Let’s get real – your performance is hovering in the danger zone. An average score of 4.5 isn’t exactly a badge of honor; it’s a wake-up call. You’ve shown some flashes of understanding, particularly when you acknowledge the prospect's concerns, but too often you’re leaving them hanging with vague promises and a lack of specificity. You need to dig deeper into the customer’s pain points and provide tailored solutions that demonstrate clear value. Your strongest moments came when you attempted to address concerns about risks and stability, but even those moments lacked the necessary evidence to back your claims.
Consistent patterns are emerging here; while you engage the prospect at times, you frequently fall into the trap of being too simplistic or vague. This is not a game of checkers, it’s chess. You need to think several moves ahead and anticipate the prospect’s needs and concerns. You must practice the art of storytelling and providing concrete examples to support your claims.
To elevate your game, I suggest you study the Challenger Sale and the Consultative Selling techniques. These will help you challenge the prospect’s thinking and engage them in a more meaningful way, while also allowing you to build those long-term relationships that you currently lack.
Here’s your coaching moment: every interaction is an opportunity for connection. Don’t just aim to answer questions; aim to understand the prospect’s world and guide them through it. You have the potential to shine, but you need to stop being a passive participant in the conversation and start being a proactive guide. Get to work!

"I'm concerned about how the monthly payments for this meat supplier will fit into my budget, especially with other expenses coming up."
Answer:
I’m
Glad you brought that up. I think you will find this will actually put money back in your pocket. Let me show you how
Feedback:
The response lacks depth and does not directly address the prospect's concern about fitting monthly payments into their budget. It also makes a vague promise of saving money without providing any specific evidence or details. A more effective approach would involve asking questions to understand the prospect's budget constraints better and then providing tailored solutions or demonstrating how your offering can save costs or generate ROI. Overall, the communication is too brief and fails to engage the prospect meaningfully.

/ 10Question:
"We’ve been with our current supplier for years; switching feels risky, especially if there's a disruption in our supply."
Answer:
Great point. I understand how important that is. I’ve had lots of clients that felt exactly the same and now that they’ve tried us they found that there was no interruption in supply and that they were getting a way better value through our company
Feedback:
The response does acknowledge the prospect's concern about the risks of switching suppliers, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks specific details or evidence to alleviate the prospect's fears about disruption during the switch. While mentioning past clients who had similar concerns is a good strategy, it would be more effective to provide concrete examples or data demonstrating a seamless transition and enhanced value. Additionally, asking the prospect open-ended questions to explore their specific worries further could build rapport and show genuine interest in their situation. Overall, the answer needs to be more solution-focused and proactive in addressing the prospect's hesitations.

"Can you explain the hidden costs associated with this product? I want to make sure there aren't any surprises down the line."
Answer:
Yes absolutely. Either our product there are no delivery fees you get exactly what you ordered for the price we agreed on. In fact if you reorder within a year we will honor this special pricing one more time even if our costs go up.
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the concern about hidden costs by mentioning no delivery fees and a guarantee on pricing, which is a good start. However, it lacks clarity and fails to thoroughly explain any potential hidden costs, such as possible increases in prices for specific cuts or any additional fees that may not be immediately apparent. A more effective response would include an exploration of all possible costs involved, along with a reassurance of transparent pricing. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have any specific examples or scenarios in mind could enhance understanding and engagement. Overall, the answer is somewhat vague and could benefit from greater detail and interaction.

/ 10Question:
"I need to see a clear ROI for this meat upgrade; how does it justify the cost in terms of sales and customer satisfaction?"
Answer:
USDA surveys suggest that the average family spends 3-4000 a year on meat products. Our volume pricing can cut that bill in half plus we offer a one year gsurantee on our product for taste tenderness and freezer burn. If you ever have an issue with quality we will replace it.
Feedback:
The response effectively references USDA surveys to establish a baseline for meat spending, which is a strong start. However, it could be improved by providing specific examples or figures that directly demonstrate the ROI of switching to your meat products, particularly in relation to sales growth or customer retention. Additionally, the mention of volume pricing is good, but it doesn't clearly link to how this would improve the prospect's bottom line or customer satisfaction. Including testimonials or case studies could further substantiate the claims made. Overall, while there is some relevant information, the response lacks a direct connection between the product benefits and the prospect's need for clear ROI, and it could benefit from greater clarity and specificity.

/ 10Question:
"Is the quality of your meat consistent? I've had issues with suppliers before, and I need to ensure my customers are always satisfied."
Answer:
Great question! Would you say consistency and quality are big concerns for you?
I’m familiar with these other suppliers and the issues that they’ve had. I’ve heard that they’ve had and our company is proud to offer something superior. So we source our beef only from the best farms and ranches. And have a state of the art packing plant.
Those 2 concerns you brought up are at the heart of why we opened up our company. Those are what we specialize in
Feedback:
The response begins well by engaging the prospect with a question about their concerns, which shows curiosity and promotes discovery. However, the initial question could be more direct and tied to the specific context of the prospect's experience with inconsistency. While you mention sourcing from the best farms and having a state-of-the-art packing plant, which is valuable information, the response lacks specific examples or proof of how these factors translate into consistent quality. Adding a concrete example or testimonial would further build credibility. Additionally, addressing the prospect's past experiences directly could enhance rapport and trust. Overall, the response shows some strengths in engagement and positioning, but it requires more specificity and direct evidence to be fully effective.

/ 10Question:
"How quickly can this be implemented? My team is already stretched thin, and I don't want to disrupt our current workflow."
Answer:
How soon would you like it delivered?
Feedback:
The response is overly simplistic and does not adequately address the prospect's concern about implementation and potential disruption. Instead of just asking about delivery timing, it would be more effective to acknowledge their worries about their team's capacity and workflow. A better approach would involve discussing the implementation process, offering solutions to minimize disruption, and potentially providing examples of how other clients have successfully transitioned without issues. Engaging the prospect further with questions about their current processes or specific challenges would help build rapport and demonstrate proactive consideration of their needs.

/ 10Question:
"My clients are demanding sustainable options; how does your meat supply align with that trend?"
Answer:
It’s smart that your business is servicing clients like this. This is definitely the way the market is trending. The farm association we source your beef from are at the forefront of sustainable farming.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the prospect's concern about sustainability, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks specific details about how your meat supply aligns with sustainable practices. Mentioning the farm association is a good start, but it would be more effective to provide examples of specific sustainable practices, certifications, or initiatives that demonstrate your commitment to sustainability. Additionally, engaging the prospect with questions about their specific sustainability goals or preferences could foster a more collaborative dialogue and build rapport. Overall, while the intent is noted, the response requires more substance and direct relevance to the prospect's needs for it to be compelling.

/ 10Question:
"The market is unpredictable right now; how can I be sure investing in your meat supply is a wise decision?"
Answer:
Well you seem like a smart buyer. The unpredictability of the market is exactly why our company is the wisest choice. We can promise confirmed pricing for one year with your first purchase so we’ll honor this pricing today for a full year regardless of the market. This will make it easier for your business to control costs. If your company did decide to do business with us How much product would your company use per week.
Feedback:
The response successfully acknowledges the prospect's concern about market unpredictability and positions your company as a stable choice by offering confirmed pricing for one year. This is a positive angle as it addresses cost control directly. However, the response could benefit from more substance; it lacks details on how the pricing stability translates into long-term value or risk mitigation for the prospect. More specific examples or data could further support your claim. Additionally, the question at the end about product usage is good for engagement, but it could be framed in a way that better connects to the prospect's concerns about market stability. Overall, while the response shows some strengths in addressing the objection, it requires further elaboration to be fully effective.

/ 10Question:
"I like what I see, but can you confirm that your products meet all the necessary compliance standards?"
Answer:
Absolutely! Here is our health permit for our facility, here is our usda inspection stamp. We also have State and Local business license as well as an A+ with the bbb
Are there any other things your company would need to see in order to be comfortable moving forward with us?
Feedback:
The response begins positively by affirming the prospect's request for compliance information and providing specific evidence such as health permits and inspection stamps. However, it could be enhanced by explicitly stating the significance of these documents to reassure the prospect about the quality and safety of the products. Additionally, while asking if there are other documents needed is a good way to engage further, you could have also invited a dialogue about the prospect's compliance concerns, which may build greater rapport. Overall, the response is informative but could benefit from deeper engagement and clarity regarding the importance of the compliance documentation.

"Do you offer any customization options? My menu is specific, and I need to know I can get what I want."
Answer:
Yes absolutely. What customizations would you like to see?
Feedback:
The response positively acknowledges the prospect's request for customization, which is a good start. However, it lacks depth in addressing how your company caters to specific customization needs. Instead of only asking what customizations the prospect is looking for, it would be beneficial to provide examples of past customizations you've successfully delivered for similar clients. This approach would not only show your capability but also build confidence. Additionally, you could elaborate on your flexibility and willingness to discuss specific requirements, creating a sense of collaboration. Overall, while there is a willingness to engage, the response could be more informative and solution-focused.
