Overcome Sales Objections Using A.I.O.A.
In this video, we discuss the #1 mistake sales reps make in overcoming sales objections and how you can use AIOA to handle them with ease.
Too often, sales reps are quick to argue rather than understand. Instead of combating your next objection head-on, try AIOA: Agree, Isolate, Overcome, Ask. No more saying the wrong things in make-or-break moments.
Agree
Agree with your customer that her concern is valid.
“I totally understand where you’re coming from.”
Isolate
Ask a clarifying question to get to the heart of your customer’s concern.
“It sounds like your main concern here is that you don’t have the funds available to make a purchase of this size, is that right?”
Overcome
Overcome the objection by posing a new idea that might change your customer’s mind. It is key that agents are prepared with time-tested strategies to overcome objections.
“Well, since a lack of immediate funds is your main concern, we could finance the purchase over 36 months to fit your budget.”
Ask
“Would this work for you?”
