I feel like Dr. Evil: "Throw me a frickin' bone here... I'm the boss... I need the info!" Well, mercifully I don't have all those direct reports anymore, but I still need the info and you could help bring it!

I blogged earlier about a training I am going to conduct for an associate's brokerage to help them overcome more sales objections. Our deal was that I'd do the training for him and he'd deliver the printing business to my company from his agents' next listing or farming activities (hey, I'm not a non-profit organization just handing out the freebies and, like you, food goes on the table when people buy things...).
I made a similar offer to the AR community here online to send me an objection and I'd deliver back a technique for addressing it in exchange for your next print order so we could get to know each other-- part of how we're trying to establish online relationships with you! That offer still stands, of course, but let's sweeten the deal for those of you lurkers that need a little something of value first. I hinted earlier that I'd blog about the 3 types of objections there are out there [and, to me, there are ONLY three types out there] in a future post. To do that, I need the AR community to deliver me the laundry list of objections you are hearing out there when you are selling. With that list, I can develop a blog article that will show how each of these falls into a specific 'type' and how each can be addressed with specific tools you can anticipate needing and prepare in advance!

Comment for me with the objections you hear and post them for me as best you can in the language your prospects used to say them to you. If you're a consumer, what have you found that made you object to a particular sale and how did you express it to your agent? I'll get back to you with a post once we have enough to make it useful for everybody.
Okay I'll be the first...
