Overcoming Objections
1.
Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ Objections that
prospects have been using for 30 years Shouldn’t we begin by anticipating these objections in advance and by learning the best ways to overcome them? This section teaches you how to overcome each…easily. “Now is not the best time.” “I would like to think about it.” “Contact me later.” “Let me read the brochure first.” “I have a friend in the business.” “Is it insured like the FDIC?” “I can do better with my money.” “I would like to talk to my CPA about it.” “I would like to discuss it with my spouse.” “I don’t like annuities.” “I never tie up my money for longer than a “I have no money.” year.” The 3 important steps toward overcoming any objection The most effective way to deal with objections successfully is to learn these four steps. 1 Learn how to uncover the objection. 2 Learn how to isolate the objection you have just uncovered. 3 Learn how to address and overcome the objection you have just uncovered and isolated. 4 Learn how to close after you have uncovered, isolated, addressed, and overcome the objection. We risk $1,250 in commissions in every sales interview. That is approximately how much we risk in commissions by not knowing the best sales presentation, the best ways to uncover needs, and the best ways to discover solutions to the needs of our prospects. Twelve hundred and fifty dollars is too much to risk by simply not knowing how to overcome the objections that we know we will hear, since these are the same objections that prospects have been voicing for 30 years. Isn’t it about time we learn how easy it is to overcome any objection? 1 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ How to
uncover the objection Our first responsibility is to uncover our prospect’s real objection. Many prospects and clients give brush-off responses without giving their real objections. “Sounds great.” “Let me think about it.” These are nice, diplomatic, polite ways to curtail the decision-making process. We use them ourselves in our business and personal lives to avoid confrontations. Please reflect on the last time you had a disappointing meal. What did you say when the waitress brought the check and asked you how everything was? You probably smiled and said, “It was very nice.” We do to others the same thing that prospects do to us. We all create these pleasant-sounding words that do not represent how we truly feel. “You look marvelous.” “Good morning.” “Have a great weekend.” “It was terrific.” Prospects give us brush-off responses for three reasons. One reason is that they are unaware that they have a need, or they do not see the benefit to solving that need now. The second reason we hear brush-off responses is because the prospect prefers not to specify the real objection. The third reason we hear brush-off responses is because anxiety appears with saying yes. As a sales professional, you must learn how to address brush-off responses effectively. Here are a few examples of some brush-off responses: “I would like to think about it.” “Sounds great.” “Let me read over the brochure first.” “Let me talk it over with my spouse.” One way to get the objection out in the open is to use one easy-to-remember word: specifically Prospect’s objection Your response I would like to think about it. What specifically would you like to think about? Prospect’s objection Your response Let me read the brochure first. What specifically would you like to read about? If there is no response, The choice is obvious. Let’s go ahead you would then say: with it today. What is your Social Security number? If there is a response and the prospect tells you what she wants to specifically think about, you have successfully uncovered her objection. This approach will allow you to bring your prospect to closure, or you will uncover your prospect’s objection. Either way, you win. 2 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.
3.
Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ How to
isolate that objection However, we must know how to isolate the objection after the objection has been uncovered if we really want our sales career to skyrocket. The strategies that follow are ideal for isolating objections. Please note that regardless of what the prospects say, you often respond with the same thing. If they echo another objection after you ask the question, always address the most recent objection. Prospect’s objection Your response I want my spouse (or CPA) to OK it Let’s assume that your spouse (or first.” CPA) were to OK this. Do you know of any other reason why you would not go ahead with this plan? Prospect’s objection Your response Now is not the right time Sir, if this were the right time, do you know of any other reason why you would not go ahead with this plan? Prospect’s objection Your response I do not have money. If you did have the money, do you know of any other reason for you not to go ahead with this plan? Prospect’s objection Your response I never make decisions the first time Sir, if this were not the first time, do I hear about something.” you know of any other reason why you would not go ahead with this plan? 3 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.
4.
Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ How to
isolate that objection…(continued) After you have isolated their objection, overcome the objection by giving them accurate information. Then, say: “Do you see how (restate their objection in positive terms)?” (Pause for response) “Earlier, you said that was the only reason holding you back. What is your Social Security number?” How to address the objection We now know how to make prospects comfortable with making a decision by reducing anxiety for them. We now know how to get the objection uncovered and isolated. Now, let’s learn how to address and overcome objections successfully. The “reason not to buy is the precise reason that they should buy” Let’s now paint a picture. You have uncovered your prospect’s objection. You have isolated your prospect’s objection by using the techniques on the previous pages. Use the following responses to address their objections. Someone else in the business objection Prospect’s objection Your response I have a friend in the business. That is the precise reason why you should get this annuity from me. I do not want to be your friend. I want to be your advisor on important – and sometimes confidential – matters regarding your money. Occasionally, these are matters that only you and your advisors should know about and perhaps not your friend. If I may, I would like to show you one additional benefit? May I? Notice the essential components when you overcame the prospects’ objections in the example. You have repeated their reason “not to buy” as the reason that they should buy. You introduced a layer of information. You then asked if you could show one additional benefit. You then would follow with a new close after you have reviewed the additional benefit. Let’s not forget that many expressed objections are artificial objections. Often the real hidden objection is that we have not uncovered their needs or discovered the solution to these needs. Or, we have not created sufficient urgency for clients to want to act now and to have their needs solved. Or, we have not yet created the bond of trust and respect that must exist between the prospect and us. 4 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.
5.
Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ The “feel/felt/found”
approach Prospect’s objection Your response I would like to discuss it with my spouse.” I can appreciate how you feel. Many of my clients felt the same way. However they found that their spouse respected the decision that they had made. If I may, I would like to show you one additional benefit. May I? Which approach is better? We have now discussed two proven strategies to addressing objections. You can use the reason not to buy is the precise reason to buy approach or the feel/felt/found approach. Which approach should you use? The one you feel more comfortable with is the approach that you should use. We recommend, however, that you stick with one approach. Having seven different ways of shooting a free throw might keep some players out of the NBA, and having seven different approaches to overcoming objections might keep you from achieving the next level of selling success. Unique objections You need only two approaches to address 9,998 objections. However, there are unique objections when your two approaches will not work. Let’s discuss those objections now since they deserve unique responses in order for them to be overcome consistently. “Let me read the brochure first.” “Now is not the time.” “Is it insured by the FDIC?” “I don’t like the surrender charges since I never tie my money up for longer than a year.” The proven best things to say when you hear any of these unique objections are on the following pages. 5 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.
6.
Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ Let me
read the brochure first What will you say when you hear a prospect echo, “Let me read the brochure first?” “I am the brochure.” (Smile in your voice) or “However, my insurance license allows me to represent 2,000 insurance companies and my securities license allows me to recommend 2,000 mutual funds and 2,000 different corporations on the New York Stock Exchange. I could give you 6,000 brochures, prospectuses, and annual reports to read, but you only want one and I’ll know the best one to review with you after we spend another 15 minutes together. If I may, I would like to show you one additional benefit. May I?” or “I am the brochure and my company saves quite a bit of money in printing.” (Optional) And we then pass those savings on to you. (Smile) or (With a smile in your voice) “Our brochure was fired last week because it could only answer the easy questions customers had. I can answer your easy and your difficult questions.” I don’t like the surrender charges The surrender charges are the second best thing about owning an annuity. One of the best ways to appreciate the surrender charge period is to compare the annuity with other financial products. For example, if you were to purchase 1,000 shares of stock valued at $20 per share, what would you be able to sell the stock for two years from now? You don’t know, do you? If you were to invest $100,000 in muni-bonds, what would you be able to sell those muni-bonds for two years from now if interest rates increase appreciably? You don’t know, do you? If you were to purchase that gorgeous $300,000 home overlooking the fifth fairway, what would you be able to sell it for two years from now? (Plus, how long would it take you to sell it?) You don’t know, do you? The surrender charges are the second best thing about the products that we sell because they are expressed in every contract. In 99 percent of everything our customers buy, they have no idea what the selling price is going to be. However, they always know our selling price because it is specified in every fixed annuity policy that we sell. Be proud of the surrender charge period. We can give people what they want–certainty, a guarantee, no surprises–a selling price for every year of their life. When you really think about it, doesn’t an actuary provide a surrender charge period to protect an insurance company from excess withdrawals and premature surrenders–in other words, a run on the bank? Where would you like to have your money–with an insurance company that is trying to protect itself from a run on the bank, or with an insurance company that is not trying to protect itself?* *We are not saying that an insurance company with lower penalties is weaker than an insurance company with higher penalties. 6 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ I don’t
like the surrender charges…(continued) From the mid-1980s through the early ‘90s, many of us went searching for insurance companies that were losing money. That’s right. We went looking for insurance companies with the highest interest rates, the shortest surrender charge periods, the highest commissions, and the most liquidity. Many of us went searching for insurance companies that were losing money and many of us found them. These days, sales professionals are beginning to look for profitable insurance companies to stand behind their clients’ desires, needs, objectives, and savings dollars. There must be three winners. The insurance company must win…we must win, but above all, our clients must win. Whenever we think we need just two winners, there can be three losers. *We are not saying that an insurance company with lower penalties is weaker than an insurance company with higher penalties. 7 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ I never
tie my money up for longer than a year Often, when selling a financial product with surrender charges, customers will say that they never tie their money up for longer than a year. When you hear this objection, use this proven dialogue: You: “How long have you been rolling over your money at the bank from one year to the next?” Prospect: “10 years.” You: “There are 365 days in one year. How many days are there in 10 years?” (Pause and allow your customer to answer.) Prospect: “3,650 days.” You: “If I understand you correctly, you have been renewing your money from one year to the next for the last 3,650 days. Am I correct?” Prospect: “Yes.” You: “At the end of each of the last 10 years, you have had a grace period at the bank where you have had penalty-free access to your principal and interest. You could do anything you wished with these dollars without premature loss of interest penalties. How many days were in that grace period?” Prospect: “Seven days.” You: “And, you have had 7 days at the end of each year and you have been doing this for 10 years. Seven days times 10 equals…” Prospect: “70 days.” When you use this approach, your prospects will begin to realize the slight chance of their emergency arising during these 70 special days. That’s right. During the last 3,650 days, they had only 70 magical days of penalty-free access to their principal and interest. You: “As I stated earlier, our penalties do not reappear every year. In fact, they disappear in seven short years.** Which means in years 8, 9, 10, and thereafter, there will be no penalties at all on this financial product. Which product in your opinion has more penalty-free liquidity: an account with 70 penalty-free total liquidity days or this financial product with 1,095 penalty-free total liquidity days?” (365 times 3…in other words, years 8, 9, and 10.)” ** Assumes a surrender charge period of 7 years. 8 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ The safety
objection Unquestionably, safety is on the minds of your prospects and clients. The media is beginning to talk about the same insurance companies that our Moms and Dads discussed in the dens of our homes. We can no longer use the exclusive strategy that we used to use… “My company is rated ____________ by ___________.” In other words, one rating from one of the fine rating services. When prospects hear that, they respond, “Sure, and so was ___________ Life Insurance Company and so was _______________ Life Insurance Company.” Am I saying that rating services are not important? No! In fact, I feel just the opposite. Rating services are important. However, we may need to say more than just one rating from one service. What else do we need? If you look at the life insurance companies that did have problems over the past years, some of them had two things in common. One thing that many insurance companies had in common was where they had been investing. Therefore, one way to distinguish yourself from some of the companies that have had problems is to say: “Not all insurance companies are created equal. Allow me to tell you where my insurance company has its money.” Therefore, one way* to convey safety is to discuss the insurance company that stands behind the guarantees. And, where your company has its money allows you to distinguish your company from the companies that experienced problems since these guarantees are as strong as the insurance company making the guarantees.” Are the dollars insured like FDIC? No matter how often you have explained this to the prospect, he or she is still going to ask you, “Are my dollars insured like FDIC?” After you hear your prospect ask, “Is this annuity insured like FDIC?” your conversation should be similar to the following script.” You: “That is a very good question. But, before I answer that question, may I ask you a question?” (Pause for response) Do you own a home? Prospect: “Yes.” You: “If you were to sell your home today, what would you ask for it?” Prospect: “$200,000.” You: “That’s terrific, a $200,000 home. I have one last question. Do you have your home insured?” Prospect: “Of course!” You: “You were wise to have selected an insurance company to insure and guarantee your single most valuable asset, your $200,000 home. You are again being wise to select an insurance company to insure the dollars that you are placing in this annuity today. Doesn’t it feel good that strong insurance companies can stand behind your home, your car, your life, your health, and your money?” 9 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ We select
insurance companies to insure our single most valuable asset, our $100,000, $200,000, $300,000, or $500,000 homes, don’t we? We select insurance companies to insure our cars and our jewelry. We select insurance companies to insure our ability to bring home a paycheck each week (disability income). We select insurance companies to insure our health, our retirement, and our lives. We must get prospects to use their intellect. If they do, they will appreciate knowing that an insurance company is standing behind their home, their car, their health, their retirement, their lives, and everyone they love. When we get prospects to use their intellect, they will begin to appreciate how much peace of mind we have given them in the past, how much peace of mind we give them now, and how much peace of mind we will give them in their future. NOTE: This approach should be preceded with the real bottom-line answer, “A guarantee is as strong as the insurance company making the guarantees.” The real skeleton in our closet Previously, I mentioned that some of the insurance companies that recently experienced problems shared two things. Where they were investing was one of those things. The other thing that some of the insurance companies had in common was a run on the bank. Unfortunately, few institutions–including insurance companies–can survive 25,000 phone calls a week with billions and billions of dollars being surrendered in a short period of time. Fortunately, a run on the bank is something that we can often control and prevent. We must recognize that selling fear damages our careers. The small amount of money we can make on one, two, or three surrenders, replacements, and 1035 exchanges is dramatically less than the money we would have made if we had kept our industry strong. Instead of saying, “Oh, you don’t have that insurance company, do you?,” let’s learn how to find other dollars from a different industry. This is preferable to laundering the same dollars from one insurance company to the next. We must stop selling fear. We should start selling needs. We must stop selling the interest rate. We should start selling needs. We must stop selling price. We should start selling needs. We must have longevity. Longevity means repeat business from clients and repeat referrals. Anticipate all objections We as sales professionals must anticipate all objections. We must role-play and rehearse. When was the last time you rehearsed your sales presentation? Baseball’s Hall of Fame Ted Williams practiced every day. Why don’t you? Too many sales people try something out for the first time while they’re with a prospect who desperately need good sound retirement planning. That is not the time to wing it. The time to wing it is at home or at the office or in your car. 10 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ When you
hear the objection at the point of sale, you must: 1 Listen attentively to the objection. 2 Show the prospect that you understand and respect the objection. “I can appreciate how you feel about (restate their objection).” 3 Address and overcome the objection by using reason and emotion. 4 Solicit acknowledgement from the prospect that the objection is no longer a concern. 5 Close. The average sale involves 3 objections A recent survey reported that an average sale involves three objections. Are you walking away too soon? Review the appointments you had last week. Visualize each appointment. Did you leave after the first objection? The second? The third? Once again, let’s remember the most important priority, our prospect. Prospects must be sure that they are making decisions which are in their best interest. All we want to do is to assist them in making the wise decision. All we want to do is to remove the anxiety that everyone experiences when making a decision. We’d all like to remain in the status quo. The status quo provides tranquility. Change creates anxiety. Overcoming objections is perceived by some people as being manipulative. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Overcoming objections gives prospects a new layer of information. Overcoming objections is “talking it through.” I recall when Mary and I were considering a move to California. We spent five days looking at one house after another. Not only were we going through a change of 3,000 miles, we were also going through the change between a California home and a Connecticut home. One home had a big backyard and no pool. The other home had a tiny backyard with a large pool. One home had a cedar-shake roof, the other had a red Spanish tile roof. And, one home was valued at just 33% of what the new home would cost. Unquestionably, I experienced a level of anxiety and tension when we found the home that we decided was in our best interest. Did I want to say “yes” right away? No. Did I want to “talk it through?” Yes. That is exactly what we did with the realtor. We talked and we talked. There were objections. We examined them. Mary and the realtor both heard me say, “It costs too much. It’s too large.” But, every time we talked it through, I realized that the home was not too large and not too expensive. Mary and the realtor lessened my anxiety by “talking it through.” This is what you should be learning from this section. You are learning to talk it through. You are not trying to get someone to do something that he does not want to do. You are only assisting the prospect in hurdling that moment of tension. 11 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.

Overcoming Objections ______________________________________________________________________________ However, that
realtor had something special. In fact, she had the same something special that I want from every sales professional with whom I do business. She had my trust and respect, and we had rapport. A financial professional with the greatest closing techniques, trained by the best sales trainer, will not succeed until respect and trust have been earned. In the same way, there must be established rapport, trust, and respect between you and the prospect. When was the last time you bought something from a salesperson that you did not like? If you have, didn’t you think less of that product? Wasn’t there a degree of uncertainty about whether you had done the right thing? And, how many referrals did you give that salesperson. That’s right. None. Acquiring product knowledge, caring about your prospect more than yourself, being a caring listener, being sincere, and all of the other traits addressed in this book will help you achieve a higher level of success. However, when you have all of the above plus you know how to get objections uncovered, isolated, addressed, and overcome, then you are truly a professional who will have a dramatic effect on the emotional and financial lives of thousands of people. 12 Copyright © 2009 W.V.H., Inc., San Diego, CA All Rights Reserved.
