Let's face it, the scores are telling a pretty clear story, and it's not a glowing review of your current performance. You're averaging barely a pass, and it shows in how you're approaching your conversations. You’ve got some solid instincts for gathering information and showing curiosity, which is great, but you're missing the mark on truly connecting with your prospects' needs. Your responses tend to lack depth, particularly when it comes to addressing specific customer concerns about value, support, and long-term investment. Instead of just listing features, it's crucial to weave in how those features solve real problems for the customer.
To really elevate your game, I suggest you dive into Solution Selling and Value Selling. These techniques will help you focus on identifying pain points and articulating the value of your offerings in a way that resonates with your prospects. You need to practice framing your responses around the customer's needs rather than just the product.
Remember, it's not just about what you say—it's about how you make your customer feel. This is your coaching moment: every interaction is a chance to build trust and show genuine interest in solving their problems. If you can shift your mindset to being a solution provider rather than just a seller, you'll start to see those scores rise. Now go out there and turn that curiosity into compelling conversations!
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"I'm not sure if this mattress offers enough support for my back, can you explain the benefits again?"
Answer:
Sure this mattress has pocketed coils that provide ample support and it also has several layers of memory foam that alleviate the pressure points in your back.
Feedback:
While your response mentions key features like pocketed coils and memory foam, it lacks depth in addressing the specific concern about back support. You could enhance your answer by explaining how these features work together to provide support, and perhaps include a question to confirm their understanding or ask about their specific needs. This would demonstrate active listening and curiosity about their concerns. Overall, the communication was clear but could benefit from a more solution-focused approach and engagement with the prospect's needs.

/ 10Question:
"I see a similar mattress at a lower price; what makes yours worth the extra cost?"
Answer:
Where did you see it? And how much was it?
Feedback:
Your response effectively seeks to gather more information about the competitor's offer, which is a good start. However, it lacks a direct answer to the customer's concern about the value of your mattress compared to the lower-priced option. You should also highlight specific features and benefits of your mattress that justify the higher price, such as quality materials, durability, or warranty. Consider asking more open-ended questions to encourage a discussion about their specific needs and preferences, which could help you tailor your pitch better. Overall, while you're showing curiosity, the response could be more solution-focused and value-driven.

/ 10Question:
"With my tight budget, how can I be sure that this mattress won't end up being a strain on my finances?"
Answer:
A good mattress really improves your life in a variety of ways. When you get good nights sleep it helps with all the other aspects of your life. It's an investment. You spend third of your life in bed so it's important to have a nice one that fits you
Feedback:
Your response emphasizes the importance of a good mattress and its impact on life quality, which is a positive approach. However, it lacks direct engagement with the customer's specific concern about budget strain. You should address how investing in a quality mattress can actually save money in the long run by reducing health issues or improving sleep quality, which increases productivity. Additionally, offering financing options or highlighting warranty details could reassure the customer about the investment. Consider asking questions to understand their budget constraints better and provide tailored solutions that align with their needs.

/ 10Question:
"Can you tell me how this mattress specifically addresses my sleep needs compared to the one I already have?"
Answer:
What mattress do you have and you are suppose to get new one every 8 to 10 years.
Feedback:
Your response seeks to gather information about the prospect's current mattress, which is a positive approach to understanding their needs. However, it lacks specificity in addressing the customer's concern about how your mattress will meet their sleep needs compared to their current one. Instead of just stating that they should replace their mattress every 8 to 10 years, you could ask more probing questions about their sleep issues or preferences. By doing so, you can position your mattress as a tailored solution. Additionally, consider highlighting features of your mattress that correlate with common sleep needs, such as firmness, temperature regulation, or support for different sleeping positions.
Overall, while your inquiry is a good start, it could be more solution-focused and demonstrate a deeper understanding of the customer's unique situation and needs.

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried about how long it will take to adjust to a new mattress; how do I know this one won't disrupt my sleep?"
Answer:
It take 2 to 3 weeks to fully adjust to a new mattress. Also it takes a little while to break it in but after month or two if still dont like it let me know. It will definitely be worth it in the long run, although when I got a new one. I slept like a baby the first night, its different for everyone
Feedback:
Your response provides some information about the adjustment period for a new mattress, which is helpful. However, it could be more structured and supportive to alleviate the prospect's concern. Instead of just stating the adjustment time, consider emphasizing the benefits of the mattress during the break-in period, such as gradual comfort and support improvement. Sharing success stories or testimonials about others who experienced a smooth transition could also enhance your credibility. Additionally, offering a proactive solution, like a trial period or a satisfaction guarantee, can significantly reassure the customer. Overall, while you address the adjustment period, your response lacks a strong, empathetic approach and could be more solution-focused.

/ 10Question:
"What happens if I don't like the mattress after I buy it? Is there a return policy?"
Answer:
Like I said it can take a few weeks to fully adjust but if really dont like it after month or two come back and see me and we can find you something different, you can exchange it
Feedback:
Your response addresses the concern about the return policy by offering an exchange if the customer doesn't like the mattress after a month or two. However, it lacks clarity and structure, which could lead to confusion. It would be beneficial to explicitly state the return policy details, such as the time frame for returns or exchanges, any conditions that apply, and whether there are any fees involved. Additionally, emphasizing the importance of customer satisfaction and the commitment to finding a suitable solution would enhance your approach. Consider incorporating a question to gauge the customer's feelings about the mattress and invite further discussion. Overall, this response needs more specific information and a customer-focused tone to effectively reassure the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"Can you assure me that this mattress will last long enough to justify the investment?"
Answer:
Yes all our mattresses have a 10 year warranty and we have been in business forever. We take care of our customers. Just need make sure their are no stains on the mattress so I highly suggest buy mattress protector
Feedback:
Your response effectively mentions the 10-year warranty, which is a strong selling point and addresses the customer's concern about longevity. However, simply stating that you have been in business a long time isn't very compelling. You should elaborate on the quality of the materials used in your mattresses that contribute to their durability, and perhaps share any customer testimonials or data that support the longevity of your products. Also, suggesting a mattress protector is a good addition, but it would help to explain how it contributes to the mattress's lifespan. Overall, while the warranty is important, your response could be more informative and persuasive if it included specific details about the mattress's quality and a more engaging tone.

/ 10Question:
"I need something that fits seamlessly into my lifestyle; how easy is it to care for this mattress?"
Answer:
It's very easy just have to rotate it every few months.
Feedback:
Your response provides a simple answer regarding the maintenance of the mattress by stating that it needs to be rotated every few months. However, it lacks detail that could enhance the customer's confidence in the ease of care. Consider elaborating on other care aspects, such as cleaning guidelines, the use of a mattress protector, and how these practices help prolong the mattress's lifespan. Additionally, you could ask questions about the customer's specific lifestyle to better understand their needs and reassure them how the mattress will fit seamlessly into their routine. Engaging them further could show that you value their lifestyle and are interested in offering a tailored solution. Overall, your response needs more depth and a more solution-focused approach.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve heard mixed reviews about your brand—how do I know I can trust this product?"
Answer:
We have been selling this brand for a really long time and have been really happy with them. I sleep on this brand and love it. Never going to keep everyone happy, there's always going to be people that complain.
Feedback:
Your response attempts to leverage your personal experience with the mattress brand, which can be a strong rapport-building strategy. However, it falls short in addressing the customer's concern about mixed reviews. To build trust, consider providing specific evidence such as customer testimonials, review statistics, or awards that highlight the quality of the brand. Acknowledging the existence of mixed reviews is important, but you should also explain how the brand addresses negative feedback or improves based on customer input. Additionally, inviting the customer to share specific concerns they might have could demonstrate active listening and help you tailor your response effectively. Overall, while your personal endorsement is valuable, the response needs more objective evidence and a customer-centric approach to reassure the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"What support do you offer after the sale in case I have any issues or questions about my mattress?"
Answer:
Call me anytime with any questions
Feedback:
Your response is a good starting point, as it invites the customer to reach out with any questions. However, it lacks detail and structure that could more effectively reassure the prospect about post-sale support. Consider implementing specifics such as offering an email or a customer service line, outlining the hours of availability, and explaining any additional resources, like online guides or FAQs, available for assistance. It would also help to emphasize your commitment to customer satisfaction and willingness to resolve any issues they may face. Overall, while you show openness to communication, your response needs more depth to build confidence in the support provided after the sale.
