You've got a solid foundation, but we need to elevate your game. Your strongest technique appears to be solution-focused selling, as you often recognize the customer's concerns and try to address them. However, the patterns show a consistent struggle with providing tailored solutions and specific examples that highlight your service's value. While your tone is generally friendly and professional, you sometimes lack the confidence and assurance that can inspire trust in prospects. To power up your selling skills, dive deeper into the Challenger Sale and Value Proposition Selling methods. These will refine your ability to present compelling reasons for clients to choose you over competitors. Remember, it’s not just about acknowledging concerns; it’s about instilling confidence with concrete examples and next steps. A key takeaway? Don't just sell a service; sell the transformation it brings. Challenge yourself to think beyond the features and weave in stories that resonate with your clients' needs. You have the potential to shine brighter—now go make it happen!

Answer:
That makes sense, Victoria, when monthly payments start piling up. It can feel overwhelming. Do you want to go over your budget together and see where adjustments can be made?

Additionally, while you asked about the biggest strain on her budget, consider offering specific examples of how your service can provide significant value or savings.
