Let's cut to the chase: your performance is underwhelming, and it's time to step up your game. An average score of 3.2 suggests a significant gap in your ability to effectively engage with prospects and address their concerns. You seem to struggle with active listening and delivering tailored solutions, often leaving your responses vague and unconvincing. While you show some awareness of solution-focused approaches, the execution falls flat. Your strongest demonstrated technique appears to be solution-focused selling, but it's not utilized effectively enough to make an impact.
A consistent pattern across your responses is a lack of depth and engagement. You often miss the opportunity to ask probing questions that could lead to a better understanding of the prospect's needs. Dismissive tones and vague responses aren't winning you any favors either. You need to shift your mindset to prioritize building rapport and trust with your prospects.
To improve, I suggest you dive into practicing the SPIN Selling technique. Focusing on Situation, Problem, Implication, and Need-Payoff questions will help you better uncover your prospects' true needs and concerns. Additionally, study the Objection Handling Techniques, as your ability to address objections is currently lacking.
Here's your coaching moment: remember that every interaction is an opportunity to connect. Don’t just answer objections; engage with them. Show genuine curiosity about your prospect's concerns and create a dialogue rather than a monologue. If you can master this, you’ll not only improve your scores but also build lasting relationships with your clients.

"I'm worried about how this will fit into my monthly budget with my other expenses."
Answer:
We can work on a payment plan.
Feedback:
The response touches on a potential solution by offering a payment plan, which is a good start. However, it lacks depth in effectively addressing the prospect's budget concerns. It would be beneficial to ask probing questions about their budget constraints or explore what specific expenses are causing worry. This would show active listening and a solution-focused approach. Additionally, communicating the value of the service in relation to the budget could help alleviate concerns. Overall, the response is a bit too simplistic and doesn't fully engage the prospect's perspective.

/ 10Question:
"What if the vehicle doesn't meet my needs after I buy it?"
Answer:
You can excange it or we can adjust it to your own needs.
Feedback:
The response addresses the objection by providing a solution (exchange or adjustment), which shows a solution-focused approach. However, it lacks depth and does not explore the prospect's specific needs or concerns further, missing an opportunity for curiosity and discovery. It could benefit from asking clarifying questions to understand the specific needs better and reassure the prospect more effectively. The communication is clear, but the tone could be more engaging to build rapport. Overall, while it provides a basic answer, it could be significantly improved with more active listening and exploration of value.

/ 10Question:
"I feel like I might be overpaying compared to other options out there."
Answer:
The other options are not offering the same quality. So you actually saving by not buying twice. We are to poor to buy cheap stuff.
Feedback:
The response lacks effectiveness in addressing the prospect's concern about overpaying. It dismisses the objection without providing any detailed reasoning or evidence to support the claim of superior quality. The tone is somewhat dismissive and could be perceived as confrontational, which is not ideal in a sales context. A better approach would include asking questions to understand the prospect's specific needs and comparisons, thus demonstrating active listening and engagement. The response could have benefited from a more solution-focused approach, perhaps by illustrating the value or long-term cost savings of investing in quality. Overall, this response fails to build rapport or explore the value effectively.

/ 10Question:
"Can you assure me that there will be good support after the purchase if I have issues?"
Answer:
You have my personal cell phone number
Feedback:
While giving your personal cell phone number shows a willingness to be accessible, it lacks a comprehensive approach to addressing the customer's concern about post-purchase support. It would be more effective to outline specific support mechanisms in place, such as dedicated customer service teams, support hours, and response times. This way, the prospect can feel assured about the level of support they will receive. Additionally, consider asking follow-up questions to understand any specific support concerns they might have, ensuring a collaborative approach and active listening. Overall, this response is too simplistic and does not convey the organization's commitment to customer support clearly.

/ 10Question:
"I'm not sure how this will integrate with my current lifestyle and daily routine."
Answer:
You will eliminate discrimination and have more time than you think.
Feedback:
The response fails to effectively address the prospect's concern about integration into their lifestyle and daily routine. It lacks clarity and does not directly relate to the objection raised. Instead of providing a solution or exploring how the product can fit into their current routine, it offers a vague benefit that is unrelated to the specific objection. There are no thoughtful questions to further understand the prospect's situation or to demonstrate active listening. This response could benefit from a more solution-focused approach that acknowledges the concern and offers tailored insights on how the integration can be seamless. Overall, it doesn't engage the prospect or build rapport effectively.

/ 10Question:
"I've been hearing mixed reviews about your company – why should I trust you?"
Answer:
We can offer you some of our real referrals.
Feedback:
The response is a bit too brief and lacks depth in addressing the prospect's concern. While offering real referrals is a good step towards building trust, it doesn't provide a compelling reason or context for why the prospect should trust the company in the first place. A more effective response would have included acknowledgment of the mixed reviews, a brief explanation of how the company has addressed any concerns, and perhaps a few highlights of positive customer experiences. Additionally, asking a follow-up question to uncover more about the prospect's specific concerns could have shown active listening and curiosity. Overall, the response falls short on clarity, solution focus, and collaboration.

/ 10Question:
"I need to think more about this – can you give me more time to consider?"
Answer:
Yes, no pressure but don’t waste your time. I don’t want you to say in 2-3 years “I wish I would started 3 years ago “.
Feedback:
The response acknowledges the prospect's need for time, which shows some level of understanding. However, it lacks a solution-focused approach and doesn't effectively address the objection. The tone may also come off as a bit dismissive rather than supportive. Instead, it would be more effective to ask probing questions to understand their concerns better and provide value during the decision-making process. Additionally, a collaborative approach could help build rapport and trust. Overall, the response could benefit from a more empathetic tone and a stronger focus on the prospect's needs.

/ 10Question:
"I have a colleague who's been using a different brand and they swear by it; why should I switch?"
Answer:
We have the experience and the connection. The other brand might be our client.
Feedback:
The response lacks depth in addressing the objection. It doesn't effectively communicate the unique value of switching brands or how your solution can solve specific issues the prospect might face. Instead of just mentioning experience and connections, it would be more effective to highlight specific benefits, such as cost savings, better service, or superior features. Additionally, engaging the prospect with questions about their colleague's experience could provide valuable insights and create a more collaborative dialogue. Overall, the response feels dismissive and doesn't explore the prospect's concerns meaningfully.

/ 10Question:
"I'm not convinced this will deliver the ROI I need given the current economic uncertainty."
Answer:
You are the only one responsible for the ROI, not necessarily the economy. You will be guided to make the best decisions in any economy.
Feedback:
The response lacks effectiveness in addressing the customer's concern about ROI, especially in the context of economic uncertainty. It comes off as dismissive, placing the responsibility solely on the prospect without acknowledging their valid concern. A more effective approach would include asking questions to uncover specific ROI expectations and providing tailored insights on how the solution can deliver value despite economic challenges. The tone could also be more empathetic and collaborative to build rapport. Overall, this response misses an opportunity for exploration and engagement with the prospect's needs.

/ 10Question:
"What if my team isn't on board with this change, will there be support for them too?"
Answer:
Yes, we can work together with them to understand your vision.
Feedback:
The response is quite vague and does not adequately address the prospect's concern about their team's buy-in for the change. While it acknowledges collaboration, it lacks specifics about the support that will be provided to the team. To improve, the salesperson should detail how they plan to facilitate the transition, such as training sessions or ongoing support, and also inquire further about the team's specific concerns. This would demonstrate active listening and a more solution-focused approach. Additionally, a stronger closing technique could help reinforce commitment to support the team.
