Episode 116: What To Say When Customers Object To Your Price

NO. 

Not the word you want to hear when tendering for a job.  

We’re not all silky salesmen. 

So we all know that hearing the N word is part of business ownership. 

But as you’ve probably heard about negotiation, no doesn’t mean no. 

Whether someone has outright rejected your quote or is bartering with you to get a better deal… 

There are certain things you can say to put the ball in your court. 

Like a lot of business owners, I’m not interested in the airy details. 

I’m interested in knowing Exactly how to respond when someone objects one of my quotes. 

So Phil & I sat down to record a training session on exactly what to say.
