Category: Objection Handling

Hi Again,

I hope that you’ve all had a joyful and productive week.

It’s been some time since I’ve had a chance to put some of my sales leadership ideas to paper, so I apologize to my readers who look forward to these insights.

As an accomplished sales leader and coach, I am always looking for ways to leverage my limited time and the resources available, so I thought I’d share one of the most effective sales leadership techniques available to help you do the same.

Peer-to-Peer Sales Coaching

“We don’t need your service.”

This objection means one of two things. Either:

“I have no problems related to your services right now,” or
“I am too busy with something else to talk to you,” or
BOTH, which is probably the case.

While customer profiling and targeting are keys to developing new accounts, sales prospecting is still a numbers and timing game. The fact is, you won’t get anywhere with anyone who has no need, whether actual or perceived. There are many ways to overcome this sales objection, and I recommend a good balance of grace and perseverance.
