Let's be real here. You’ve got a lot of room for improvement, and your recent performance just isn’t cutting it. You keep missing the mark by neglecting crucial emotional factors and failing to connect with your prospects on their concerns. Your responses lack depth, curiosity, and the ability to build rapport, which are vital in sales. You need to acknowledge your prospects' fears about long-term relationships, budget constraints, and ROI instead of rushing to your solutions. It’s like you’re jumping into a pool without checking for water first—dangerous and ineffective.
You consistently overlook the importance of engaging with your prospects’ specific worries. Instead of addressing their concerns directly, you sidestep them, which leaves them feeling unheard and unvalued. This is a major red flag. You need to develop your consultative and relationship-selling techniques to truly understand and address your prospects' needs.
Focus on mastering the art of storytelling in sales and objection handling techniques. These skills can transform your approach from transactional to consultative, allowing you to foster deeper connections and respond thoughtfully to objections.
Here’s your coaching moment: Remember, sales isn’t just about what you sell; it’s about how you make your prospects feel. Make them feel heard, understood, and valued. If you nail this, you’ll turn those scores around in no time. Don’t just think about closing a deal—think about creating a relationship.
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"We have a long-standing relationship with our current property management provider, and it's hard to justify a switch right now."
Answer:
What could we do better for you, what is your occupancy rate? We have a proven strategy to make it better.
Feedback:
The response fails to effectively address the prospect's concern about the long-standing relationship, which is a significant emotional factor in their decision-making. Instead of acknowledging the strength of that relationship, the salesperson jumps to questions without demonstrating understanding or value. A more effective approach would involve recognizing the current provider's strengths and then presenting a compelling reason why switching could be beneficial, perhaps by highlighting unique aspects of your service or previous successful transitions. Additionally, it lacks a clear closing technique or an exploration of how your solutions align with the prospect's needs, showing limited curiosity and discovery.

/ 10Question:
"Our budget is already allocated for the fiscal year, and I need to find a way to fit this into our existing plans."
Answer:
You currently have property management in your budget, with a better occupancy rate, your budget would already be covered.
Feedback:
The response does not adequately address the prospect's concern about budget allocation for the fiscal year. While it attempts to connect property management to potential savings through a better occupancy rate, it lacks a clear exploration of the prospect's financial constraints. A stronger approach would have involved acknowledging the budget limitations first, then exploring how your solutions could create value or savings that justify the expense. Additionally, it would be beneficial to ask open-ended questions to discover if there are any areas within the budget where adjustments could be made, and to discuss the long-term financial benefits of switching providers. Overall, the response is too assertive and lacks the necessary detail and curiosity.

/ 10Question:
"How can we be sure your solutions will provide a better ROI than our current setup, which has been working for us?"
Answer:
I have a proven track record with several owners and data to back it up.
Feedback:
The response is overly simplistic and does not adequately engage with the prospect's concern about ROI. While mentioning a proven track record is a step in the right direction, it fails to provide any specific examples or data that would illustrate how your solutions can deliver a better ROI compared to their current provider. A more effective approach would involve discussing specific metrics or case studies demonstrating your previous successes. Additionally, acknowledging the prospect's existing setup and exploring their current ROI would show greater curiosity and understanding. The response lacks a collaborative tone and does not invite further discussion or questions from the prospect, missing an opportunity to deepen engagement and build rapport.

/ 10Question:
"I'm concerned about the time and resources required for implementation, especially with our tight deadlines."
Answer:
Leave that up to me, the transition
will be flawless. We can work with your current leasing software and start tomorrow.
Feedback:
The response dismisses the prospect's valid concern about time and resources by assuring them that the transition will be flawless without providing specific details. While offering to work with the current leasing software shows some adaptability, it lacks an acknowledgment of the prospect's tight deadlines and potential challenges during the transition. A more effective response would involve addressing the concern directly, outlining a clear implementation plan that minimizes disruption, and perhaps discussing how previous clients have successfully navigated similar transitions. Additionally, inviting the prospect to express their specific concerns would demonstrate active listening and interest in collaboration.

/ 10Question:
"Our stakeholders need to be completely aligned on this decision, and I foresee potential pushback from them."
Answer:
Our occupancy rates prove everything. We are hands on and ready to get to work. Increased occupancy increases ROI.
Feedback:
The response fails to adequately address the prospect's concern about stakeholder alignment and potential pushback. While mentioning occupancy rates and ROI is relevant, it does not engage with the prospect's specific issue of alignment among stakeholders. A more effective approach would involve acknowledging the importance of stakeholder consensus and offering strategies to facilitate discussions or present information that could help mitigate concerns. Additionally, fostering a collaborative dialogue by asking how you can help support the stakeholders’ decision-making process would demonstrate active listening and a commitment to partnership. Overall, the response lacks depth and curiosity regarding the prospect's situation.

/ 10Question:
"I've heard mixed reviews about your company’s ability to provide ongoing support; can you clarify your support structure?"
Answer:
Our business structure is proven to provide the best occupancy rates in the business. We have a process that works and plan to implement that with you and your stakeholders.
Feedback:
The response fails to directly address the prospect's concern about ongoing support and instead focuses on occupancy rates, which is not relevant to the question about support structure. A more effective approach would have been to provide specific details about your company's support system, including how it operates, what resources are available, and examples of successful support experiences with other clients. This would demonstrate an understanding of the prospect's needs and build trust. Additionally, inviting further questions about the support structure could enhance engagement and show a willingness to collaborate. Overall, the response lacks clarity and relevance to the objection raised.

/ 10Question:
"Given the current economic climate, we are hesitant to commit to any new expenses without clear, measurable outcomes."
Answer:
As we discussed earlier, property management is already in the budget. We will improve your occupancy rates across the board and reduce overall expenses by keeping units full, and turning units in an efficient and timely fashion.
Feedback:
The response attempts to reaffirm that property management is part of the existing budget, which is a good start. However, it fails to address the prospect's primary concern regarding the current economic climate and their hesitation to incur new expenses. A more effective approach would involve acknowledging the economic uncertainty and discussing specific metrics or case studies that demonstrate clear, measurable outcomes from your services. This could help reassure the prospect about the value of the investment. Additionally, framing the conversation around how your solutions can lead to tangible cost savings or enhanced revenue could further demonstrate the value. Overall, while the response shows an understanding of budget considerations, it lacks a strong connection to the immediate concern about economic risk and does not engage in a deeper exploration of measurable outcomes.

/ 10Question:
"There's a lot of uncertainty in the market right now; how can you guarantee your service will still be valuable in a year?"
Answer:
Multi family is currently the main housing source of the middle to low income population, due to mortgage rates people are unable to buy houses. Multi family is a booming industry, even as rates lower people still cannot afford a house. We are unstoppable renting apartments in this market.
Feedback:
The response fails to directly address the prospect's concern about market uncertainty and the long-term value of the service being offered. While it attempts to highlight the strength and resilience of the multifamily housing market, it does not provide concrete assurances or examples about how your services specifically will add value over the next year. A more effective response would include discussing how your company has adapted to market changes in the past or any strategic initiatives in place that ensure continued service value. Moreover, engaging with the prospect's concerns about their specific situation or offering metrics that demonstrate past performance could enhance credibility and build trust. Overall, this response lacks a direct connection to the objection raised and misses an opportunity for deeper dialogue.

/ 10Question:
"We've had a previous vendor implementation that failed to meet expectations; what makes your approach different?"
Answer:
Our proven process works, let me share data from the 426 units I currently manage. We keep apartments occupied and can turn units with in 24 to 48 hours. The transition is easy, we can start tomorrow.
Feedback:
While the response references a proven process and offers data from managed units, it fails to adequately address the specific concern about the previous vendor's implementation. The prospect is looking for reassurance and clarity on what differentiates your approach from past experiences. Instead of solely focusing on operational aspects, it would be more effective to discuss specific strategies you employ to ensure successful implementations, such as communication protocols, training, and ongoing support. Additionally, inviting the prospect to share their past challenges could demonstrate active listening and a willingness to collaborate in finding solutions. Overall, this response lacks the necessary depth and engagement to build trust effectively.

/ 10Question:
"I need more time to assess whether our needs align with your proposed solutions; this project cannot be rushed."
Answer:
Ok, with your current occupancy rates, I feel like you don’t have any time to waste. We can make an impact starting in day one.
I will send over the contract for your review. Thank you does thus incredible opportunity!
Feedback:
The response fails to adequately address the prospect's request for more time to assess alignment with your solutions. Instead of acknowledging their need for careful consideration, the response comes off as pushy and dismissive. A stronger approach would involve validating their concern about taking time for assessment and asking open-ended questions to understand their specific needs better. Offering to schedule a follow-up discussion or providing additional resources for their review would demonstrate respect for the prospect's decision-making process. Additionally, the closing statement lacks professionalism and clarity, which could potentially undermine the rapport you should be building. Overall, the response shows limited curiosity and understanding of the prospect's perspective.
