Let's get real here – your performance is hovering in the danger zone with an average score of 4.7. You’ve got the foundational skills, but you’re missing the depth and engagement that could elevate you to the next level. Your strongest technique is your ability to establish credibility and address concerns, but you often fall short on specifics and active listening. Consistently, your responses lack the tailored follow-up questions that could demonstrate curiosity and build trust. You need to dig deeper into the implications of customer needs and provide relatable examples that show you understand their unique situations. I suggest you focus on mastering SPIN Selling to enhance your questioning techniques and dive into Value Selling to truly articulate the benefits over mere features. Remember, it’s not just about answering questions; it’s about fostering a dialogue that makes the prospect feel heard and valued. Your coaching moment? Don’t just scratch the surface – go deep. Transform your responses from generic assurances to insightful conversations that resonate with your prospects. You have the potential, now it's time to unleash it.

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about the long-term durability of your roofing materials; what guarantees do you offer?"
Answer:
Understandable, we offer a 10 year workmanship and also the manufacturer holds a 30 year. That means no matter what you are double covered and you have peace of mind.
Feedback:
Your response acknowledges the prospect's concern, which is a good start, but it lacks depth in exploring the implications of durability. You could enhance your answer by asking follow-up questions, such as what specific qualities they are looking for in terms of durability, or if they have experienced issues with other materials in the past. This would demonstrate active listening and curiosity. Additionally, consider incorporating a value exploration element by discussing the benefits of both the workmanship and manufacturer warranties in relation to their specific needs.

"How will your solution adapt if we need to scale our operations in the future?"
Answer:
We are versatile in all aspects of the roofing industry and we can adapt to anything you need.
Feedback:
Your response provides a general assurance of versatility, but it lacks specificity and depth. To effectively address the prospect's concern about scaling, consider providing examples of how your services can adapt to changing needs, such as adjustments in project size, type of materials, or timelines. Additionally, asking follow-up questions like what specific scaling needs they anticipate or any past challenges they faced with scaling can help demonstrate active listening and a collaborative approach. This would not only build rapport but also allow you to tailor your response to their unique situation.

/ 10Question:
"With limited budget flexibility this quarter, how can we justify this expenditure over alternatives?"
Answer:
No worries, flexibility is what we work with. We offer competitive financing that is extremely affordable but first we look to get insurance to fund your project first to cover your expenses.
Feedback:
Your response attempts to address the budget concern by mentioning competitive financing options, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks depth in justifying the expenditure compared to alternatives. It would be beneficial to explore the prospect's specific budget constraints and discuss the long-term value and cost-effectiveness of your roofing solution in relation to cheaper alternatives. Asking about their previous experiences with similar projects and how financing has impacted their decisions can also demonstrate active listening and a collaborative approach. Additionally, consider providing examples of successful projects where financing played a role in achieving better outcomes.

"What is the expected timeline for installation and how will it impact our current operations?"
Answer:
It won’t cause any impact to your current operations and typically we look at a 8 to 10 hour timeline.
Feedback:
Your response offers a quick reassurance that there will be no impact on current operations, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks detail and depth. Consider elaborating on the installation process and how you plan to ensure minimal disruption, perhaps by discussing scheduling flexibility or any pre-installation preparations. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have specific time constraints or concerns about their operations during installation could demonstrate active listening and help you address their unique situation. This would also help build rapport and trust.

"We've had issues with past contractors; how can I be sure your team will deliver the quality we need?"
Answer:
We are licensed and have been in this business for 8 years with over 1000 installs and reviews. We can provide any reference you need.
Feedback:
Your response effectively establishes credibility by mentioning your experience and licensing, which is a good start. However, it lacks a deeper exploration of the prospect's past issues with contractors. To enhance your answer, consider asking open-ended questions about their specific concerns or experiences that led to dissatisfaction. This can help you address their fears directly and tailor your assurances. Additionally, discussing the measures you take to ensure quality control throughout the installation process could further reassure them. Sharing specific examples or success stories from previous clients can also demonstrate your team's commitment to quality and reliability.

"Considering the current market, how do your prices compare with others, especially for similar quality?"
Answer:
We like to work with the market so when prices fluctuate we find ways to keep the market as competitive as possible.
Feedback:
Your response touches on the importance of competitiveness in pricing, which is relevant to the prospect's inquiry. However, it lacks specificity and doesn't directly answer how your prices compare to competitors. To enhance your response, consider providing concrete examples or data that illustrate the value of your pricing in relation to the quality you offer. Additionally, it would be beneficial to ask the prospect about their specific concerns regarding pricing or any previous experiences they may have had with competitors. This approach would demonstrate active listening and allow you to tailor your response to their needs more effectively, thereby building rapport and trust.

"I need to understand the ROI on this roofing solution to get buy-in from my superiors; can you provide specific metrics?"
Answer:
Yes ROI for this investment within the first 5 years is 100% return. If you need an appraisal to solidify I can provide one at our expense.
Feedback:
Your response directly addresses the ROI concern by stating a 100% return over five years, which is a strong point. However, it could be enhanced by providing more context around how this ROI is calculated, such as detailing cost savings, increased property value, or reduced maintenance costs associated with your roofing solution. Furthermore, offering to share case studies or examples of past clients who achieved similar returns would strengthen your argument. Additionally, ask open-ended questions to understand what specific metrics or data points your prospect’s superiors are looking for, which would demonstrate active listening and collaboration.

Answer:
We have a 24/7 service that provides immediate service for you if you have any issues with our service. We also certify our work for 10 years guaranteeing you peace of mind.
Feedback:
Your response addresses the concern about post-installation issues by mentioning a 24/7 service and a 10-year certification, which is a positive start. However, it could be improved by elaborating on how your customer support team operates in practice, such as the average response time or specific examples of how you've resolved past issues for clients. Additionally, you could ask the prospect if they have had specific issues in the past or what concerns they have regarding support, which would demonstrate active listening and a more tailored approach. Overall, while your response conveys reassurance, enhancing it with specifics and engagement would strengthen your effectiveness.

Answer:
All documentation is put through our company portal and followed up by our licensed insurance agent that provides all documentation to you at no extra expense.
Feedback:
Your response addresses the documentation and compliance concern by mentioning a company portal and licensed insurance agent, which is a good start. However, it lacks detail on how this process works and the specific steps involved. To enhance your answer, consider explaining what types of documentation are required, how compliance is ensured, and any timelines for processing these documents. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have specific concerns or past experiences related to documentation and compliance could demonstrate active listening and help you tailor your response to their needs. Offering examples of how you've successfully navigated similar requirements in past projects would also add credibility to your response.

Answer:
Perfect. We have our own team that can accommodate you in that issue.
Feedback:
Your response provides a basic reassurance that your team can accommodate the prospect's availability issue. However, it lacks detail on how this would specifically affect the timeline and process. To enhance your response, you could elaborate on the flexibility of your scheduling, how you manage resources to minimize delays, and any contingency plans in place. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have specific scheduling constraints or preferences would demonstrate active listening and encourage a more collaborative discussion. Overall, while your intent to address the concern is good, providing more context and engaging with the prospect's needs would strengthen your response.
