Lets talk about Objections

I’ll be completely upfront:

I’m not a fan of the way the “objection game” is currently being played

In this thread you’ll learn:

✅The Clown vs Chad approach
✅Word for word script on how to execute the Chad approach

Lets go Image
You have to understand that sales is like being in a minefield.

One wrong move & you can blow the deal

The Clown starts selling WAY too early which triggers objections

This happens because there’s not enough contrast for the prospect to compare your solution to Image
The Clown then waits until the end to handle objections which is a sign of being passive and weak.
Now what does a Chad do?

The Chad brings objections up FIRST to find out if it’s truly a dealbreaker in order to save time OR get it out of the way and reduce the likelihood of future objections

This also builds tremendous trust (Chad shows extreme competence + nothing to hide) Image
Now let’s look at a word for word script of how to implement the Chad Strategy

Notice how Chad:

- Frames the choice of objections
- Commoditizes the objections by making them appear common
- Filters for what’s truly top of mind to the prospect
- Controls the sales process Image

Why do your customers buy from you?

Most salespeople struggle to answer this question in a way that is compelling to prospects

So in this thread you’re going to learn how to answer this question so you never get stuck again
The first mistake you need to stop making is talking about “you” to prospects

eventually you will need to tell the prospect more about you and “how it works”

However, your value is meaningless unless it is connected to what the prospect cares about (problems/opportunities)…
First up is the Characteristics.

It’s funny to me how you can ask multiple stakeholders in a company about their ideal customer profile and they’ll all give different answers

You must define this before you do any sort of selling

Here is an example:

Job title - Chief Revenue…

Telling salespeople they need to be "better listeners" doesn't really help them

what are they supposed to be listening for?

these things..

quick 🧵
1) Intention

How strong is their motive for Change? and Why?

Have they already decided they need your category of solution? and Why?

Have they already decided to make a buying a decision and now it's just a matter of finding the right fit?

Behavior = good indicator of intent
2) Jump off points

regardless of the context, there are whats called "jump off points" in every conversation. they are parts of a message that can be taken and used to create a new direction / angle in the conversation

You want the prospect to respond to your emails but the problem is you follow up like every other salesperson

Here’s how to cut through the noise and get their attention

THREAD Image
CONTEXT

Humans are pattern recognition machines. The brain can only handle so much information at once so we create “shortcuts” and categorize stimuli into essentially 2 buckets:

Bucket 1: Pay attention

Bucket 2: Ignore
The way we get someone to pay attention is by interrupting their Patterns

We interrupt patterns by being novel, unusual, and intriguing

Think of a Pattern Interrupt as an unexpected stimulus that moves the prospect into another state of mind

No matter what industry you’re in there are 5 problems preventing you from reaching your sales potential

Thread
1) Not believing in your solution

If you have complete conviction in your solution then you won’t even entertain the thought of getting played by prospects and giving discounts

Having the right beliefs will also transfer the feeling of certainty to the prospect
It’s very hard to fake conviction when you don’t believe in your solution so do yourself a favor and sell a solution you actually believe in

You don’t need to be passionate about it but it’ll make your Life easier.

Pro tip: passion often grows over time

5 bad habits salespeople do on their sales calls and one simple fix for all of them..
1) using sounds to string together their response

This includes:

“uh”
“um”
“ah”
“eh”
“oh”
sometimes these are combined with connecting words. for example:

“so uh”
“but ah”
“like oh”

I made a sales rep cry during a job interview.. and he loved it.

Here’s what happened + some of the questions I asked:
Context

I’ve been helping companies with the interview process for new sales hires

They’ve made costly hiring mistakes in the past and need a way to reduce turnover and hire only the best

I reviewed their materials and immediately saw the problems:
❌: Their questions don’t point to or predict any *future* success.. they are backwards looking not forward looking

❌: Zero questions on critical things like (money beliefs, attitude, behaviors & habits)
