Handling Objections as a Trusted Advisor


Instead of looking at objections as a sign of doom, successful sales professionals consider them opportunities instead – opportunities to learn more about the customer and to further discuss issues that are important to him or her. Smart reps seek to overcome a customer objection only after striving to understand what the core issue is. What’s more, a rep who is truly a “trusted advisor” to the customer will consider whether it’s possible to overcome the objection and satisfy the customer’s needs, or agree that the solution being discussed isn’t a good fit for the customer. In this webinar, learn how to respond to customer objections in a way that strengthens your position as a trusted advisor. You’ll learn:

  • Why questions are your most important tool when you encounter an objection, and how to use them
  • Why it’s important to demonstrate empathy to your prospects in order to find middle ground with them
  • How you can alter your mindset towards objections
