Written by Bob Leduc


Continued from page 1

2. THE PRIORITIES OBJECTION

Some of your prospective customer didn't buy from you because they put a higher priority on spending their money for something else. You can get many of these sales by persuading them to make YOUR product or service their priority.

For example, develop some special offers your prospects can't resist. Create offers so enticing your prospects feel compelled to make your product or service their priority purchase.

TIP: Include a deadline for every offer. It forces procrastinating prospects to make a decision. Many will decide to buy immediately so they don't forfeit your "good deal".

3. THE SKEPTICISM OBJECTION

Your prospects bought things inrepparttar past that didn't producerepparttar 127357 promised results. That makes them skeptical of your promises. Some ofrepparttar 127358 ways you can overcome their skepticism include:

** Eliminate any risk of loss. Guarantee your customer's satisfaction. Offer to refund your customer's money if they don't getrepparttar 127359 results they expect.

** Prove your history of delivering what you promise. Provide testimonials from satisfied customers as evidence you've lived up to your promises inrepparttar 127360 past.

** Make yourself available -- personally or by phone. This is especially effective for Internet Marketers. Prospective customers feel more secure when they can talk with a real person.

Neutralize all 3 of these unspoken objections before you ask your prospects to buy. Do it in your web pages, your sales letters, your personal presentations -- every message designed to generate sales. You'll see an immediate increase in your sales volume.
