM I? 
• Sales Leader and Enterprise Sales Rep 
at CareerBuilder.com for nearly 4 years 
• Number 1 manager in the mid-markets 
division for two years 
• VP of Sales at glassdoor.com 
• Raised over 96 million dollars 
• Took the company from 0-40 
person sales team in 16 months 
• CEO of Skaled and Founder of Startup 
Sales School - Worked with over 17 
mid-staged startups over the last 16 
months 
• Companies have raised over 50 
million dollars in funding and 
generated millions of dollars in 
new revenue
WHY DO PEOPLE BUY? 
They have a need/strong 
desire, want it solved, and 
feel comfortable with next 
steps.
WHAT IS OUR JOB IN SALES? 
Create needs and eliminate 
barriers
WHY DO OBJECTIONS HAPPEN? 
• It’s standard - I can’t just agree with you can I ??? 
• Your pitch is too tailored to overwhelming and not education 
• Not enough time spent addressing implementation 
• Lack of knowledge of the buying process
CAN I REALLY OVERCOME 
OBJECTIONS? 
• Not if you won’t get uncomfortable!!! 
You lose deals because of lack of 
confidence and don’t know it!
WHAT CAUSES THESE 
OBJECTIONS 
• Lack of knowledge of buying process 
• No Need or Not a priority 
• No budget or authority 
• Switching cost is or is perceived to be too high 
• Too Similar to what they are currently doing 
• Cost / Time to act is more than the investment is worth
Let’s Discuss how to handle…. 
• Budget concerns 
• Not ready to move forward 
• No Authority
A L R E A D Y A L L O C A T E D O R N E E D 
T O H O L D O F F U N T I L B U D G E T S E A S O N 
• FACT: They do have budget….they just don’t want 
to give it to you or can’t commit what you asked 
• Best time to do a trial to show out value - “Let’s do 
something small over the next 3-6 months to prove 
out value so when we are looking at a bigger spend 
when budget opens up…we have the use case” If 
you are really interested then this should make 
sense 
• Sign the agreement with a start date of when the 
budget frees up
NEGOTIATING PRICE/BUDGET - 201 
• If the price was different, would you be able 
to pull the trigger or could xyz pull the 
trigger 
• Give to get? If we lower the price to X and 
show the value of Y, then will you agree to a 
press release / logo/ Referral
WE JUST AREN’T READY TO MOVE 
FORWARD… 
• Reiterate the issues and ask if they are no 
longer a priority. 
• We need to re-create the need or make them 
say it is not a priority….
WHAT ABOUT WHAT THEY DON’T 
TELL YOU… WHEN THEY GO SILENT 
• Barrier were too high to implement 
• Switching costs were too high 
• ROI was not present 
• Someone you never met…said no!!
HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE 
• How to fix decision makers non-involvement 
• Address early in the discovery 
• Act as if it is the typical part of the process 
when ending meeting two 
• Make it a requirement to walk through the 
final details 
• How to fix the barriers potential issue 
• Address in the proposal 
• Discuss and understand their process in the 
discovery
HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE 
Salesforce: 
• Sales Qualified Lead – SQL’s 
o Pain expressed 
o Decision Maker 
o Champions & Coaches 
o Pain can be solved with solution 
• SQL to Opportunity 
o Timing 
o Budget is confirmed 
o ROI is agreed upon by customer 
o Proposal/negotiate 
o CLOSE!!!
