Let’s get real—your performance is falling short of what you’re capable of. An average score of 3.6 is a wake-up call that you need to step it up. It’s clear that you understand the importance of addressing customer concerns, but your responses often miss the mark. You tend to provide vague reassurances without diving deep into the specifics that would really resonate with the prospect. This isn’t just about giving them information; it’s about connecting and engaging in a way that makes them feel heard and valued.
Your strongest technique seems to be the ability to offer solutions, like allowing prospects to take samples home. However, you need to polish your delivery and focus on active listening. There’s a pattern of lacking detail and failing to ask the right questions that could guide the conversation toward a more meaningful dialogue.
To move forward, I suggest you study the Consultative Selling and Objection Handling Techniques. These will help you not only understand your prospects better but also provide the specific reassurance they need to feel comfortable moving forward.
Remember, every interaction is an opportunity to build trust and demonstrate your knowledge. Engage with your prospects; ask about their specific concerns and preferences. This isn’t just about selling a product; it’s about building a relationship. That’s your key takeaway—focus on building rapport and trust through detailed, empathetic responses. That’s how you turn a ‘no’ into a ‘yes.’ It’s time to elevate your game!

/ 10Question:
"I'm worried about how this will fit within my budget after the monthly payments start piling up."
Answer:
It will pay off in the longer run because the quality will last 24 years
Feedback:
The response fails to directly address the prospect's concern about budget and monthly payments. While mentioning long-term value is important, it overlooks the immediate financial apprehensions. It's crucial to provide specific reassurance about affordability, such as discussing financing options or budget-friendly plans. Additionally, no questions were asked to further explore the prospect's budget situation or concerns, missing an opportunity for active listening and collaborative discovery.
Overall, the answer lacks clarity and fails to engage with the prospect's perspective effectively.

/ 10Question:
"How do I know this flooring will actually hold up for years without needing replacement?"
Answer:
Because it is warrantied and if you follow the maintenance instructions and protect your investment, you won't have an issue
Feedback:
While mentioning the warranty is a good start, the response lacks depth in addressing the prospect's concern about durability. It would be more effective to provide specific evidence or examples of the flooring's performance over time, such as testimonials or case studies. Additionally, the answer could have included a more detailed explanation of what the maintenance instructions involve and how they contribute to the longevity of the flooring. Asking the prospect if they have any particular concerns regarding durability could also enhance engagement and demonstrate active listening.

"What if the installation process disrupts my daily life too much?"
Answer:
You should always plan and schedule accordingly to be prepared
Feedback:
The response lacks empathy and fails to directly address the prospect's concern about potential disruption during installation. While suggesting planning and scheduling is a step in the right direction, it does not provide reassurance or solutions to mitigate the impact on daily life. It would be beneficial to discuss specific strategies, such as flexible installation times, quick installation methods, or minimizing disruption to key areas of the home. Additionally, asking the prospect about their daily routine and any specific concerns they have would demonstrate active listening and a more consultative approach.

/ 10Question:
"Will my partner be on board with this choice, or do I need to convince them?"
Answer:
You need to work together to make the decision so there are no issues
Feedback:
The response is vague and does not adequately address the prospect's concern about their partner's approval. While suggesting collaboration is a positive approach, it lacks specificity and fails to engage the prospect in a meaningful way. It would be more effective to ask open-ended questions to understand the prospect's partner's preferences or concerns and offer strategies to facilitate the discussion, such as highlighting the benefits of the flooring that may appeal to both parties. This would demonstrate active listening and a more consultative selling approach.

/ 10Question:
"Are there hidden costs I need to be aware of, like maintenance or repairs?"
Answer:
Nope. Just normal maintenance with recommend ed cleaners
Feedback:
The response is dismissive and fails to thoroughly address the prospect's concern about hidden costs. Simply stating 'nope' does not provide enough reassurance or transparency, which is crucial in building trust with the customer. It would be more effective to clearly outline what normal maintenance entails and potentially highlight any costs associated with it. Additionally, offering to provide a detailed breakdown of potential costs or suggesting a follow-up conversation to discuss this further would demonstrate active listening and a more consultative approach. Overall, the lack of detail and engagement diminishes the effectiveness of the response.

/ 10Question:
"How can I be certain the color and texture will match my existing decor?"
Answer:
Because i am going to let you take the sample home and put it next to all.of that and look at it under your lighting
Feedback:
This response effectively addresses the prospect's concern by offering a practical solution—allowing them to take a sample home. However, the communication lacks polish due to grammatical issues and informal phrasing, which could undermine professionalism. It would further benefit from asking the prospect about their specific decor style or preferences to enhance engagement and show active listening. A more collaborative tone could reinforce trust and relationship-building.
Overall, while the solution provides an opportunity for the prospect to assess compatibility, it could be improved through clearer communication and curiosity about their needs.

/ 10Question:
"Does this flooring meet any industry regulations or standards for safety?"
Answer:
It will meet all the strict standards the U.S. require. Mainly California standards which are the most strict
Feedback:
The response effectively addresses the prospect's concern by stating that the flooring meets strict U.S. regulations, specifically mentioning California standards, which are known for their rigor. However, it could be improved by providing more details about the specific standards met, such as fire safety, slip resistance, or indoor air quality. This would reassure the prospect further and demonstrate a deeper understanding of safety standards in the flooring industry. Additionally, inviting questions about specific regulations the prospect may be concerned about would enhance engagement and show active listening. Overall, while the answer is on the right track, adding more substance and encouraging dialogue would strengthen the response.

/ 10Question:
"I’ve heard about issues with other brands—how can I trust this will be different?"
Answer:
I have history in selling this product and educate you to properly care and maintenance it.
Feedback:
The response attempts to address the prospect's concerns by mentioning personal experience in selling the product and offering education on care and maintenance. However, it lacks specificity and fails to directly tackle the prospect's trust issues regarding other brands. It would be more effective to share specific examples of product reliability, customer testimonials, or data that highlight how this product stands apart from competitors. Additionally, inviting questions or discussing the specific issues the prospect has heard about could enhance engagement and demonstrate active listening. Overall, the response needs more depth and a stronger emphasis on building trust through evidence and dialogue.

/ 10Question:
"What if I change my mind after installation? Is there a return policy?"
Answer:
Installed product can't be returned and now installer will credit you back. Make sure you like your decision before you install. Do a layout first
Feedback:
The response addresses the prospect's concern about returns by stating that the installed product cannot be returned. However, it lacks clarity and reassurance regarding the credit process and does not explain the rationale behind the no-return policy. It would be more effective to discuss the benefits of careful planning before installation and emphasize the importance of making the right choice upfront. Additionally, inviting the prospect to ask further questions or share specific concerns about the decision-making process would show active listening and build rapport. Overall, clarity and engagement are needed to enhance the response.

/ 10Question:
"I have a busy schedule; how long will it take to get this installed without affecting my day-to-day?"
Answer:
Could take a couple days. Put it in your schedule so it won't mess with other parts of your day
Feedback:
The response provides a very brief answer to the prospect's concern about installation time, but it lacks detail and specificity. Simply stating that it could take 'a couple of days' does not offer enough reassurance or guidance on how to manage their busy schedule. It would be more effective to outline the installation process, including timeframes for different phases of the installation, and offer suggestions for scheduling times that minimize disruption to the prospect's daily routine. Additionally, asking the prospect about their specific schedule or any critical times to avoid would show active listening and foster a more collaborative approach. Overall, the response's lack of depth and engagement diminishes its effectiveness.
