Let’s be real here – your performance is falling flat, and it shows. With an average score of 2.9, you're not just missing the mark; you’re barely even on the target. Your responses are overly simplistic and lack the depth needed to effectively address your prospects' concerns. You need to stop skirting around the issues and start engaging with your clients in a meaningful way. The strongest technique you seem to demonstrate is a basic understanding of customer needs, but you fail to take that further into actionable solutions. A consistent pattern emerges where you provide vague reassurances without backing them up with specifics or inviting further dialogue. You must step up your game in solution-oriented selling; it's not just about saying 'we can help' – you need to show how. I suggest you dive deep into SPIN Selling and Solution Selling techniques. Understanding how to ask the right questions and tailor your solutions to meet specific needs will be crucial for your growth. Remember, each prospect is not just another number; they have unique concerns that require your attention. This is your coaching moment: every interaction is an opportunity to build trust and provide clarity. Don’t just respond – connect, engage, and deliver real value. You have the potential, but it’s time to put in the work and elevate your approach.

Answer:
Maintain the strong relationship with good rapport, feedback and customer service

Additionally, the response does not engage the prospect with questions to better understand their needs or concerns, nor does it demonstrate an understanding of the potential risks involved in switching vendors.
