Let’s get real. Your performance here is underwhelming, scoring an average of just 3.8. This is a wake-up call, not a death sentence. You need to step up your game, starting with your ability to listen and engage. Your responses often lack specificity, which is a critical misstep. You're missing the chance to address the prospect's concerns directly and provide tailored solutions. Instead of generic commitments, dive deep into how your offering can genuinely adapt to their needs.
You did show some potential in acknowledging previous negative experiences and the importance of support, but you need to follow through with concrete examples and clarity. It's like you're dancing around the point instead of hitting it straight on. This pattern of vague language and missed opportunities is holding you back.
To improve, I suggest you focus on mastering the Consultative Selling technique. This approach will help you build trust and understand your prospect's needs better. Additionally, practicing Objection Handling Techniques will empower you to tackle concerns head-on with confidence.
Remember, each conversation is an opportunity to connect and demonstrate value. If you want to be a successful salesperson, you need to prioritize clarity, specificity, and active listening. Here’s your coaching moment: don’t just sell a product; sell a solution that resonates with your client's unique challenges. Take this as a chance to grow, and let’s turn this around!

Rather than simply stating a commitment to partnership, it would be more effective to acknowledge the worry, explore their specific needs, and explain how your solution can adapt over time.
