Let's get straight to the point: your performance in this test was underwhelming, and it shows in that average score of 4.2. You certainly have a few solid moments, especially when you communicated availability and support, but far too often your responses lacked depth, empathy, and the strategic finesse necessary to build rapport and effectively address objections. You have a tendency to fall back on generic responses that fail to showcase the unique value you can offer.
Your strongest demonstrated techniques seem to revolve around providing basic responses to cost and support inquiries, showing that you can handle some objections, but you need to dig deeper and personalize your approach. You repeatedly missed opportunities to actively listen and explore the prospect's specific pain points, relying instead on surface-level responses. There's a clear pattern of dismissiveness and a lack of curiosity that hinders your ability to connect with prospects meaningfully.
To move forward, I suggest you study and practice the Consultative Selling and Solution-Focused Selling techniques. These approaches will help you engage prospects more effectively, uncover their needs, and tailor your responses accordingly.
Remember, sales isn’t just about closing a deal; it's about opening a dialogue. Engage more, listen actively, and show genuine curiosity in your prospects' concerns. Embrace empathy as your superpower. When you start seeing your prospects as partners in a conversation rather than obstacles to overcome, that’s when your sales game will truly transform.
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"I'm not sure if your weight loss program will actually deliver the results I need within my tight timeline."
Answer:
I can assure you it will. A better question is, “what will happen if you do nothing”?
Feedback:
While you attempted to redirect the conversation by asking a thought-provoking question, the response lacks a thorough exploration of the prospect's concerns and does not provide specific evidence to reassure them about the program's effectiveness. You could enhance your response by acknowledging their timeline pressure, providing testimonials or success stories, and outlining how your program can fit within their time constraints. This would demonstrate active listening and a solution-focused approach. Overall, you missed an opportunity to build rapport and address the objection directly.

/ 10Question:
"How do I know your solution is better than what my current vendor offers?"
Answer:
If their product was the solution, you probably would not be talking to me right now.
Feedback:
This response lacks professionalism and does not effectively address the prospect's concern. It dismisses the competitor's value without providing any substantial proof of your solution's superiority. A more effective response would involve asking questions to uncover specific pain points the prospect is experiencing with their current vendor and highlighting how your solution addresses those issues. This would show active listening, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset. Overall, this response fails to build rapport or demonstrate value convincingly.

/ 10Question:
"The upfront cost seems high; can you break down the ROI for me?"
Answer:
Sure. You will be paying equal payments (with no interest) for 6 months, in exchange for a lifetime of better health.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the concern about cost by providing a payment structure, which is a good start. However, it lacks a detailed breakdown of the ROI that the prospect requested. It could have included specific examples of potential health benefits, long-term savings on healthcare, or increased quality of life to strengthen the case. Additionally, while the tone is positive, it would benefit from a more empathetic approach to acknowledge the prospect's financial concerns. A better closing technique could have been to invite further questions or concerns about the investment. Overall, there's a lack of depth in value exploration and curiosity about the prospect's specific situation.
In summary, solid start but needs more detail and empathy.

/ 10Question:
"I’m concerned about how my team will adopt this new weight loss initiative—what support do you provide?"
Answer:
We are here 6 days a week to support you and your team. I even reply to text messages after hours and Sundays.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the concern by highlighting availability and support, which is crucial for adoption of a new initiative. However, it could be more compelling by elaborating on specific support strategies or resources that the team will receive, such as training sessions, progress tracking tools, or personalized coaching. A closing technique could also be employed to encourage the prospect to take the next step, such as scheduling a follow-up meeting to discuss support details. Overall, the communication is clear, but there's room for improvement in demonstrating value and engaging curiosity about the support process.

/ 10Question:
"This project isn't a top priority right now; we have other urgent matters to address."
Answer:
What could possibly be more important than your health?
Feedback:
The response lacks the depth and thoughtfulness needed to effectively address the objection. Asking "What could possibly be more important than your health?" comes off as dismissive and does not acknowledge the prospect's current priorities. This approach does not demonstrate active listening or a collaborative mindset. Instead, a more effective response would involve empathy, exploring the reasons behind their current priorities, and perhaps discussing how your solution could alleviate some of those urgent matters. Overall, the response fails to engage the prospect meaningfully and does not explore potential value or solutions, which is crucial in a weight loss context where emotional and psychological factors play a significant role.
Score: 2

/ 10Question:
"What happens if we don't see results quickly; is there a guarantee?"
Answer:
That never happens, however if it did, we would extend your program or offer you alternate solutions to fulfill what we promised you.
Feedback:
The response addresses the concern about results and guarantees, which is a good start. However, it lacks a more empathetic tone and could benefit from a clearer exploration of the prospect's emotional state regarding their weight loss journey. Acknowledging their concerns and providing a more reassuring message would improve the response. Additionally, you could ask follow-up questions to further engage the prospect and discover their specific goals and fears related to weight loss. This would demonstrate active listening and a collaborative approach. There’s also a missed opportunity to highlight any success stories or testimonials that could reinforce the program's effectiveness, adding a layer of value exploration. Overall, while there’s a solid foundation, the response could be more effective with a focus on empathy, active listening, and value demonstration.

/ 10Question:
"I need more time to evaluate whether this aligns with our company’s long-term health strategy."
Answer:
Taking more time simply excaserbstes why you came to see me today. Procrastination is the enemy of success.
Feedback:
The response lacks empathy and does not effectively address the prospect's need for time to evaluate their decision. While the statement about procrastination highlights the urgency, it does not acknowledge the prospect's perspective or concerns. Instead of pushing back, a more effective approach would be to ask what specific aspects they need to consider or if there are any questions they have that could help them make an informed decision. This would demonstrate active listening and a collaborative approach. Overall, the response misses the opportunity for curiosity and discovery, and it fails to build rapport.
Score: 3

/ 10Question:
"How do you ensure that your solutions will be sustainable in the long run?"
Answer:
The program is well established to make sure you see results immediately that are sustainable for the long term.
Feedback:
The response lacks depth and specificity. It mentions that the program is 'well established' but doesn't provide any details on how it ensures sustainability. It fails to address the prospect's concern about long-term results meaningfully and doesn't incorporate any consultative or solution-focused techniques. It would have been more effective to ask questions about the prospect's specific concerns or past experiences with weight loss programs, which would show active listening and curiosity. Overall, this response is too vague and doesn't effectively convey value or build rapport.

/ 10Question:
"I'm hesitant to change from our current weight loss provider since we've been with them for years; what makes you different?"
Answer:
We refuse to fail our clients. We will be by your side until your goals are met.
Feedback:
The response does convey a strong commitment to client success, which is great. However, it lacks specificity about what differentiates your service from the current provider, such as unique methodologies, results, or personalized support. Additionally, it misses an opportunity to ask further questions to uncover the prospect's specific needs and concerns. There’s no clear closing technique or invitation for further discussion. Overall, while there is a positive tone, the effectiveness in addressing the concern is limited, and it feels somewhat generic. Consider elaborating on your unique value proposition and engaging the prospect more collaboratively.

/ 10Question:
"Can you assure me that your program will comply with our industry regulations and standards?"
Answer:
We are fully verified, certified, and in complete compliance. I can provide that documentation if you wish to see it
Feedback:
The response does address the objection by affirming compliance and offering to provide documentation, which is good. However, it lacks a more engaging tone and does not dive deeper into the prospect's concerns or ask any follow-up questions to uncover their specific worries. A more conversational approach could enhance rapport and demonstrate understanding. Adding a question like, 'What specific regulations are you most concerned about?' could have shown curiosity and active listening. Overall, the answer is clear but could benefit from a more solution-focused and collaborative approach.
