31. Phone Call Tips
Overcoming Objections
Time
Take the objection on
face value and reschedule
a more suitable time. If
the clients objects more
than twice on “time” then
it’s a not a time issue, it’s
another objection.
Cost
The clients need to
understand the benefit for
them versus the cost to
implement. Break down
the cost to a daily rate and
clearly demonstrate the
betterment.
Education
The client hasn’t
understood the offering.
Revisit the initial goal and
be very clear on how
this solution achieves
that requirement – it is
important you explain
this simply and using
language that resonates
with the client (and they
understand).
Trust
Why should the client
trust you? Clients won’t
normally say those exact
words but it maybe
what they’re thinking.
Verbalise the fact that the
relationship may not yet
be proven and that the
client may have concerns.
Reiterate that other clients
may have felt that way
previously but went on to
be happy with the advice
provided.
Use testimonials.
