Let's cut to the chase: your performance is below par, and it shows. The average score of 3.7 tells a story of missed opportunities and a lack of engagement. You have a decent grasp of empathy—acknowledging budget concerns and past experiences—but that's just scratching the surface. Each response reveals a consistent pattern of superficial engagement; you're skimming the surface instead of diving deep into the prospect's specific needs and fears. You're not asking the right questions to unlock insights that can drive valuable conversations.
To elevate your game, I suggest you dive into SPIN Selling and Consultative Selling. These techniques will help you frame your conversations around the Situation, Problem, Implication, and Need-Payoff questions, while also positioning you as a trusted advisor. Focus on really understanding what your prospects are dealing with, rather than just offering surface-level reassurances.
Remember this: the magic happens when you dig deep. Ask thoughtful questions, listen actively, and explore the true value your solutions can provide. You're not just selling a product; you're solving a problem and building a relationship. Embrace curiosity, and your prospects will feel heard and understood, which is the first step to closing the deal. Now, get in there and start turning those insights into opportunities.

Your response attempts to acknowledge the prospect's concerns about operational disruption during installation, which is a good start. However, it lacks detail and reassurance. Instead of just stating that there will be minimal interference, you should outline specific strategies or methods you implement to ensure a smooth installation process. Sharing a timeline, explaining your team's experience in managing these situations, or offering to create a customized installation plan can enhance your credibility. Additionally, using a more engaging tone and asking if there are specific times or concerns they have about the installation could foster a collaborative approach and build rapport. Overall, while you address the concern, your response needs more depth and proactive engagement.

Additionally, discussing your team's qualifications and history of successful projects can help build credibility. Overall, while you show some understanding, your response needs more depth and concrete reassurances to effectively foster trust.

Your response honestly acknowledges the uncertainty of guaranteeing the roofing solution's permanence, which is commendable. However, it misses an opportunity to provide more reassurance about the quality of the materials and installation processes that contribute to longevity. Instead of just stating you will be there until the issue is corrected, consider explaining the warranties or guarantees your company offers, as well as the steps you take to ensure the roof lasts as long as possible. You could also explore the reasons behind the concern and ask what specific expectations the customer has for durability.

Discussing how you conduct thorough assessments to minimize surprises and emphasizing your commitment to keeping the client informed can build trust. Additionally, asking the prospect if they have any specific concerns regarding potential costs would demonstrate curiosity and active listening. Overall, while you attempt to alleviate their concern, your response could be more comprehensive and reassuring.

Cordley the supply companies give us 7 to 10% increases so by the end of the year, your project could potentially be 30 to 40% more expensive I think finances are a hindrance. Maybe we should explore financing
Feedback:
Your response starts by acknowledging the prospect's concern about the economic climate, which is a good approach. However, it could be more effective if you framed your points in a way that actively engages the prospect. Instead of just stating the potential price increases, consider asking questions to explore their specific financial situation and how it might impact their decision-making. Additionally, while mentioning financing options is a positive step, providing concrete examples of how financing could ease their burden and discussing the benefits of moving forward now could strengthen your argument. Overall, while you address the objection, the message could benefit from a more collaborative tone and deeper exploration of the prospect's needs and concerns.

While you assert that you will maintain high installation standards, you do not explore the customer's specific needs or concerns regarding cost and quality. It would be beneficial to ask questions to understand their budget constraints and what aspects of quality are most important to them. Additionally, discussing alternative materials or solutions that might fit their budget while still delivering value would enhance your response. Overall, your message lacks depth, curiosity, and a focus on solutions that align with the customer's objectives.
