Let’s get real: your performance is falling short. An average score of 3.1 is a clear signal that you need to dig deep and rethink your approach. You’re struggling with several key areas, particularly in value communication, empathy, and engagement. It’s not enough to dismiss objections or brush off concerns; you need to actively listen and respond in a way that builds trust and rapport.
Your responses often come off as defensive and dismissive, which isn’t going to win you any customers. You’re missing the mark when it comes to showcasing your expertise or the unique value of your services. Instead of providing detailed insights or examples, you tend to generalize or deflect. This approach does nothing to reassure prospects and can leave them feeling undervalued.
To turn this around, focus on honing your consultative selling skills. You need to engage in active listening and ask open-ended questions that draw out your prospects’ specific needs. This will not only help you understand their concerns better but also allow you to tailor your responses to address those concerns directly. Practicing the SPIN Selling technique could be particularly beneficial, as it emphasizes understanding the Situation, Problem, Implication, and Need-Payoff for your customers.
Remember, each interaction is an opportunity to build trust and demonstrate your value. Treat every objection as a chance to engage, not deflect. Embrace the discomfort of these conversations and turn them into meaningful dialogues. Your potential to succeed is there, but it requires a shift in mindset and approach.
Coaching moment: Every prospect has a unique story and a set of concerns. Your job is to listen, understand, and respond with empathy and tailored solutions. Don’t just sell; connect.

/ 10Question:
"I'm not sure if your remodeling services offer enough value compared to what the competition offers."
Answer:
There is no competition for our services. We raise the bar every single day.
Feedback:
The response lacks depth and fails to address the customer's concern about value compared to competitors. Simply claiming there's no competition does not help the prospect understand why your services are superior. To effectively handle this objection, you should provide specific examples of how your services create added value, perhaps including unique features, customer testimonials, or measurable outcomes. Additionally, it's important to acknowledge the prospect's perspective and ask questions to uncover their specific needs. Overall, this response comes off as dismissive rather than engaging.
Consider a more solution-focused approach, such as: 'I understand your concerns. Can you share what specific aspects of value you're looking for? We pride ourselves on our quality and customer satisfaction, and I'd love to show you how we've helped others like you.'

"How can I be confident that your team has the necessary expertise to handle my project effectively?"
Answer:
Look at our social media and call any of our references were the only one that do professional celebrities around here every single day
Feedback:
The response lacks professionalism and doesn't adequately address the prospect's concern about expertise. Instead of providing a confident assurance or highlighting specific qualifications, it deflects to social media and references without offering detailed insights into the team's skills or experience. A more effective response would involve sharing specific examples of past projects, certifications, or testimonials that demonstrate expertise, along with a more engaging and reassuring tone. This response also misses an opportunity for curiosity and discovery by not asking any follow-up questions to understand the prospect's specific needs better.
Overall, this response could be improved significantly to build trust and confidence in the remodeling team's capabilities.

"The timing for this project feels off; I'm concerned about potential delays during the busy season."
Answer:
Why are you worried about time? You were late to come meet me when I was at your house. Could you imagine if I did that how you feel? We do a full detailed schedule prior to any job starting with built-in times that we schedule our project managers to meet
Feedback:
The response fails to effectively address the customer's concern about timing and potential delays. Instead of empathizing with the prospect's worries, the salesperson confronts them about their own tardiness, which can come off as defensive and unprofessional. This approach lacks the curiosity and discovery aspect, as it does not ask open-ended questions to understand the customer's specific fears. Additionally, the response does not clearly communicate the solution to the timing concern or provide a reassuring closing technique. Overall, this response misses the mark in building rapport and engaging collaboratively with the prospect.

"I’ve had a bad experience with a contractor before; how can I trust that you won't let me down?"
Answer:
Look at my bank account and then look at their end of story
Feedback:
This response falls flat and lacks professionalism. It doesn’t address the customer's concern about trust and past experiences. Instead, it comes off as dismissive and defensive. A better approach would be to acknowledge their concern, share relevant credentials or customer testimonials, and offer a clear value proposition that reassures them of your reliability. You could also ask questions to understand their specific fears better. Overall, this response doesn’t build rapport or trust, which are critical in the remodeling industry.

/ 10Question:
"Your pricing seems a bit high compared to other options I've looked at; can you break down the value I’ll get?"
Answer:
if you’re looking for the cheapest we’re definitely not it. We’re right there in the middle as far as pricing, but we’re the best as far as value we bring more products and services to market that work for a lifetime. Therefore we’re able to offer our pricing at a great discount compared to others.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges that the pricing is not the lowest, which is a good start, but it lacks a clear breakdown of the value that justifies the higher price. It doesn't effectively address the prospect's request for specific value details and may come across as dismissive of their concern. A more effective response would have included a comparison of the quality and longevity of the products offered, emphasizing unique features or services that differentiate your offering. Additionally, it would benefit from a more consultative tone that invites further discussion and questions from the prospect to explore their specific needs. Overall, the response was not solution-focused or collaborative enough to engage the prospect meaningfully.

"I'm currently happy with my existing contractor, so why should I switch to your services?"
Answer:
if you’re happy with your Contractor keep them. When you need only the best call us.
Feedback:
The response lacks effectiveness in addressing the concern. It comes off as dismissive rather than engaging the prospect in a conversation about their current satisfaction and exploring the potential for improvement. There’s no clear communication of value or a solution-focused approach. Instead of challenging the prospect's thinking, it simply states to stay with their contractor, which doesn’t encourage further discussion or curiosity about your services. A more consultative and collaborative approach would have been beneficial here.

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried that the changes needed for this remodeling will disrupt our daily life too much; how do you handle that?"
Answer:
Call project managers do a pre-scope and a on-site job visit prior to going through any of our installations to ensure that we are timely, not in your way, and do a broom suite to make sure the job is cleaned up before we walk out every single day
Feedback:
The response addresses the concern about disruption by highlighting the proactive measures taken by project managers, which is a good start. However, it could be improved by incorporating empathy towards the prospect's worries and providing more detail about how these measures specifically minimize disruption. Additionally, asking a follow-up question to gauge their specific concerns further could enhance the discovery process. Overall, while the response is clear and solution-focused, it lacks a bit of warmth and engagement that would help build rapport.
Score: 6

/ 10Question:
"Could you explain how your post-purchase support works if I encounter issues after the job is done?"
Answer:
Yes we have a whole program built into our CRM. It’s called Buildertrend where you log into your job you could ask questions at any time we will get back to you promptly through the office and our project manager.
Feedback:
The response provides a basic explanation of the post-purchase support system, mentioning the use of Buildertrend for communication. However, it lacks depth in addressing the customer's concern fully. It could have been more effective by explaining how quickly they respond, what specific support options are available, or how Buildertrend enhances the customer experience. There was no attempt to engage the prospect further through questions or to build rapport, which is crucial in a relationship-driven industry like remodeling. The communication was clear, but it lacked a friendly and reassuring tone that might ease the customer's potential anxiety about post-project issues. Overall, it misses on showcasing the value of the support system comprehensively.
Score: 5/10

"Given the current economic climate, I’m hesitant to commit to a project that might strain my budget."
Answer:
All I could tell you is all of our customers have no problem, putting money into their homes because they want to enjoy their homes every single day.
Feedback:
The response lacks effectiveness in addressing the prospect's specific concern about the economic climate and budget strain. While it attempts to generalize customer sentiments, it does not engage with the prospect's unique situation or offer any concrete solutions or reassurances. The tone is somewhat dismissive, which can alienate the prospect rather than build rapport. A better approach would have been to acknowledge the economic concern, explore the prospect's budget further, and perhaps suggest phased remodeling or financing options. Overall, the response misses the mark on active listening and curiosity.
To improve, consider using a consultative approach by asking questions about their budget and timeline, and perhaps share stories of how other clients successfully navigated similar concerns. This would demonstrate empathy and create a more collaborative discussion.

"I need time to discuss this with my partner; can you send me more information to help with that conversation?"
Answer:
That wouldn’t happen in our case we make sure both decision makers are present. We avoid one leggers
Feedback:
The response comes off as dismissive and lacks empathy for the prospect's situation. While it's important to have both decision-makers involved, the tone could have been more collaborative and understanding. Instead of stating that it wouldn't happen, a better approach would be to acknowledge the need for discussion and suggest a follow-up meeting that includes both partners. This would demonstrate flexibility and respect for the prospect's process. Additionally, this response misses an opportunity to explore the value of having a conversation with both decision-makers present and could have included a question to understand more about their decision-making process.
