Let's be real; your performance here is a wake-up call. With an average score of 5.1, you're flirting with mediocrity, and that's not where a salesperson like you should be. You have moments of potential, especially when you acknowledge customer concerns and show curiosity, but you’re dropping the ball with typos and vague responses that lack depth.
Your strongest demonstrated techniques lean towards active listening, which is great; you recognize customer concerns and attempt to engage. However, you consistently fail to follow up with probing questions or specific solutions, which keeps your responses from truly shining. The recurring grammatical errors and typos show a lack of attention to detail that can undermine your professionalism. You need to bring your A-game and focus on being solution-oriented.
To elevate your skills, I suggest you dive into Solution Selling. You need to get better at identifying and articulating how your product can meet specific customer needs. Pair that with Objection Handling Techniques to really address budget concerns and other objections head-on. This will not only give you confidence but also instill confidence in your prospects.
Here's your coaching moment: Sales is not just about what you say; it's about how you make the prospect feel. Start being more specific, more engaging, and above all, more professional. You have the foundation; now it’s time to build on it. Get out there and show them what you’re capable of!

Answer:
Lets talk about your last vehicle and what the issues or issues were that way we can make sure we address those right away to ensure that doesn't happen again.
Feedback:
The response does a decent job of acknowledging the prospect's concerns about previous vehicle issues. However, it could be improved by asking more specific follow-up questions to identify the exact problems faced with the last vehicle, showing genuine curiosity and active listening. Additionally, a clearer connection between addressing past issues and assuring the quality of the new vehicle could enhance the solution-focused approach. The spelling error ('Lets' should be 'Let's') also detracts from professionalism. Overall, while the intent is good, the execution lacks clarity and depth.

"I'm under pressure to make a decision quickly, but there are so many options; what makes yours stand out immediately?"

When it comes to me, my goal is simply to save you as much time as possible but making sure I understand your needs and finding you someting that aligns so you can get this wrapped up as soon as possible.
Feedback:
The response begins with a good open-ended question to uncover the reason behind the urgency, which shows curiosity and active listening. However, it lacks a direct answer to the prospect's question about what makes your vehicles stand out. Instead of focusing on the unique selling points or benefits of your offerings, the response meanders into generalities about saving time and understanding needs. Also, it contains several typos, such as 'aht' instead of 'that' and 'someting' instead of 'something,' which detracts from professionalism. More concise communication that highlights key differentiators of your vehicle options would strengthen your approach.

Feedback:
The response attempts to address the concern about integration with the team's workflow, which is a positive start. However, it lacks clarity and contains several typos, such as 'proccess' instead of 'process' and 'jeep' instead of 'keep'. It's important to clearly explain how the model specifically aligns with their workflow needs.

"There’s a lot of talk about electric vehicles in the market, and I’m worried we might be missing out; should I consider that instead?"
Answer:
Electric vehicles are gaining momentum in the market, but let me ask you a few questions to ensure you not missing out. What are your daily driving habits? Do you have at home charger at home or office? Do you have the free time find a charger and wait while it charges when you're on the road?
Sounds like you wont be missing out,the current selection is most ideal for your current situation.
Feedback:
The response starts well by acknowledging the rising popularity of electric vehicles, which shows awareness of market trends. However, it falls short in providing a clear recommendation or insight about the potential benefits of electric vehicles. The questions posed are relevant as they aim to gauge the prospect's suitability for EVs, displaying curiosity and encouraging discovery. Yet, there are grammatical errors such as "you not missing out" and "wont" instead of "won't," which affect professionalism. Additionally, the transition to concluding that the current selection is ideal feels abrupt and lacks supporting reasoning or evidence. Incorporating more specifics on why the current options are suitable compared to electric vehicles would enhance the value of the response, alongside correcting grammatical issues.

"I've heard mixed reviews about the maintenance costs of this model; can you clarify what I should expect?"
Answer:
I have seem those reviews also, seems like anything you look up it will always have mixed reviews. In my personal observation, i have not seen any negative maintenance cost that are out of the normal. One thing i could recommend is a pre-paid Maintenance plan, that way you pay today rate but your cover for five to seven years. How long do you think you will keep this one?
Feedback:
The response starts off fairly well by acknowledging the prospect's concerns about mixed reviews, which demonstrates active listening. However, it lacks specificity regarding what the maintenance costs typically are for the model in question, which is essential for addressing the prospect's inquiry clearly. While mentioning a pre-paid maintenance plan is a good suggestion, it could be strengthened by providing more detail about the typical maintenance costs associated with the vehicle. The phrase 'i have seem those reviews also' contains a grammatical error ('seem' should be 'seen'), and the entire response can come across as somewhat dismissive of the prospect's concerns. Providing more structured information about the model's reliability and any warranties or service packages could enhance the value of this response. Additionally, asking more open-ended questions about their past experiences with vehicle maintenance could help build rapport and facilitate a more collaborative discussion about their needs.

/ 10Question:
"With our current budget constraints, is there a way to negotiate better payment terms without risking quality?"
Answer:
To better understand what your asking, when it comes to your budget are you referring to short-term or
Long term? The current proposal is showing you the best overall savings for a long term budget since you will be paying it off in a shortern time frame saving you money on the interest rate. If you need to focus on the short term budget at the moment we can extend the loan a bit, to give you a smaller monthly payment. The good news on the longer term loan is there is no pre-payment penalty so when your budget allows you can pay more per month and still take advantage of some of the long-term savings.
Which makes the most sense to you at the moment?
Feedback:
The response starts with an attempt to clarify whether the prospect's focus is on short-term or long-term budget constraints, which demonstrates curiosity and a desire to understand their needs better. However, it lacks a direct acknowledgment of the concern about negotiating payment terms and does not fully address how quality will be maintained while accommodating the budget. The explanation regarding interest savings is a good point but could be clearer and more concise. Additionally, there are grammatical errors such as 'shortern' instead of 'shorter', which detracts from professionalism. It would be beneficial to highlight any specific features or services that ensure quality, even with adjusted payment terms. The closing question effectively invites the prospect to share their thoughts, promoting collaboration. Overall, this response could be improved by providing a more structured approach to addressing the objection and ensuring clear communication.

Feedback:
The response effectively acknowledges the prospect's concern about hidden costs, demonstrating empathy and understanding. By emphasizing transparency and committing to providing all information upfront, it addresses the objection directly. The open-ended question about the specific hidden costs from the previous purchase encourages discovery and shows genuine interest in understanding the prospect's past experiences. However, the response could be further enhanced by briefly outlining what kind of costs they typically include, thus reinforcing their commitment to transparency. The closing question is effective in inviting further discussion, making it collaborative.

"I’m also worried about how this will affect our team’s morale; what support can we expect post-purchase?"
Answer:
I understand the importance of morale and culture—they are top priorities for my team! The great news is that I have been with the company for seven years and have no plans to leave. You can easily reach me by phone, email, or text at any time.
When you or your team visits, you'll notice that our team remains consistent, so they'll start to recognize you by name.
Additionally, we offer mobile service, as well as pick-up and delivery options. Whatever you need, we are always willing to find a way to help!
Feedback:
The response effectively acknowledges the concern about team morale, demonstrating an understanding of its importance. Highlighting your long tenure with the company and your availability for communication is a strong way to build trust and reassure the prospect of your commitment. Additionally, mentioning the consistency of your team helps create a sense of familiarity and comfort for the prospect's team.
However, while your response does well to emphasize support availability, it could be strengthened by providing specific examples of how post-purchase support will be structured. For instance, discussing training, ongoing maintenance support, or customer service resources could further alleviate their concerns. Adding a question to engage the prospect about specific support needs or preferences could enhance the collaborative approach. Overall, the response is positive, but it could benefit from more detail and engagement.

/ 10Question:
"Can you assure me that this will meet our immediate needs, or should we consider a temporary solution while we look for other options?"
Answer:
Based on your needs we discussed I'm confident that this is the best solution for you. I would suggest that we don't look for a temporary solution as those always seem to cost more time and money and become a hassle.
Lets get this wrapped up for you now so you now!
Feedback:
The response begins with a confident assertion that the proposed solution is suitable for the prospect's needs, which is a good start. However, it lacks a clear explanation of how this solution specifically meets their immediate needs, which would provide more reassurance. Additionally, dismissing the idea of a temporary solution without exploring the prospect's concerns about it may come off as somewhat prescriptive rather than collaborative. The suggestion that temporary solutions are a hassle could be more tactfully expressed; instead, emphasizing the benefits of choosing the current solution would be more effective. Furthermore, the response contains a grammatical error ('you now' instead of 'you know') which diminishes professionalism. A closing question inviting the prospect to share their thoughts or concerns could enhance engagement and demonstrate active listening. Overall, this response could be improved by focusing more on exploring the value of the proposed solution and addressing the prospect's concerns directly.
