Objections are questions in disguise. Learn a simple method and responses to the most common ones.

In this lesson you’ll learn to

  • I use Listen, Acknowledge, Explore, Respond
  • I have responses to the top five objections
  • I prevent common objections early
  • I respect a clear no

The method: LAER

• Listen fully.

• Acknowledge — “That makes sense.”

• Explore — “Can I ask what’s behind that?”

• Respond — address the real concern.

Common objections

• “It’s too expensive.” — “Compared to what?” Clarify value, payment options or a smaller start.

• “I need to think about it.” — “Of course. What part are you weighing up?”

• “I need to talk to my partner/boss.” — “Makes sense. What will they want to know? Shall we set a time to talk together?”

• “Send me information.” — “Happy to. What would be most useful?” and book a follow-up.

• “We’re happy with our current provider.” — “Great. What would make it worth comparing?”
