2 Proven Tips to Overcome Buyer Resistance

Source: eGrabber newsletters

Use Reciprocity
: Give your prospects something that is useful, then they will feel an obligation to give back. Ask questions that will educate you about your prospects and their needs. One question could be “What is the biggest challenge in your business that you are currently facing”? The objective is not necessarily to fix the problem, but to provide them support. Refer them to an article or a white paper that can help them in their area of challenge.

Understand Motive: Behavioral studies show that half of all buyer resistance is phony. Hence, the first step in dealing with any buyer resistance is to clarify the 'what' and the 'why' behind the resistance. What is she really looking for? Is she comparing apples-to-apples? Is her focus short-term? Understanding these can help you to be better prepared to deal with the buyer, negotiate a higher margin and sell more profitably.

These two tips can help you bring down your prospects' resistance and make it easy for you to negotiate or build relationships.

Handle "Not Right Now" Objections in Sales

Source: eGrabber Newsletters

One popular objection that sales people hear more often these days is "I would love to buy the product, but not right now." This could mean that your product is not a priority, or the prospect does not have the budget now or it could be as simple as 'I do not want your product'. Spend some time to understand what your prospect's priorities/ pressing problems are and try to link your solution to addressing those problems.

At times your product may not direct relate to your prospect's current concerns, but you might have to think creatively about what you can do to link them. Often repackaging and repositioning your offering is all that will be needed to make a sale.
