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

RESPONSE STRATEGY 1 of 2: “You are very fortunate to get in-house support in these areas. Would you know offhand whether they outsource jobs in the areas of ___, ___ or ___ (USPs)? Who is most affected by those areas? Who would I talk to in that department?”

The sales process steps most often missed are those related to "Researching" the prospect." See the Strategic Sales Plan book or link to the diagnostic checklist below to identify the specific steps missed or not done well enough to prevent this objection.
