Instantly overcome Customer Objections & Prospect Negativity with this Simple Phrase!
Want to know a simple phrase for overcoming customer objections and prospect negativity? No one likes getting objections and negative feedback. Objections can build barriers between you and the prospect.
Here’s the simple phrase that helps.
“Here is the short story.”
This little phrase disarms our customers and prospects. They feel your message is going to be short and to the point. They feel you are going to remove all sales tricks or high-pressure techniques.
How long should the short story be? It must be short as possible, no more than 10 or 15-seconds. 10 to 15 seconds is all that is needed for overcoming customer objections and prospect negativity.
What should be in the short stories to tell? The summary of our offer.
Summarizing our offer into a 10 to 15-second short story is all our customers and prospects need to hear for making up their minds. At the end of the short story, if the answer is “No,” then we are done. And if they like our offer, they will ask for more information if they need it.
The short stories are merely summaries. We don’t want to pack them with fluff, facts, information, data, and all the boring stuff that people hate. With a short story, the most common sales objections and rebuttals can be overcome.
Examples of short stories for overcoming customer objections and prospect negativity:
“So here is the short story. Instead of working out at the gym to lose weight, you can drink our power shake for breakfast. Now you can manage your weight for the rest of your life.”
“So here is the short story. You lose weight by changing what you have for breakfast.”
