Preempt the objection, "That's not my area." Strategy 3 of 3

Objection_Free_Selling_Icon

PREVENT-PREEMPT-RESPOND

When does it usually occur? After the initial introduction of your products/services.
Probable Cause: Prospect does not believe he/she has the responsibility or authority to move forward.
Objective: Identify the buying influences.

PREEMPTION Strategy 3 of 3: Ask, “Could you help me please?” This “hard to resist question” will help the person become your Coach. Then ask, “Who are the people involved in making decisions regarding ___?” Ask, “Whose budget would be most affected?” Ask, “Can you help me get in to see ___?” If they hesitate, ask, “Or perhaps I could mention that we talked?”

Decision-Makers in Your Sale:

  1. Final Authority: Return on Investment, Return on Assets, Rate of Return.
  2. Specifier: Specifications and performance outcomes
  3. Coach: Credibility - internal (you, product/service, company)
  4. Recommender: Credibility - external (references, testimonials)
  5. Negotiator - value, proof, timing
  6. End User - use what you sell, buy what you sell, store what you sell.

More than one person can be in each role, and you can have one person serve in more than one role. You can tell which role they are in by the questions they ask.
