Sales Tip Success

Referrals are the life-blood of our business.  But, do referral objections stop you from asking?
 
Many people don't ask for referrals because they don't feel confident in their ability to handle objections that come up.  Here's a strategy that will help.
 
Sit down with a colleague and one-by-one think through different referral objections for three things...how can you explore the objection with your client to gain further clarity, can you find flaws of logic in their objection and how might you reframe their thinking?
 
Example, using one of the most common objections, "I don't feel comfortable giving referrals."
  • Acknowledge - "That's fine.  I understand."
  • Explore - "Can you tell me why?  Have you had a bad experience?"
  • Reframe gently - "Hypothetically, if we could identify one or two people you think should really know about the work I do, could we craft an approach that would make you feel comfortable?"
  • If the reframe is rejected, back off with confidence and plant a referral seed - "That's fine.  The last thing I want to do is make you feel uncomfortable.  Just know that I'm never too busy to be a resource for anyone you care about.  Fair enough?"
