Well, well, well! You’ve managed to score a solid 5.2 average, which isn’t great, but at least it's not a total flop. Let's break it down: your attempt to address objections is commendable, but your delivery often falls flat. You seem to struggle with engagement and collaborative dialogue—like, hello, this is sales, not a monologue! You need to step up your game by asking better questions and really listening to your prospects. Your tone? Let's just say it could use a little more honey and a lot less vinegar. Sure, you hit some good points on urgency and flexibility, but you’re missing the mark on building rapport and demonstrating real value. If you put even half the effort into improving your approach as you do into dodging feedback, you'd be unstoppable. Time to step it up, champ!
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"We are already working with another provider, why should we switch?"
Answer:
I don't know if you should switch, I need to know more about you to see if we can help you.
Feedback:
The response lacks effectiveness in addressing the concern directly. While it's good that you expressed the need to learn more about the prospect, it misses an opportunity to provide value or differentiate your offering. Clear communication is important, but the tone could be more engaging and confident. You should aim to create curiosity about what you can offer compared to their current provider—perhaps by highlighting unique benefits or success stories. Additionally, asking questions to discover what they value in their current provider could enhance your approach. Overall, this response fails to build rapport or demonstrate any value, leading to a lack of a collaborative approach.
To improve, consider asking specific questions about their current provider and what challenges they face, while also subtly introducing how your solution might address those issues.

/ 10Question:
"Your pricing seems higher than what we've seen in other proposals."
Answer:
I agree, what we do is expensive and it's because what we do works, we have a 96% success rate.
Feedback:
The response does acknowledge the objection, which is a good start, but it lacks a more nuanced approach to addressing the concern about pricing. While mentioning the success rate adds credibility, it doesn't effectively justify the cost or explore the value of the service offered. There is no attempt to ask the prospect any follow-up questions to understand their needs better or to compare the benefits of your service versus competitors. Additionally, the tone is somewhat dismissive with the phrase "what we do is expensive." A more collaborative approach that explains the reasons behind the pricing and invites further discussion would enhance the response significantly. Overall, it misses a key opportunity to engage and build rapport with the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"We don't believe we need this solution right now, can you show us its urgency?"
Answer:
You mentioned to me you were committed at a level 10/10 to getting help with this. Knowing this is a progressive disease, what does your life look like a year from now of you don't get started today?
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the concern by reminding the prospect of their commitment level and highlights the urgency of the situation. By asking what their life looks like a year from now without the solution, the salesperson encourages the prospect to visualize the consequences of inaction, thus creating a sense of urgency.
However, the communication could be perceived as slightly confrontational, depending on the prospect's tone and previous interactions. A softer approach, such as acknowledging their hesitation and asking if there are specific concerns holding them back, might foster a more collaborative dialogue.
Although the closing technique is somewhat present with the question posed, it could be stronger by reiterating the value of the solution or offering to discuss potential next steps. Overall, the response demonstrates some curiosity and discovery, as well as an understanding of the prospect's perspective, but it could benefit from enhanced rapport-building and a more solution-focused tone.
Overall, the response is solid but requires a bit more finesse in tone and engagement.

/ 10Question:
"Can you guarantee that your service will reduce our costs in the long run?"
Answer:
I cannot guarantee anything in the medical field but I can guarantee you that by doing nothing or trying what you've been trying is not going to give you the chance of getting better and treating the root cause of your problem.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the objection but lacks effectiveness and clarity. It avoids directly addressing the prospect's concern about guaranteeing cost reduction. While it attempts to highlight inaction as a poor choice, it doesn't provide a compelling reason to consider your service. The tone could be perceived as dismissive rather than engaging, and it misses an opportunity to explore the prospect's specific needs and outcomes. Additionally, it would benefit from a clearer value proposition and a collaborative tone. Asking questions about their current challenges or providing case studies could enhance the discovery and solution-focused approach. Overall, the response needs improvement in addressing the prospect's perspective and demonstrating value.

/ 10Question:
"We've had a negative experience with a similar product in the past, how is yours different?"
Answer:
Our product works, look at these testimonials of patients we've helped and again, we have a 96% success rate.
Feedback:
The response touches on the effectiveness of the product by referencing testimonials and a success rate, which is a good start. However, it lacks depth in addressing the specific concern of the negative past experience. The salesperson should have asked more about the client's previous experience to better understand their hesitation and provide tailored reassurance. The tone is somewhat dismissive, as it doesn't fully acknowledge the prospect's feelings about their past issues. Additionally, there is no closing technique or inquiry to move the conversation forward. Overall, while there are elements of value exploration, it misses a collaborative approach and active listening.

/ 10Question:
"Our budget for this year is allocated elsewhere, can you work with us on timing?"
Answer:
I'd love to work with you on timing. We also have several other payment avenues to get you started today including a monthly payment plan, would this be something you could do?
Feedback:
The salesperson effectively addressed the concern by proposing a monthly payment plan, which shows flexibility and an understanding of budget constraints. However, they could enhance their response by acknowledging the prospect's situation more explicitly and asking more probing questions to uncover the potential for future collaboration or adjustments in their budget. The communication is clear and appropriately toned for the healthcare industry, but it lacks a sense of urgency or a strong closing technique to encourage immediate action. Additionally, they could have explored the value of their solution more deeply and how it aligns with the prospect's needs. Overall, there's a good foundation, but opportunities for improvement remain.

/ 10Question:
"How will your solution help us improve patient outcomes specifically?"
Answer:
Our solution treats the root cause of the issue through nutrition and allowing the body to heal naturally which results in better outcomes for patients vs. the traditional route of medicating the issue but never really treating the underlying issue.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the objection by highlighting the holistic approach of the solution, which focuses on treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms. However, it could be improved by providing specific examples or data that demonstrate how this approach has led to improved patient outcomes in real-world scenarios. The tone is appropriate for the healthcare industry, but it lacks a closing technique to prompt further conversation or questions from the prospect. Additionally, it would benefit from inviting the prospect to share their current challenges or to explore how this solution can be tailored specifically to their needs, fostering a more collaborative approach. Overall, while it demonstrates value, it could further enhance engagement and discovery.

/ 10Question:
"I need to consult with my team before making a decision, can you give me more time?"
Answer:
I'm confused, you mentioned to me that you were fully committed to getting started, what is it that you need to consult with your team about? If more time is absolutely needed can you tell me how much time you need so we can setup a follow up appointment today to revisit this at that time?
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the prospect's objection by seeking clarification on their need for consultation, which shows curiosity and a willingness to understand their perspective. However, the tone may come off as slightly confrontational with the phrase "I'm confused," which could create defensiveness. It would be more effective to express understanding first before asking for details. The closing technique is present as it proposes setting up a follow-up appointment, demonstrating a solution-focused approach. However, actively listening and validating their need for team consultation could enhance rapport-building. Overall, the response does address the concern but could benefit from a softer, more collaborative tone.

/ 10Question:
"What if your solution doesn't integrate well with our current systems?"
Answer:
Our team is committed to do everything in our power to ensure that our solution will integrate well with your system and will work until it does.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the concern about integration, which shows some level of active listening. However, it lacks depth in addressing the objection effectively. There should be more specific information about how your solution has successfully integrated with similar systems in the past or details about the support and resources available for integration. The tone is somewhat reassuring but could be more collaborative by inviting further discussion. Asking questions to explore the prospect's current system and specific concerns further would also demonstrate curiosity and a solution-focused approach. Overall, the response lacks a strong closing technique that would encourage the prospect to move forward in the conversation.
Score: 5

/ 10Question:
"We are concerned about the long-term commitments involved, can you clarify your contract terms?"
Answer:
Of course, our terms expand over a two year period of interest free monthly payments. There is no prepayment penalty for paying it off early should you choose to do so and I'm confident we will save you more than enough money with our solution to offset any financial concerns you have now.
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the concern about long-term commitments by clarifying the contract terms, specifically the interest-free payments and lack of prepayment penalty. The tone is professional and appropriate for the healthcare industry. However, it could improve by including a closing technique, such as asking if they have any specific concerns about the contract or if they'd like to discuss further. A more solution-focused approach could highlight how the savings can be realized over time, possibly by providing a brief example or case study. Additionally, incorporating curiosity by asking the prospect about their specific concerns would enhance engagement and active listening. Overall, it demonstrates value and a collaborative approach but lacks depth in exploring the prospect's needs further.
