The most common objections to selling are usually the price. Whether the prospect’s hesitation is real or a smokescreen, the customer is trying to protect themselves by using a price objection. If the price is an issue, the prospect is either not willing to spend the money, or isn’t seeing the value in the product or service. Regardless of the reason, it is important to avoid ignoring the concern and instead, use it to your advantage and close the sale.

Regardless of the reason, every sales objection is an opportunity to learn about your prospect. By identifying the pain points in your prospect, you will be better prepared to overcome objections and close the sale. Here are some strategies for overcoming common objections:

1. Address The Pricing Issue

When your prospects raise a price objection, they may not have discussed pricing with you before you presented your offer. You can address this by asking them about their thoughts on pricing before you offer any responses. The beauty of using a sales proposal tool for cases such as this is that it offers lots of options to your clients, answering most questions on pricing, allowing them to change the quantity to order and live chatting with your sales team, among many others.

When your prospects raise a price objection, they may not have discussed pricing with you before. It’s important to address this issue and show them how their demands will be met in order for the sale go smoothly. The prospect needs assurance that there won’t any surprises down the line.

 

It’s important that you have discussed pricing with your prospect ahead of time so when someone objects, as customers often do without warning or discussion on price increases, then there are three steps in response:

• recognise what has happened
• stay calm and firm but polite
• state why these movements will not affect future orders while still maintaining good business relationships

2. Show Your Prospects The Benefits of Buying From You

If you’re facing a sale and your prospect objects to the price of the product, identify the pain points of your prospect. Identifying their pain points will help you craft a compelling proposal, and if you can’t overcome their objections, you can at least make them feel more comfortable with you.

3. Bring In More Decision Makers Into The Discussion

Sales objections often occur because the prospect doesn’t have the time to make a decision. While a delay in the decision may seem like a rejection, it is a chance to bring other decision makers into the discussion. If they are concerned about the cost, then you can either schedule a joint meeting with the decision maker or make the sale through another channel.

4. See The Objection As An Opportunity

During a sale, an objection can be a valuable opportunity to present your product’s benefits. Using an objection as an opportunity to sell is a great opportunity. It’s important to use the opportunity to prove your value and your unique selling proposition. A prospect’s concerns can help you build rapport with the decision maker.

In addition to a buyer’s concern, the objection itself is an obstacle. The best way to overcome a sales objection is to frame it as a problem, and then explain why your solution solves that problem. During a sale, your prospect’s concern will be your advantage. So, it’s critical that you address these concerns head-on.
