Objection or a statement of fact? šŸ¤”
Morning everyone.
Bit of a long read for you all this morning but thatā€™s what this is for I guess.
Anyway, I seem to be coming across the same 2 ā€œobjectionsā€ nearly every time I get a hold of a CFO/Financial director.
Scenario 1) give them my pitch and they say ā€œweā€™ve already got something in placeā€
I dig into this a bit and ask as Callum, Benjamin and others have told me to and ask if what they mean to say is that ā€œitā€™s perfectā€ most of the time Iā€™ll get a ā€œyeah it isā€ and then again, Iā€™ll try dig a bit deeper, then go into the whole ā€œso even if there was someone who could do a better jobā€¦ā€ spiel and always end up with a ā€œno, we wouldnā€™t be interestedā€ - now, the reason I ask and am unsure is because in my mind that is the prospect disqualified, they have solidified their need (rather, lack of) for my product/service. Yet, my management are on my back saying that ā€œI didnā€™t pitch the productā€ ā€œstop trying to tell them to say that itā€™s perfect because theyā€™ll just say it isā€ etc etc.
Scenario 2) after the pitch, they turn around to me and say ā€œitā€™s just not a priority for us right nowā€
Again, Iā€™ll dig into that a bit. Try find out whether itā€™s a statement of fact or just something to get me off the phone. Iā€™ll say something similar to ā€œcan I ask, what is a priority for you right now?ā€ And from here, Iā€™m not too sure where to take it.
Any suggestions on how to deal with both scenario 1 & 2? The hardest part for me is trying to get the prospect to discover they have a problem for themselves or at least itā€™s a big enough problem for them to prioritise/invest in solving.
Bonus points for anyone that helps me with this -> I feel like Iā€™ve disqualified the prospect out and done all I can but like I said in scenario 1, management are all over me because of the fact that Iā€™m disqualifying and not even trying to book a meeting with the ones who have been disqualified. Bad management/company? Get out as soon as I can?
Looking forward to the slander/suggestions/mockery in the comments below.
