Let's cut to the chase: your performance on the sales test was disappointing. An average score of 3.6 is far from what you should be aiming for, and it's clear that you need some serious work in several areas. The glaring issue is your ability to address customer concerns. Time and again, your responses lacked depth, specificity, and a genuine connection with the prospect's needs. You missed opportunities to explore their situation, ask probing questions, and provide tailored solutions. Instead, you offered vague reassurances that did little to build trust or rapport.
On a positive note, you did show some understanding of the importance of acknowledging customer concerns, but you need to elevate that to truly engaging in a consultative manner. I suggest you dive into the SPIN Selling and Consultative Selling techniques. These will help you ask the right questions and dig deeper into your prospects' pain points, allowing you to craft compelling solutions that resonate with them.
Here's your coaching moment: remember that selling is not just about pushing a product; it's about understanding the buyer's journey and being a trusted advisor. Get curious about your prospects' challenges and engage with them meaningfully. If you can shift your mindset from selling to serving, you'll start seeing your scores—and your sales—improve.

There is no exploration of the prospect's situation or any attempt to discuss potential cost-saving benefits or return on investment. Additionally, the response does not include questions to uncover more about the prospect's financial concerns or needs, which would demonstrate curiosity and active listening. Overall, the response is too vague and does not build rapport or provide a solution-focused approach.

Answer:
This is in a bit to enhance productivity which can help fast track process and increase productivity.

It does not directly tackle the fear of adding complexity, nor does it provide concrete examples or metrics to support the claim of increased productivity.

/ 10Question:
"I've heard mixed reviews about onboarding; how much time will this actually take?"
Answer:
Onboarding dosent take time, it only takes your availability. I acknowledge that you have heard, giving it a try to experience it can clear all doubts
Feedback:
The response attempts to downplay the time commitment of onboarding but does not effectively address the prospect's concern about mixed reviews. Simply stating that it takes only the prospect's availability lacks detail and does not reassure them. A more effective approach would involve asking about specific concerns they have regarding onboarding and providing clear timelines or examples of past successful onboarding experiences. Furthermore, the phrase "giving it a try" could come across as dismissive; it's important to validate the customer's concerns before suggesting a trial. Overall, the response lacks depth and fails to build rapport or address the prospect's uncertainties adequately.

/ 10Question:
"What makes your solution different from what our current vendor offers?"
Answer:
What make our solutions different is that we are cloud based and with us you dont need to panic about losing your business data that the leverage we have other vendors.
Feedback:
The response attempts to differentiate the solution by highlighting the cloud-based aspect, but it lacks clarity and coherence. It does not effectively explain why this feature is advantageous compared to competitors. The phrase "you don't need to panic about losing your business data" could be interpreted negatively, suggesting that competitors might not have secure solutions. Additionally, the response misses the opportunity to ask questions that would help uncover the prospect's current vendor's shortcomings or specific needs, which would allow for a more tailored response. Overall, the answer is vague and does not adequately build rapport or instill confidence in the value of your solution.

/ 10Question:
"I'm not sure if I can justify this expense right now, considering our current economic climate."
Answer:
Yes, the climate might not be conducive for you, but here’s one thing to know if you don’t know what you have already, you don’t know what you’re losing. The best time to start was yesterday, another best time to start is today
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the economic climate but does not effectively address the prospect's concern about justifying the expense. Instead of providing concrete value or cost-saving benefits, it leans on a vague statement about awareness of loss, which may not resonate with the prospect. Additionally, the statement lacks a curiosity-driven approach; no questions are asked to uncover more about the prospect's specific situation or needs. Overall, the message feels dismissive and does not engage the prospect in a meaningful way. A more effective approach would involve discussing potential ROI, tailoring the solution to their current challenges, and building rapport through active listening.

/ 10Question:
"Can you explain how your service integrates with our existing systems?"
Answer:
Our software can perfectly blend with what you have and enhance your inventory management where you can now view your sales from any location in the world.
Feedback:
The response mentions that the software can blend with existing systems and enhance inventory management, which is a positive start. However, it lacks specificity about how the integration actually works. It would be more effective to provide concrete examples of successful integrations or specific features that make this seamless. Additionally, the phrase "view your sales from any location in the world" shifts focus away from the integration question and may not directly address the prospect's concerns. Asking follow-up questions to understand their current systems would also demonstrate curiosity and active listening, enhancing rapport. Overall, the answer lacks depth and detail needed to instill confidence in the prospect regarding integration capabilities.

/ 10Question:
"How will this affect my team's morale if it disrupts their established routines?"
Answer:
I understand that they have been used to some sort of pattern, let us encourage them to see this as change which will enhance the growth and strength of the entire management. The software is user friendly and won’t take them hours to get used to it.
Feedback:
The response begins with an acknowledgment of the team's established routines, which is a positive aspect of active listening. However, it fails to directly address the prospect's concern regarding the potential disruption to morale. While stating that the software is user-friendly is a step in the right direction, it lacks specific details on how the change might be managed to minimize disruption. Offering examples of similar transitions that have been successful could help reassure the prospect. Additionally, it would be beneficial to ask follow-up questions to understand the specific concerns around morale and to engage the prospect more collaboratively. Overall, the response needs more depth and a focus on empathetic communication to build trust and rapport with the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"I need to know if this is a long-term solution or just a temporary fix before I commit."
Answer:
It’s a long term and permanent solution. 24/7 cloud based system, you can also monitor from any location in. It works offline and online which ticks all your boxes
Feedback:
The response correctly categorizes the solution as long-term and emphasizes its cloud-based nature, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks depth and does not effectively explore the prospect's specific concerns regarding the longevity and reliability of the solution. There’s no engagement through questions that could help clarify what ‘long-term’ means to the prospect or how this solution aligns with their strategic goals. Additionally, the phrase 'ticks all your boxes' feels vague and doesn't provide specific benefits or evidence to reinforce the statement. Overall, the response could improve by incorporating a more consultative approach, asking for the prospect's definition of a long-term solution, and providing concrete examples of how the solution has been successful over time for other clients.

/ 10Question:
"What if this doesn't deliver the results we're hoping for? That feels like a big risk."
Answer:
I acknowledge your fear, it’s actually a healthy one! You really can’t tell how best or competent we are until you give us a try. A trial will really convince you. We have been operating for years and have never experienced downtime.
Feedback:
The response begins positively by acknowledging the prospect's fear, which demonstrates some level of active listening. However, it falls short of effectively addressing the concern about risk associated with uncertain results. The suggestion of a trial is a good tactic, but it lacks a detailed explanation of how the trial will mitigate risks or what specific outcomes the prospect can expect. Additionally, stating that the company has never experienced downtime does not directly relate to the prospect's concern about results. It would be more effective to provide examples or case studies where similar clients have achieved success or to clarify the metrics for measuring success. Overall, the response needs more depth in addressing the implications of the fear and should focus on instilling confidence in the solution's reliability and effectiveness.

/ 10Question:
"I have other priorities on my plate right now; can this wait?"
Answer:
I acknowledge your the importance of your current priorities, but the software is needed to keep you business working even while you’re absent or doing other things. It gives you liberty to explore and focus on more important things.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the prospect's current priorities, which is a positive aspect of active listening. However, it does not effectively address the concern about timing and whether the decision can be postponed. Simply stating that the software is necessary while they focus on other things does not provide a clear rationale for urgency or how the software can alleviate current priorities. It would be more persuasive to explore the implications of waiting, such as missed opportunities or challenges that could arise from delays. Additionally, asking questions to better understand the prospect's specific priorities could lead to a more tailored discussion, enhancing rapport. Overall, the answer needs to connect the software's value to the prospect's immediate needs more effectively and engage them in a collaborative manner.
