Making the technical Sale by Rick Greenwald and James Milbery - Handling objections

Handling objections:

Three types of objections from most difficult to address to easy to address: philosophical objections; feature objections; and benefit objections

Three approaches for handling objections: rebutting and education. Rebutting an objection closes off communication with the prospect. Working down the grid to benefit objections so that an education approach is amenable. 1) address the objection immediately; 2) repositioning; You can do repositioning an objection to an education approach can handle. 3) park the objection and address later or follow up to establish rapport and credibility. Agree with customer in some sense, remain your curiosity and poke around to gain information. Do not be too defensive. Remember, by offering objections, your prospect is giving you valuable insights into his or her evaluation criteria. Use these objections to understand your prospects' real needs and wants.
Some objections are major while some are minor. Do not let the minor objections interfere your presentation flow.

When an objection comes up, firstly, try quickly to understand what type of objection you are dealing with so that you can ascertain the best technique to handle it; secondly, determine how to address it. It can help if you make a habit of repeating an object when you hear it.

cute, silly, coffee

1. 电视里的一个男角色努力伸手去救一个女角色去躲瘴气,女角色终于无力闭上眼睛晕过去, 布莱森看到女角色闭眼的时候, 很叹息地说: "oh......that's so cute!"
2. 布莱森和妈咪做BART去berkeley参加berkeley free clinic dental lottery. 在回到BART站的时候, 布莱森内急难忍, 妈妈在停车场打开车门站在后边做掩护. 妈咪催布莱森快免得给人看到了. 布莱森说: 妈咪, 不用, 他们会以为这是咖啡!
3. 布莱森和他的好朋友angelina在家里玩, 妈咪在留意他们讲话, 女孩子就是发育得早一些, 说: you can be the daddy and I can be the mommy. ... but no... I can not marry you because....才五岁的小孩子就已经有这些意识了. 布莱森估计听不大懂没有接话. 继续玩其他的, 过来一阵子, 他说: oh... am I silly? Angelina: yes... 布莱森然后就自嘲的说: oh... silly brycen...而且还很高兴的样子!
