Let's get real here; your performance has been pretty lackluster, averaging a score of 3.6. You've got some good intentions, but your execution is falling flat. You show glimpses of understanding customer needs, yet your responses come off vague rather than solution-focused. It's like you're trying to sail a ship without knowing how to steer it. You need to tap into stronger sales techniques, particularly those that emphasize consultative and solution-focused selling. Dive into understanding the customer's pain points and tailor your responses to address them directly. You also need to work on your objection handling; it seems you're either dodging the questions or giving half-hearted answers. Your aim should not just be to respond, but to engage and reassure. Remember, every objection is a chance to showcase your value, not a hurdle to jump over.
Here’s your coaching moment: think of every interaction as a conversation, not just a transaction. Ask questions that show you're actively listening, then respond in a way that builds trust and demonstrates your expertise. Let's turn those fumbles into finesse. Get back to the basics of active listening and being genuinely curious about your prospect's needs. You can do this, but it’s time to step it up.
Question Breakdown

5
/ 10Question:
"I'm worried that this car won't provide the long-term reliability my business needs despite the initial appeal."
Answer:
The great thing about this new vehicle is the warranty that will keep you on the road
Feedback:
The response touches on the warranty, which is a relevant aspect of long-term reliability, but it falls short in addressing the customer's specific concern about reliability comprehensively. It lacks depth and fails to explore other reliability indicators like customer reviews, maintenance records, or manufacturer reputation, which could provide more reassurance. Additionally, it would benefit from asking follow-up questions to understand the customer's specific needs better and to show active listening. Overall, the tone is positive but needs to be more solution-focused and engaging.

"How do I know your support will be better than my current vendor's?"
Answer:
Na
Feedback:
Looks like you hit the 'na' button instead of addressing the objection! Remember, in sales, we want to show off our value and support, not just give a vague response. A great way to handle this objection is to ask questions that uncover the prospect's current frustrations with their vendor, then highlight how your support exceeds those pain points. Let's turn that 'na' into a 'yes' next time!

/ 10Question:
"In a competitive market like this, how do I justify spending more on your car over cheaper alternatives?"
Answer:
I’m priced the lowest in the market on this vehicle if it is less of a price it is less of a vehicle
Feedback:
The response provided is not effective in addressing the customer's concern about value for money. Instead of justifying the higher price by highlighting unique features, benefits, or the overall value proposition of the car, the salesperson resorts to a vague statement about being the lowest priced. This could confuse or frustrate the prospect rather than reassure them. A more effective approach would involve exploring the customer's needs, emphasizing the car's superior quality, safety features, warranty, or long-term savings on maintenance. The tone is too defensive and lacks a consultative approach. Overall, the response misses the mark on addressing the objection directly and constructively.

/ 10Question:
"If I don’t see immediate cost savings, how can I justify the investment to my stakeholders?"
Answer:
The long term cost of repairs with your current fleet will be more than the immediate cost of ownership
Feedback:
The response does address the objection by highlighting the long-term cost implications of sticking with the current fleet, which is a good start. However, it lacks depth in exploring the prospect's concerns about immediate cost savings. A more effective approach would involve asking follow-up questions to understand their specific budget constraints and to provide tailored solutions that showcase the overall value and savings over time. Additionally, it would benefit from a clearer communication of the benefits and a more collaborative tone. As it stands, this response could be strengthened by incorporating elements of value exploration, curiosity, and a more engaging closing technique.
Overall, this response is somewhat effective but falls short of fully addressing the prospect's needs.
Score: 5/10.

/ 10Question:
"I've heard mixed reviews about your dealership's reputation; how can I trust you with this purchase?"
Answer:
You are also purchasing my expertise and willingness to take care of customers to create repeat business in the future
Feedback:
The response touches on the salesperson's commitment to customer care and expertise, which is a good start. However, it lacks specificity and doesn't directly address the prospect's concern about mixed reviews. It would be more effective to acknowledge the objection, perhaps share some positive testimonials or ratings, and explain how the dealership addresses past issues. Additionally, asking an open-ended question to explore the prospect's specific concerns could build trust and rapport. The tone is somewhat informal and could be more professional given the context of a significant purchase like a car.

/ 10Question:
"My team isn't ready for a major change right now; how will you help with their adoption of a new vehicle?"
Answer:
I can come to your team and offer walkthroughs on the new technology and make sure they understand the operation of the product
Feedback:
Your response is a good start, but it could be more effective. While you mentioned offering walkthroughs, it would be helpful to elaborate on how you'll tailor the training to address specific concerns or existing knowledge gaps within the team. Additionally, consider highlighting the long-term benefits of the new vehicle, which can help alleviate their fears about adoption. Using a solution-focused approach and asking questions to understand their specific hesitations would also strengthen your response. Overall, you demonstrated a willingness to assist, but more depth and engagement are needed.

4
/ 10Question:
"With so many ongoing projects, I can’t afford to add another consideration; why should I prioritize this car?"
Answer:
If I can make it affordable would it be a priority
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the objection by offering a potential solution (affordability) but lacks depth and clarity. It doesn't fully explore the prospect's concerns or provide compelling reasons to prioritize the car over ongoing projects. A more effective approach would involve asking follow-up questions to understand what would make the car a priority for them, addressing their current projects, and clarifying how this car aligns with their goals. Additionally, the response could benefit from a more engaging tone and a stronger closing technique to encourage further discussion. Overall, it feels a bit dismissive rather than collaborative.

2
/ 10Question:
"If my current car has worked fine so far, how do I convince myself to switch to something new?"
Answer:
You stated your new vehicle would need to have xyz features this has xyz features.
Feedback:
The response does not effectively address the objection. While it mentions features, it lacks depth in exploring the prospect's feelings about switching vehicles. It fails to communicate the benefits of the new car compared to their current one and does not acknowledge the emotional attachment to their existing car. A more effective approach would involve asking open-ended questions to understand their current satisfaction and pain points, and then demonstrating how the new vehicle can meet those needs. Additionally, there’s no closing technique or collaborative engagement. Overall, the response lacks curiosity, active listening, and a solution-focused approach.

/ 10Question:
"Given the current economic uncertainties, is now really the best time to make a significant investment in a new vehicle?"
Answer:
Yes we have historically seen prices rise when the price goes up in a yr the investment will be more
Feedback:
The response provided lacks depth and does not effectively address the prospect's concern about economic uncertainties. It fails to acknowledge the emotional aspect of the objection or provide a clear rationale for why now might be a good time to invest in a vehicle. There's no curiosity or discovery demonstrated through questions, and the communication is unclear and unconvincing. A more effective approach would involve exploring the prospect's financial situation or offering insights on current market trends, financing options, or the long-term value of the vehicle. Overall, the response misses the mark for building rapport and demonstrating value.
Consider using a consultative approach to understand the prospect's fears better and provide tailored solutions that align with their needs.

/ 10Question:
"Your car seems great, but how can I be sure it meets my specific customization requirements?"
Answer:
What are the customization requirements?
Feedback:
The response directly asks for more details about the customization requirements, which is a good starting point for understanding the prospect's needs. However, it lacks depth in addressing the concern and doesn't provide any reassurance or examples of how your car can accommodate various customization options. This could leave the prospect feeling uncertain. To improve, consider acknowledging their concern first, then ask for specifics while also sharing how your offerings have successfully met similar needs for other customers. This would enhance credibility and show that you are solution-focused.
Additionally, it could benefit from a more engaging tone to foster a collaborative approach. Overall, while you made a solid effort to open a dialogue, there's room for improvement in value exploration and building rapport.
Score: 5 out of 10.
