Let's not sugarcoat it; your performance is falling short of expectations, and it's clear there are significant areas needing improvement. The biggest issue is your approach to objection handling. You often miss the mark on empathy and fail to engage customers in meaningful dialogue. Instead of just stating facts, you need to dig deeper to understand their specific concerns, especially regarding budget and value.
While you’ve shown some awareness of customer needs, like the mention of free quotes and transparency, it often lacks the necessary depth. You need to better articulate how your service truly addresses their issues and reassure them of its value. Your responses sometimes come off as vague or disconnected, leaving customers with more questions than answers. Building credibility is essential, but it must come with clear examples and engagement.
To elevate your skills, I suggest you dive into the Consultative Selling and Solution-Focused Selling techniques. Both emphasize building relationships and understanding customer needs in a way that resonates with them.
Remember, sales isn’t just about closing a deal; it’s about fostering trust and understanding. Every customer interaction is an opportunity to connect. So, let’s refocus your energy on listening actively and responding with empathy. Your goal should be to turn objections into dialogues. Own your space, be curious, and make each conversation count!

Answer:
We have over 30 years of combine experience this is a common problem we always solve all around the area.

The response mentions experience, which is a positive aspect, but it lacks a direct answer to the prospect's concern about the effectiveness of the service. It would be more effective to explain how the service specifically addresses their heating issues, perhaps by highlighting past successes or customer testimonials.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve read that some radiator services have hidden fees; how can I be sure yours don’t?"
Answer:
We give free quotes. No cost at all. Once you give us the ok we come in and start the job. From start to finish you will be notified of all parts and Labor. And if there are others parts that needs to be purchased we will let you know first
Feedback:
The response does address the concern about hidden fees by mentioning free quotes and transparency during the job, which is a positive aspect. However, it could be more effective by explicitly stating a guarantee or policy against hidden fees to build trust. Additionally, the communication lacks a personalized touch and does not engage the customer in a deeper conversation about their specific worries. A more proactive approach could include asking the customer about their past experiences with hidden fees and reassuring them how your service differs. Overall, while there is some value exploration, the approach could benefit from more clarity and customer engagement.

Not at all we work around your schedule and your free time we are 24-7 service
Feedback:
The response addresses the objection by stating that the service works around the customer's schedule, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks detail and reassurance that specifically explains how the installation process is managed to minimize disruption. It would be beneficial to elaborate on the steps taken to ensure a smooth installation that aligns with the customer's availability. Additionally, a more empathetic tone could enhance the connection with the customer. Asking a follow-up question about the customer's specific schedule could also demonstrate active listening and curiosity about their situation.

"I’ve had bad experiences before; how can I trust that your service will be different?"
Answer:
Our company and service speaks for it self. 90 percent of our work is recommendation. Johnny gave you our number for a reason
Feedback:
The response emphasizes that a large percentage of the company's work comes from recommendations, which is a good start in building credibility. However, it lacks specificity and fails to directly address the prospect's past negative experiences. To effectively counter this objection, it would be beneficial to acknowledge the customer's concerns first and then provide clear examples or testimonials that demonstrate how your service has improved over time or how you handle issues differently than competitors. Engaging the customer by asking about their specific past experiences could also help to build rapport and trust. Overall, the answer could be more customer-centric and solution-oriented.

/ 10Question:
"What if I find a better deal for radiator service down the street?"
Answer:
Well competition is the best thing about this country. You can always shop around and please do. It’s like your favorite restaurant the price doesn’t matter. You go there because the food and service is amazing. Give us a try and let us become your favorite radiator service. Not because we are the cheapest but because we do the right work once and we back our work 100
Feedback:
The response acknowledges competition, which is a positive aspect, but it does not directly address the prospect's concern about finding a better deal. Using a restaurant analogy may resonate with some, but it lacks a clear connection to the radiator service context and does not engage the customer in a way that emphasizes unique value propositions. It would be more effective to highlight specific benefits of your service, such as quality, reliability, guarantees, or customer satisfaction, and how they outweigh mere pricing considerations. Additionally, asking the customer about their specific needs or what they value most in a service could foster a more collaborative conversation. Overall, the response needs to be more focused on building trust and demonstrating unique value rather than simply encouraging shopping around.

/ 10Question:
"I’m not sure if I should commit to this right now with winter approaching so quickly."
Answer:
You can wait but if you keep this problem going it will only get worse. So why not fix it now at this cost. Rather then waiting and other problems occur. You went from a Simple repair at 500. If you wait it can cost you 1000. Because the problem worsen
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the urgency of the situation, which is a good start; however, it lacks empathy and fails to engage with the customer’s hesitation about committing right now. Instead of merely stating the consequences of waiting, it would be more effective to understand the customer’s concerns and offer reassurance about the value of addressing the issue sooner rather than later. Additionally, the response could benefit from a more positive tone and a collaborative approach by asking the customer about their specific timeline or concerns regarding winter. Overall, while it does provide a sense of urgency, it misses the opportunity to foster a deeper connection and understanding with the prospect.

Answer:
Of course not we will do our best to service you n your needs
Feedback:
The response provides a basic assurance that the service will meet the customer's needs, which is a positive start. However, it lacks specifics about how the service will address their immediate concerns during the cold snap. It would be more effective to explain the steps your team takes to ensure timely service and reliability during urgent situations. Additionally, the phrase "we will do our best" could come across as vague; instead, expressing confidence in your ability to meet their needs would be more reassuring. It could also benefit from asking the customer about their specific situation or urgency to demonstrate empathy and active listening. Overall, this response needs to be more solution-focused and proactive in addressing the customer's concerns.

/ 10Question:
"What if my old radiator model isn't compatible with your service?"
Answer:
We service older models. New ones and obsolete models. If this model is not available not only do we service but we also manufacture in house. No wait time or even having your parts list in shipping
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the customer's concern about compatibility by stating that you service older and obsolete models, which is reassuring. Additionally, mentioning that you manufacture parts in-house helps eliminate concerns about wait times, offering a strong value proposition. However, the communication could be clearer and more structured for a better understanding. It would also be beneficial to invite the customer to share specific details about their radiator model to demonstrate curiosity and engage them further in the conversation. Overall, the response shows a solid understanding of customer needs while presenting a solution, but it could be more engaging and personalized.

/ 10Question:
"I need to consult my partner first; can you help me address their concerns about the price?"
Answer:
Of course let’s get your partner on a 3 way call. Or is the partner is there. I will show him what will be done what will get changed and break down every cost
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the customer's need to consult their partner, which is a positive aspect. However, it could benefit from a more empathetic tone and a clearer structure. Instead of suggesting a three-way call immediately, it might be more effective to ask the customer what specific concerns their partner might have regarding price. This approach demonstrates active listening and curiosity about their situation. Additionally, while the offer to break down costs is valuable, framing it in a way that reassures the partner about the value and benefits of the service could enhance the response. Overall, while there is a willingness to engage, the response needs to be more customer-centric and tailored to address potential concerns thoroughly.
