If you’re selling a high-ticket service facing a lot of objections in every sales conversation, then you’re in the right place. Most founder-based sellers and salespeople admit they charge too little or struggle with justifying their prices. We get it. It's hard to get people to pay you what you're worth, which is why you need to become a boss in the art of handling objections and communicating your value. After this episode, you’ll learn how to overcome common objections such as “I can’t afford it” and “Is this really necessary?” so that clients start paying you the right amount.
We only have one request after learning Joey’s HECCC framework for handling sales objections: Don’t be an idiot, go ahead and do this in your sales conversations.
