There are countless books on handling objections and the vast majority all suck

Here’s a quick thread on how/when to handle objections at various parts of the sales cycle:

i.e

📞the cold call
🤝the sales call
I come from the school of thought that last minute objections are issues that should’ve been addressed at the beginning

I call it, The Chad Way:
The thought process is simple

If I bring up the objections first then:

1) build immense trust
2) no surprises (more predictable revenue)
3) save a ton of time and energy not having to deal with tire kickers
Here’s an example of Frontloading objections on a *cold call*

Once you guys learn the frameworks here you can customize it to fit your specific context:
Here’s another example of Frontloading the objection when you *start* a sales call:
This example builds on the last tweet and puts it all together

Here’s how frontloading the objections looks like in a conversation format:
Now what about dealing with the actual objection?

You use my CPR framework:

Clarify
Pullback
Reframe

You can use any one of these by themselves or in combinations

Again, giving you guys the frameworks so you can adapt for the situation
Ending this thread on how a 🤡 approaches the sales call

The 🤡 Way is littered with traps and is a treacherous road that can ultimately be avoided

“Overcoming” objections at the end rarely works and no closing book will change that

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:

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)
