Let's be blunt: your performance is falling short, and it shows. With an average score of 3.7, it’s evident you’re not connecting with your prospects as you should. You’re missing the mark on building rapport and addressing objections effectively. Your responses often lack depth and clarity, leaving important customer concerns unengaged. Instead of dismissing their loyalty or concerns, you need to validate them and explore underlying issues. You’ve got the right intentions, like showing curiosity and empathy, but you’re not backing them up with solid, clear information or examples that demonstrate value.
To elevate your game, focus on honing your skills in consultative selling and solution-focused selling. These techniques will help you ask the right questions and provide tailored solutions that resonate with your prospects.
Remember, every interaction is an opportunity to build trust and showcase your value. Don’t let your responses come off as casual or unprofessional; they need to be polished and informative. This is your chance to turn potential objections into conversations that highlight your expertise.
Take this as a coaching moment: every customer interaction should leave them feeling understood and valued. Approach each conversation with genuine curiosity and a commitment to clarity. You’ve got the potential to improve, but it’s time to step up and show it.
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"We've been using our current vendor for years; why should we consider switching now?"
Answer:
If you’re happy with your current situation, no problem. If you were to ever make a change, what would be a couple things that would make life easier for you?
Feedback:
The response fails to effectively address the customer's loyalty to their current vendor. Instead of validating their relationship, it dismisses it outright. A better approach would be to explore the reasons behind their satisfaction and gently uncover any potential pain points or gaps in service. This response lacks curiosity about the customer's needs and doesn't offer any value related to the roofing solution being sold. Overall, it misses an opportunity to engage meaningfully with the prospect's concerns and build rapport.

/ 10Question:
"What makes your roofing solution more cost-effective than the alternatives we've looked into?"
Answer:
Little to no overhead in our process, your money goes into your home.
Feedback:
The response lacks clarity and depth, failing to explain how the low overhead translates into cost savings for the customer. It also misses an opportunity to compare specific features or benefits of your roofing solution against competitors. Engaging the prospect with questions about their previous experiences with alternatives could help identify their needs and reinforce your value proposition. Overall, this response does not effectively address the objection or demonstrate a solution-focused approach.

/ 10Question:
"I’m concerned about the hidden costs associated with your service; can you clarify what those might be?"
Answer:
He offer the very transparent pricing so you never get hit with a surprise, have you been burned by hidden costs before?
Feedback:
The response attempts to address concerns about hidden costs by promoting transparent pricing, which is a positive approach. However, the phrasing is unclear and grammatically incorrect, undermining the professionalism of the communication. Additionally, while it is good to ask if the prospect has been burned before, it misses the opportunity to directly clarify any potential hidden costs associated with your service. Offering specific examples or assurances about pricing structures would enhance trust and alleviate concerns. Overall, the response lacks clarity and detail, which is crucial in addressing financial concerns effectively.

/ 10Question:
"With the current economic climate, how can we be sure investing in your roofing solution is worth it?"
Answer:
I understand money is tight for a lot of people these days. We offer a lifetime solution to be sure you’re making an investment in your home, not just buying a roof.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the prospect's concern about the economic climate, which is a good start in establishing empathy. However, it lacks specific details or examples that reinforce the value of investing in your roofing solution during tough times. Instead of just mentioning a 'lifetime solution,' elaborating on how this investment can save money in the long run or protect the property could create a stronger argument. Additionally, incorporating a question to explore the prospect's specific concerns or financial constraints could deepen the conversation and demonstrate a more collaborative approach. Overall, while empathetic, the response needs more depth and a stronger connection to the prospect's financial concerns.

/ 10Question:
"How do you ensure compliance with industry regulations, and what support do you offer for that?"
Answer:
We have experienced crews who fully understand all codes and regulations. What experience have you had in the past when it comes to compliance.
Feedback:
The response effectively points out the experience of the crews, which is a good start in addressing the compliance concern. However, it lacks depth and specific details about how compliance is ensured and what support is available for the prospect. Instead of just mentioning the experienced crews, consider providing examples of compliance processes, certifications, or support mechanisms in place. The question asked about the prospect's past experience is a positive approach to engage them, but it should be accompanied by more value-driven information. Overall, while there is an attempt to connect, the response needs more elaboration on the compliance aspect to fully satisfy the objection.

/ 10Question:
"Looking at ROI, how long should we expect before seeing a return on our investment with your roofing system?"
Answer:
When it comes to the ROI, what will you be using to measure this?
Feedback:
The response attempts to engage the prospect by asking how they plan to measure ROI, which is a positive step towards understanding their expectations. However, it lacks a proactive approach in addressing the question directly. Instead of solely asking for their metrics, it would have been more effective to provide an estimated timeline for ROI based on typical customer experiences or industry standards. Offering specific examples of ROI from past projects could also enhance the response by providing concrete value. Overall, the response shows curiosity, but it needs to be more informative and solution-oriented to effectively address the objection.

/ 10Question:
"Can your solution scale with our business needs, especially if we decide to expand in the next few years?"
Answer:
Of course, what kind of expansion did you have in mind?
Feedback:
The response demonstrates curiosity by asking about the prospect's expansion plans, which is a positive approach to understanding their needs. However, it lacks a deeper explanation of how your roofing solution can specifically scale to meet those needs. Providing examples of past projects where your solution successfully adapted to changes or increased demand would enhance credibility. Additionally, you could discuss features or aspects of your service that facilitate scalability, such as modular options or flexible support. Overall, while the engagement is good, more information on scalability would strengthen the response.

/ 10Question:
"What kind of training will our staff require to effectively implement your roofing solution?"
Answer:
No training required, we will be handling everything for you, simplest relax amd we will take care of it all.
Feedback:
The response attempts to alleviate any concerns by stating that no training is required and that the company will handle everything. However, the phrasing is overly casual and lacks professionalism, which may undermine trust. Additionally, it fails to provide any reassurance about the implementation process or how the staff will be supported throughout. It would be more effective to explain the implementation process in detail and highlight the support and resources available to ensure a smooth transition. This would help to build confidence in the roofing solution and address any underlying concerns the prospect may have about the integration. Overall, the response lacks depth and clarity, which are crucial in addressing the objection effectively.

/ 10Question:
"Can you explain how your product integrates with our existing building management systems?"
Answer:
We fully inspect the structure of the home, making sure everything is up to code and installed correctly so it will carry the full warranty and provide protection for the lifetime warranty.
Feedback:
The response does not address the prospect's question about integration with existing building management systems. Instead, it focuses on inspection and warranty aspects, which are somewhat related but do not provide the needed information about how the roofing solution interacts with or enhances the current building management systems. To improve, the salesperson should explain specific integration features, compatibility with existing systems, and how this can benefit the customer. Engaging the prospect further by asking about their current systems and any specific integration needs would also foster a collaborative exploration of the solution.

/ 10Question:
"What is your average response time for service issues; how do you handle support for installations post-purchase?"
Answer:
We have an emergency line open 24/7. We strive to make sure your installation will never have any issues, but should someone occurs, will always answer the phone and immediately respond to correct the issue and minimize any further problems.
Feedback:
The response conveys availability with a 24/7 emergency line, which is good for addressing service issue concerns. However, the phrasing is somewhat awkward and lacks professionalism, particularly with the phrase "should someone occurs," which is grammatically incorrect. Additionally, while mentioning immediate response is valuable, it would be more effective to provide specific average response times or examples of past instances where support was successfully provided. This would enhance credibility and reassurance. Overall, the response needs refinement for clarity and professionalism while providing more concrete information about the support process.
