Your performance shows some solid potential, but there’s a clear need for improvement in several areas. You've demonstrated a decent grasp of relationship-building techniques and have shown some ability to address customer concerns, but your responses often lack the depth and engagement necessary to truly connect with prospects. You excel when you actively listen and show curiosity, particularly in the responses that scored higher. However, many of your interactions came off as transactional, missing the chance to explore the customer's needs and concerns in a meaningful way.
To elevate your skills, focus on enhancing your consultative selling approach. Delve deeper into understanding customer pain points and weaving in personal stories or testimonials to build trust and credibility. Additionally, you should practice objection handling techniques that encourage dialogue and exploration, rather than simply providing surface-level responses.
Remember, sales is not just about answering questions—it's about creating a conversation that leads to a solution. Think of every interaction as an opportunity to uncover valuable insights about your customers. If you can master this, you will not only improve your scores but also create lasting relationships with your clients. Keep pushing yourself to dig deeper, and you’ll see the results you're looking for.
Question Breakdown

5
/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about how this will fit into my monthly budget, especially with other expenses coming up."
Answer:
This will save you time and money. With our service you will have time to focus on other tasks. And once we clean up your area it will be an easier sale with home buyers
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the budget concern by emphasizing time and money savings, which is a good start. However, it lacks a direct acknowledgment of the prospect's specific financial worries and does not include any questions to explore their budget constraints further. A more effective approach would involve asking about their budget limits, offering tailored solutions or payment plans, and demonstrating how the service provides value that aligns with their financial situation. Additionally, while mentioning that a clean area can ease home sales is a good point, it could be more impactful if it connected directly to potential financial benefits (e.g., how much more they could sell their home for). Overall, the response is somewhat solution-focused but could benefit from more curiosity and discovery.

/ 10Question:
"I've heard mixed reviews about your company—what makes you different from the competition?"
Answer:
The difference is we always answer the phone and we always show up when we say we do. We are not the cheapest but we do what we say we will
Feedback:
The response addresses the concern of mixed reviews by highlighting reliability, which is crucial in the junk removal industry. However, it lacks a deeper exploration of what differentiates the company beyond just answering the phone and showing up. It would benefit from adding a personal touch, perhaps sharing a brief story or customer testimonial to illustrate the company's commitment to service. The tone is appropriate, but it could be more engaging and inviting, perhaps by asking the prospect about their specific concerns with other companies to foster a more collaborative discussion. Overall, the response is solid but could use more depth and a solution-focused approach to truly stand out.

/ 10Question:
"I have a friend who had a bad experience with a similar service; how can I trust that won't happen to me?"
Answer:
We are setting the gold standard for junk removal.
We do a full building wall through with our customers before we ever leave the premises.
This ensures you are happy with us.
And we offer a free sweep after we finish
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the customer's concern by emphasizing quality and customer satisfaction, which is good. However, it lacks depth in addressing the specific objection about trust due to a friend's bad experience. Instead of just stating that you set the 'gold standard', it would be beneficial to share specific customer testimonials or examples of how you've resolved similar concerns in the past. Additionally, the mention of a 'free sweep' is a nice touch but could be perceived as a bit trivial in the face of a trust issue. Overall, it could use more empathy and information to build credibility and trust with the prospect.

"I'm not sure if this service is necessary for me right now; I haven’t really felt overwhelmed by junk at home."
Answer:
We are there to keep your life balanced.
Having us clear the area we can not only save you from a future headache. But it will save you from spending more money in one load.
We trust that you will be satisfied as we are members of the better business bureau.
And we have all 5 star ratings to keep you happy
Feedback:
Your response touches on the value of prevention and saving money, which is a good angle, but it lacks depth in addressing the prospect's specific concern about necessity. You could enhance your response by asking questions that explore their current situation and any potential future needs related to junk removal. Phrasing like, 'What would happen if you did feel overwhelmed by junk?' could prompt them to think more critically about their situation. Also, while mentioning your BBB membership and ratings is great for building credibility, try to weave in a more direct connection to how your services can specifically benefit them right now, rather than relying solely on general statements. Overall, it feels a bit generic and could use more engagement and personalization.
Score: 4/10 - It has potential, but needs more curiosity and direct value exploration.

/ 10Question:
"If I decide to go with you, how quickly can you get everything removed?"
Answer:
We can be there same day. We come standard with a 2 man team. And get most jobs done in under an hour
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the prospect's concern about speed by highlighting the same-day service and the efficiency of a two-man team. However, it could benefit from a bit more personalization or engagement, such as asking if there’s a specific timeframe they need the service by, which would demonstrate curiosity and active listening. Additionally, the tone is straightforward but could be slightly more conversational to enhance rapport. Overall, it's a solid response but lacks a bit of warmth and engagement.

/ 10Question:
"I've got a tight timeline for this project; can you promise that you won't delay?"
Answer:
When is your deadline? We can start same day with a 2 man team. We will adjust our hours as needed to on time. We strive to finish early a day or two. That way if something comes up we still have a buffer to finish on time to keep you satisfied
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the customer's concern about the tight timeline by asking for their deadline and offering a same-day start option. It demonstrates an understanding of urgency and a commitment to customer satisfaction. However, while the tone is generally appropriate, it could be more reassuring by explicitly stating a commitment to meet the timeline rather than just promising to adjust hours. Additionally, it would benefit from a closing statement that reinforces the customer's decision to proceed with your service. Overall, it showcases a solution-focused approach with an emphasis on active listening and value exploration, but could improve in clarity and closing technique.

/ 10Question:
"What happens if I need support after the junk is removed?"
Answer:
You can reach out directly to me with our business line and our email address. We will be there for you in any event
Feedback:
The response addresses the customer's concern about support after junk removal by providing direct contact information, which is a good start. However, it lacks depth in explaining how support will be offered and what the customer can expect. It would be beneficial to elaborate on the types of support available (e.g., follow-up service, satisfaction guarantees, or other resources) to reinforce trust. Additionally, incorporating a closing technique to reassure the customer and encourage a commitment would strengthen the response. Overall, while there is some effective communication, it could be more thorough and engaging.

/ 10Question:
"I'm really confused about how your pricing works—can you clarify that for me?"
Answer:
Yes our pricing is volume based pricing that includes 30 minutes per quarter load.
Full load is $500.00 with 2 hours included and $100 an hour after 2 hours.
This services includes dump fees. Labor. Drive time. And mileage
We do on-site estimates to make sure you are not blindsided with a bill and are happy before we start
Feedback:
The response provides some clarity on the pricing structure, which is a good start. However, it could have been more effective by breaking down the pricing in simpler terms and addressing the confusion more directly. Additionally, there's a missed opportunity to engage the customer further by asking if they have specific items in mind that might influence the estimate or to clarify what part of the pricing is confusing. The tone is somewhat transactional rather than consultative. To improve, consider using a more conversational approach and ensure the customer feels heard and valued. A closing technique could also have been employed to encourage commitment. Overall, the response lacks a solution-focused approach and doesn't fully explore value for the customer.

/ 10Question:
"I need to get approval from my partner before moving forward; can you help me present the benefits to them?"
Answer:
For sure, are there any concerns your partner might attest to that we can clarify right now?
I want to bring full confidence to you that way your partner can feel confident about the service we provide
Feedback:
Your response does a good job of addressing the objection by opening a dialogue and showing willingness to clarify any concerns. You ask a thoughtful question that can lead to a better understanding of the partner's concerns, which is key in consultative selling. However, you could enhance your response by explicitly mentioning a few benefits of your service that you could present to the partner, making your offer more tangible. Overall, you maintain a supportive tone and express a genuine desire to help, which is great for building rapport. Keep up the good work!

"I'm just not sure if I need this service right now; I might want to wait until the end of the season."
Answer:
We will always be available whether you will need us today or next year, we offer same day service and are available via text/call/email/website
Feedback:
The response to the objection lacks depth and engagement. While it reassures the prospect of availability, it misses an opportunity to explore the underlying reasons for their hesitation. A more effective approach would involve asking questions to understand their specific concerns about timing and how your services might alleviate current issues they may be facing. For instance, asking if there are any upcoming events or changes in their space that might prompt the need for junk removal sooner could open the conversation for urgency. The tone is somewhat neutral and could benefit from being more personable to build rapport. Overall, it doesn't effectively convey the value of acting sooner rather than later.
Score: 4/10 for minimal engagement and lack of value exploration.
