Scenario Synopsis
Zack has been asked to get an appointment for the company
he represents, Networkerz Connection Systems. However, he
is told that he will probably have to leave a voice mail as Leanne,
the Managing Editor at The Dunnvail Town News is rarely at her
desk.
Therefore, Zack knows that he must leave an effective voice
mail that will guarantee a return call. And that call must result
in a face-to-face appointment. Once Zack meets with Leanne,
his challenge is to create dissatisfaction, which will elicit a
positive response.
He will learn how to identify her values, as well as her emotional
needs and wants, by understanding the intent behind her words
- her meta message.

31. Objections
• When they present an objection to you –
or a speed bump they speak to you
from one of two perspectives
• They either tell you they are satisfied
• Or they tell you they see no benefit in
your product or service
32. No Benefit
When they tell you they see no benefit they object
by saying a version of the following:
• Your price is way too high
• My budget is spent
• You don’t have what we require
33. Satisfied Objections
The challenge?
When I’m satisfied I of course see no benefit
• So….. If I’m satisfied? ….YES
• Then, there is NO benefit
34. Satisfied Objections
When they tell you they are satisfied they say things
like –
• We’re happy with our present supplier
• This won’t work for our people/us
• I don’t need this
35. Buyer POV
2 very different things from the buyers point of view
• In both cases I may trust you
but….
• In only one case have I acknowledge the need to
change
• Not that I have a need…I may or may not have one
…but the need to change
36. Imagine….1985
If I want to sell change….
What might I need to create
or change for my prospect?
37. Desired Outcomes
Competence leads to confidence
Selling is the transfer of confidence
