9. Feel , Felt , Found
• Tell them “I understand how
you feel”.
• Shows listening and empathy
• Tell them about someone else
who felt the same way initially.
• They are not alone and it can change
• Then tell them how that
person found that when they did
what you wanted/bought the
product, they got what they
wanted.
“I understand you feel that
there are cheaper
competitors around. One of
our biggest
customers felt that way
initially, but when they tried
the service they found that
they saved 55% on their cost
base.”

Hinweis der Redaktion
What is value?
Not having rapport often leads to objections – BECAUSE you are mismatching – Not in relationship – No Trust
When FEAR occurs the basic human system moves into FIGHT or FLIGHT – TRUST can stop this
MIS-MATCHING
What can we match on the phone?
Tone, Pace, Terms (Fantastic – Marvellous)
What can we match in person?
Body Language
Eye Contact
Gestures
Breathing
Proximity – SPACE
Touch – Positive renforcement
Switch on the senses
To handle all objections we must reframe it to prospect
Re-direct the prospective to see something they have seen
