TSE 1351: Three Skills to Help You Overcome Objections

Three Skills to Help You Overcome Objections

Being in sales, there needs to be a level of optimism but objections are also part of the process. How do you handle objections? Alison started her career in the human resources field before she jumped into entrepreneurship. She tried building her own business four times but failed each time. It was her fifth try in 2019 that she became a success.

Skills to overcome objections

Alison has 3 C’s to guide her in being successful in sales: Clarity, confidence, and connection.

Clarity starts with customer discovery. It’s in this stage that prospects are able to share their needs and sales reps are able to define how they can be part of the solution. Objections often fall under three categories - budget, time, and necessity. Prospects either don’t have resources to proceed, don’t have the time to engage, or they have no need for the product or service. When you’re clear where their objections fall, you’ll have a better understanding about how to overcome these obstacles. Clarity is also about building rapport.

Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto’s book Hidden Messages in Water talked about how spoken words can impact water molecules. In a video, he shows how the shape of these water molecules can reflect negative and positive speech that’s been spoken over these samples. In the same way, well-spoken words can also make a positive impact.

Confidence is also tied to clarity. Words can make or break a person’s esteem and interest. Use positive words and fuel optimism.

The connection is important in overcoming the objection. Connection is about letting a prospect know that you are listening and want to help them with their problem. Connecting comes from asking deeper questions.

Clarity, confidence, and connection are skills that can start with the sales call.
