It's clear you’ve got some work to do, and I’m not here to sugarcoat it. Your average score of 4.5 indicates that your responses lack depth and understanding of customer needs. You need to elevate your game from just checking boxes to truly connecting with prospects. Your attempts show potential, but they often miss the mark by failing to empathize or provide tailored solutions.
You exhibit a willingness to share benefits, but too often you jump straight to solutions without addressing concerns first. This tendency leads to missed opportunities for deeper engagement and trust-building. You also need to focus on active listening and consultative selling. Rather than throwing out information, ask open-ended questions that allow customers to express their needs.
Consider diving deeper into the SPIN Selling techniques and the Consultative Selling approach. These frameworks will help you explore Situation and Problem aspects more thoroughly while providing tailored solutions that resonate with your prospects.
Remember this: selling is not just about the product; it’s about understanding the customer’s world. Build that connection, and the sales will follow. Your 'aha' moment is this: every conversation with a prospect is an opportunity to listen, learn, and lead them to a solution that genuinely fits their needs. Embrace that mindset, and watch your performance soar.
Question Breakdown

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried about how this will fit into my existing budget and if it will stretch my finances too much."
Answer:
what is your budget?
Feedback:
The response lacks depth and fails to address the customer's concern comprehensively. Simply asking for the budget does not demonstrate empathy towards their financial worries or showcase an understanding of their situation. A more effective approach would involve exploring their budget constraints while providing reassurance about the value and potential savings your solution offers. Additionally, emphasizing a solution-focused discussion would help alleviate their concerns.
Consider adding questions that delve deeper into their budget allocation and how your product could fit within it, along with examples of cost savings or financial benefits.

/ 10Question:
"Can you guarantee that this won't disrupt my current team's workflow?"
Answer:
yes, we have a 7 year warranty for anything that can break in the future
Feedback:
The response does not effectively address the prospect's concern about workflow disruption. A warranty is irrelevant to their question and does not demonstrate an understanding of their needs. Instead, a better approach would be to reassure the prospect by discussing how your solution is designed to integrate smoothly with existing processes. You could also offer to provide case studies or testimonials that highlight successful implementations without workflow interruption. This response should focus on collaboration, active listening, and providing value through reassurance and insight into the product's impact on their operations.

/ 10Question:
"I need to understand how this will actually save me money in the long run, can you break that down for me?"
Answer:
Yes, come with me and I can show you on paper how you can save money by buying instead of renting over 12 months
Feedback:
The response shows a willingness to provide a breakdown of potential savings, which is a positive step. However, it lacks detail and does not directly address the prospect's need for a clear and structured explanation of the financial benefits. Instead of just offering to show them, it would be more effective to first ask about their current spending on renting and then compare it to the costs and benefits of buying. This would demonstrate active listening and a consultative approach. Additionally, emphasizing specific examples or case studies would help build credibility and trust in the value of your solution.

/ 10Question:
"What happens if my needs change after I've made this investment?"
Answer:
We have an option to trade in your home if your needs change later. The process is similar to the home buying experience and you can work with me again. I will send out a site evaluator and your home will be appraised and then we can work on the trade-in or I can pair you with a Real Estate agent to sell your home later. Also, our homes appreciate so you will most likely make more money in the future.
Feedback:
The response presents a relevant solution to the prospect's concern about changing needs by mentioning the trade-in option, which is a positive aspect. However, it lacks clarity and a structured approach. It would be more effective to first empathize with the potential uncertainty of the prospect's needs, then outline the trade-in process more clearly while emphasizing the benefits of working with you again. Additionally, discussing the appreciation of homes could be expanded upon to demonstrate the potential financial advantages of the investment. Incorporating a consultative tone and inviting further questions could enhance engagement and build rapport.

/ 10Question:
"I have a reliable vendor already; what makes your service a better choice for me?"
Answer:
Our service technicians are extremely fast, having your home set up or serviced in less than 45 days. This is better than the average, which is 90 days.
Feedback:
The response provides a specific benefit regarding speed, which is a positive aspect. However, it does not directly address the prospect's concern about their current vendor or differentiate your service in a meaningful way. A more effective approach would involve understanding what value the current vendor provides and highlighting unique aspects of your service—such as quality, customer support, or pricing—that would persuade the prospect to consider switching. Additionally, asking questions that delve into their experience with the current vendor could create an opportunity to explore gaps that your service can fill. Overall, the response should be more solution-oriented and engage the prospect in a dialogue about their needs and expectations.

/ 10Question:
"How do you ensure that my data will be kept secure?"
Answer:
Our cloud systems are backed by Montec Security systems. These are monitored 24/7. If you are still concerned, I have an additional security package that I can offer, which costs $25 a month. Would you like me to add that to your contract?
Feedback:
The response mentions the backing of Montec Security systems and 24/7 monitoring, which are positive points regarding data security. However, it lacks a thorough explanation of how these systems work and why they are effective. Instead of jumping to an additional security package offer, it would have been more effective to first acknowledge the importance of data security in the customer's mind and provide more details on the specific security measures in place. Additionally, asking open-ended questions about their specific concerns with data security or any previous experiences could enhance engagement and demonstrate a consultative approach. Overall, the response could benefit from more empathy and detailed information.

/ 10Question:
"I'm not convinced this aligns with my current lifestyle choices; how can you prove otherwise?"
Answer:
You told me your lifestyle choice was to live in a new home due to you being homeless and having to currently live with your sister. You walked through the Sienna home and found it was what you could afford and was your style. I believe when this home is set up on your property, you are going to find peace of mind. Let's go into the Sienna and you can tell me any concerns that you may as we go through each bedroom. Would you like to take the measurements to make sure it will fit your lifestyle?
Feedback:
The response demonstrates an attempt to connect with the prospect's personal situation by referencing their previous conversation about lifestyle choices. This is a good approach as it shows active listening and understanding of their needs. However, it could benefit from more structured reassurance that ties directly into how the Sienna home meets their lifestyle requirements beyond just the affordability aspect. Rather than jumping straight into a walkthrough, it would be more effective to first ask open-ended questions about their specific lifestyle concerns and what features they are looking for in a new home. This would not only engage the prospect further but also allow you to tailor your presentation to their unique needs. Overall, while the approach is somewhat consultative, it lacks clarity in addressing the implication of their lifestyle choices and how your offering aligns with them.

/ 10Question:
"Can you provide examples of how your solution has successfully worked for businesses similar to mine?"
Answer:
Absolutely, come with me and let me show you our satisfied customer reviews. Actually, just for you, Iet's get my last customer on the phone and let him tell you in person how our product has worked for him
Feedback:
The response shows enthusiasm and a willingness to provide proof of success, which is positive. However, it could be improved by first acknowledging the importance of case studies and testimonials to the prospect. Instead of immediately jumping to a phone call, a more structured approach would include summarizing key achievements or metrics from similar businesses before offering to connect them with a customer. This would help build credibility and trust. Additionally, asking the prospect about specific challenges they face could tailor the examples to their needs, making the conversation more relevant and engaging.

/ 10Question:
"My team has a lot on their plate right now; how much time will we need to dedicate to onboarding?"
Answer:
Our onboarding time will not take long at all. I'm going to help you every step of the way to make sure you can integrate quickly. Let's get a list of your team members and I can go ahead and work each one before we get to the team portion of onboarding.
Feedback:
The response provides reassurance regarding the onboarding process being quick, which is a positive start. However, it lacks specific details about the estimated time commitment required for onboarding. A more effective approach would include providing a clear timeframe for the onboarding process, as well as outlining the specific steps involved. This will help set realistic expectations and demonstrate your understanding of their busy schedule. Additionally, rather than jumping straight into logistics, it would be beneficial to first empathize with their current workload and ask about any specific concerns they have regarding onboarding. This would enhance the consultative approach and build rapport with the prospect.

/ 10Question:
"What if I don’t see the immediate benefits after implementing this?"
Answer:
Then we can do an upgrade if feel you need more home for your family. Would you like to see what an upgrade would look in your contract?
Feedback:
The response lacks a strong connection to the prospect's concern about not seeing immediate benefits, as it jumps straight to a potential upgrade without first addressing the issue at hand. A more effective approach would involve acknowledging the prospect's concern and discussing how the product typically shows value over time, possibly through examples or case studies. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to ask questions to explore the prospect's expectations and what specific benefits they are looking for. This would provide a better framework for demonstrating value and aligning your offering with their needs.
