No More Late Unforeseen Objections In 2026!
As we hit the calls again over the coming days know that in 2026 - as a serious sales pro - the thing we hate most as sales pros is absolutely avoidable. What do I mean? Late unforeseen objections brought up by the prospect. Those revelations that come up at minute 45 of your 60 minute close call after you pitch, reveal the price and move towards the close. Those responses like: - "all sounds good Michael, cash flow is a bit tight right now so I couldn't do this for another 3 months... Can I get back to you then?" - "all sounds good Michael, however that's way more than I wanted to spend so I definitely can't afford that" - "all sounds good Michael, however I'd need to speak to my husband first before I could do something like this" - "all sounds good Michael, it's just that, I didn't think you needed me to make a decision on this call. Can I get back to you in a few days?" - "all sounds good Michael, let me go away and think about this and you can reach out to me again next week, is that ok?" And then it becomes "objection overcoming" time... Doing whatever it takes to convince them to buy now... (which usually doesn't work) Playing off the back foot as they resist and you push... Been there? I have too... No longer though and not for 5 years plus. And never again. The solution? Learn to play offense early and on your terms. Ask the right questions the right way (and and at the right time) and then have them to the explaining and justifying to you about their willingness and ability to actually decide on and execute change when they find the right help. Do it right and you'll know in the first 5-10 minutes if a sale can live here today or not... I teach this in detail to my students and it changes their world! Just yesterday I had a student - who I had just taught this - close a call 12 minutes in (which he never does as it's an hour call normally) as on the back of playing said offence the prospect asked him to buy then and they then did.
