5 sales objections killing your closes (and how to fix them!)
If you’re getting a lot of “I need to think about it” after you pitch the price… it’s easy to assume the lead just isn’t serious, but most of the time, that’s not what’s happening 😬 They are interested. They do want results. They’re just not confident enough yet to say yes. And that’s what objections really are: a lack of clarity + a lack of confidence. The good news is you can prevent almost every objection before it ever shows up if you know what to listen for and what to ask earlier in the conversation. Here are the five most common sales objections, and the simple fix for each 🛠️ 1) “It’s too expensive.” This almost never means “I can’t afford it.” It usually means: “I don’t see why it’s worth it.” Don’t rush to defend your price. Instead, slow down and say, “Before we talk numbers, I want to make sure you can clearly see what this helps you do and why it works.” Then connect your offer to their real life by asking "What does staying stuck cost them? Energy? Confidence? Stress? Health? Another year of starting over?" When the value is clear, the price feels fair. 2) “I need to ask my partner.” This isn’t a problem at the end of the consult. It’s a question you should’ve asked near the beginning. Try this question earlier in your convo, “Do you have support at home if you decide to do this?” and "Do they know you're here?" 3) “I don’t have time.” Translation: “I’m scared I won’t be able to keep up.” Before you present the offer, ask: “What’s a realistic amount of time you can commit to fitness each week?” Whatever they say, believe them. Build the plan around that. When your program fits their schedule, “time” disappears as an objection. 4) “I’m not sure about 6 or 12 months.” This isn’t about time. It’s about uncertainty. If they can’t picture what those months look like, the commitment feels huge. Fix it by giving them a simple roadmap that gets them excited about their dream outcome. When they can see the path, they stop fearing the timeline. 5) “I don’t like working out.”

@Susanna Birge 100% You’re seeing if you and the prospective client are a good fit to work together. If you don’t think you are, then go with your gut. Now if you have a network that you can refer this client to, even better! You’ll gain a win with the prospect - Connecting them to a best fit establishes you as a respectable professional that boosts your reputation - A win with your networking partner. Maybe they will return the favor someday - and you win directly by only taking on clients you KNOW are a good fit and high likelihood of success and retention keeping your business steady and sustainable It’s also a big help that you’re already in high demand due to your schedule.

Love these! I’ve been subscribing to the idea that if an objection comes up, then I missed somewhere earlier in the call/session. If you ask the right questions, get the prospect to reveal their hesitations and concerns during the discovery, and then address/alleviate those concerns before the close - then there’s little to talk about beyond “when do we get started?” Of course, they may have objections come up anyway - especially financial - but, if done well, you two are already on the same side. Now you find yourself working WITH the client for a solution to make working together possible vs trying to remind and convince them that investing is the right choice.

Hey everyone! My name is Mike Kelley. I currently train at a big box gym where I’ve been for just about 10 years now. I’ve also created my own personal business, Next-Door Coaching, where I help busy parents simplify fitness and build habits that last through mobility, strength, recovery, and nutrition. Pending an opportunity I’m currently working on - my 2026 business goal is to sustainably scale Next-Door Coaching to completely replace my need to work in the big box gym. Fun fact about me - I love horror movies, classic rock & metal music, and the God of War videogame franchise. Excited to be here and continue learning from and with you all!
