Prevent the Objection, “We do it internally with our own people.” Strategy 4 of 5

ObjectionFreeSellingIcon Objection # 5 of 85:We do it internally with our own people.

When does it usually occur? Initial contact.
Probable Cause: Prospect does not believe a need exists.
Objective: Establish a need.

PREVENTION STRATEGY 4 of 5: Focus your introductory comments in areas where you are strong, the internal competitor is weak (a quick sales style competitor analysis will tell you). From the onset, tell how you work with internal departments because they can leverage what you offer to multiply the results, and everyone looks good.

Your competitor analysis told you they do it internally. It also told you where and how you can help them quantifiably meet one or more of the four basic business needs with your Unique Selling Points. This is what you do. you work with the internal competition.

Now what happens to this objection if you start of by saying you know they have an internal department (person) who does this? You've prevented it!

See previous blogs or the book for the four business needs, Unique Selling Points, Competitor Analysis, and scripting suggestions.
