Objection Handling

Handling sales objections
Definition
Objection handling is how a salesperson responds to a prospect's concerns – about price, timing, need or trust – in a way that moves the conversation forward.

Common B2B objections

  • We don't have the budget.
  • Now is not the right time.
  • We already work with someone.
  • Just send me some information.

A simple framework

Listen fully, acknowledge the concern, ask a question to understand what is behind it, respond with relevant proof and check whether your answer resolved it. Good objection handling feels like a conversation, not a debate.
