Overcoming Objections: "I've Got Your Deal Beat"

WEBVTT
00:00:00.239 --> 00:00:01.643
I've got your deal beat.
00:00:01.643 --> 00:00:01.883
right.
00:00:02.165 --> 00:00:03.347
I found a better deal.
00:00:03.347 --> 00:00:05.793
If you're in sales, I know you've heard it.
00:00:05.793 --> 00:00:07.503
You probably hear it every week.
00:00:07.503 --> 00:00:15.182
In today's episode, we're going to show you how to successfully handle that objection and close your sale today.
00:00:15.182 --> 00:00:35.396
Hi guys, I'm Grace Lupoi and I'm here with David Lowe, the Automotive Sales Coach, and today we're working through a new series touching on these tough situations that sales consultants face every single day.
00:00:35.396 --> 00:00:37.121
Right, let's talk about that.
00:00:37.121 --> 00:00:38.982
Okay, yeah, so well, you know this.
00:00:39.084 --> 00:00:48.243
Prepare to Win is all about giving you the principles, the tips that it takes to really win at work, at selling and in life.
00:00:48.243 --> 00:00:51.880
Right To be better today than yesterday and over these last times.
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:59.707
I've really enjoyed it, bringing a lot of those foundational principles, principles that everyone I don't care if you're in sales or not can really think.
00:00:59.707 --> 00:01:02.743
This will improve my life if I could live like this.
00:01:02.743 --> 00:01:05.932
And, of course, principles aren't something we made up.
00:01:05.932 --> 00:01:16.450
Principles are natural laws that always existed, and what we need to do as people is learn them and apply them to our life where it fits at work or where it fits at home.
00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:31.715
So it's been really great to build that foundation, and so we're going to this next few episodes about 10 episodes in a row we're going to kind of take the direction of saying we know a lot of you are sending questions, asking questions.
00:01:31.715 --> 00:01:33.105
Hey, I'm facing this.
00:01:33.105 --> 00:01:33.808
What do I do?
00:01:33.808 --> 00:01:39.712
Right, there are some tough situations out there and we're going to help give you a game plan.
00:01:39.712 --> 00:01:41.346
I've been doing this 38 years.
00:01:41.346 --> 00:01:43.084
I'm going to tell you there's nothing new.
00:01:43.084 --> 00:01:55.819
Now there's the internet, has replaced newspapers, but buyers' fears are the same, right, the buyer's four questions they have to answer before they buy are the same, and the three fears they have to overcome are the same, right, right?
00:01:55.819 --> 00:02:00.412
So in sales, we are going to face objections.
00:02:00.412 --> 00:02:11.252
An objection is a statement or a reason for not moving forward, right, it's a negotiating tool or stalling tactic while people are trying to decide.
00:02:11.252 --> 00:02:14.099
They don't want to make a bad decision, right, they don't want to take advantage.
00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:20.001
So we're going to help with those situations and talk about specific Today.
00:02:20.001 --> 00:02:23.330
We've already set the stage for that.
00:02:24.762 --> 00:02:25.425
I've got your deal beat.
00:02:25.425 --> 00:02:27.447
I found a better price, okay.
00:02:27.447 --> 00:02:29.645
Is today's world internet driven?
00:02:29.645 --> 00:02:30.669
Sure is.
00:02:30.669 --> 00:02:33.307
Are people online searching for price?
00:02:33.307 --> 00:02:40.467
Yep, and do they use the price of a car they don't want to negotiate for the price of the car they do want.
00:02:40.467 --> 00:02:41.289
Okay.
00:02:41.289 --> 00:02:42.947
So what makes this up?
00:02:42.947 --> 00:03:06.072
If you want to successfully overcome this buyer's fear of pain to my I found a better deal If you want to help overcome that fear and secure that sale, close that deal now in a way that the buyer feels good, you feel good and you make a fair profit, you need a plan, and that plan begins with understanding your buyer and buyers.
00:03:06.072 --> 00:03:07.721
Do negotiate with half truth.
00:03:07.721 --> 00:03:08.842
Can I tell you something?
00:03:08.842 --> 00:03:11.849
I just said I've got your deal beat.
00:03:11.889 --> 00:03:30.687
Last week to a salesperson this is no joke, and I'll relate the story to you I was passively looking for a new motorhome, very passively, when I stumbled upon a motorhome I really wanted at what I thought was an incredible pricing right, and I used this very thing.
00:03:30.687 --> 00:03:32.110
I found one.
00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:36.002
By the way, the one that I found that I wanted was an Oregon.
00:03:36.002 --> 00:03:42.241
I found four or five more of the same model, but none of the other ones had the interior I wanted.
00:03:42.241 --> 00:03:48.913
So I found one in Pennsylvania that wasn't equipped or had the interior I wanted, but had a lower price.
00:03:48.913 --> 00:03:56.233
So I sent that advertisement to the dealer that I wanted to buy from and said I've got your deal beat.
00:03:56.233 --> 00:03:57.274
I've got a lower price.
00:03:57.274 --> 00:03:58.725
In fact, it's closer to my home.
00:03:58.725 --> 00:04:00.586
I probably should just go there.
00:04:00.586 --> 00:04:01.300
Now.
00:04:01.401 --> 00:04:02.567
Why would I do that?
00:04:02.567 --> 00:04:04.366
Why do buyers do that?
00:04:04.366 --> 00:04:07.080
To make sure they don't pay more than they have.
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.008
To Listen, I want to have a win-win relationship with who I buy from.
00:04:11.008 --> 00:04:17.129
I don't know how they price them, I don't know what the good deal is, it's hard to even know.
00:04:17.129 --> 00:04:31.610
Half the stuff is made up, and so you're just trying to figure out and navigate that, and so most buyers will use a lower priced car, not even if it's the car they don't want to talk about the car they do want.
00:04:31.610 --> 00:04:32.232
Does that make sense?
00:04:32.232 --> 00:04:33.442
That's what I did.
00:04:33.442 --> 00:04:37.271
It was effective and people have been doing that for ages.
00:04:37.351 --> 00:04:53.245
People say, well, I can buy the same one over there, and of course you pull it up and it's the same year, make and model, but it may be different color combinations, maybe different trim package, maybe even and of course you pull it up and it's the same year, make and model, but it may be different color combinations, maybe different trim package, maybe even some different options, maybe the condition is different.
00:04:53.245 --> 00:04:54.069
You know what I mean.
00:04:54.069 --> 00:05:01.446
The history is different, the reconditioning is different from, even from a set of tires or not, you know, an old set of tires.
00:05:01.446 --> 00:05:09.446
So when people are talking about price, our mind has to go to value, right, we've talked about that all the time.
00:05:09.446 --> 00:05:12.663
There's price of product and there's value, and that's a different subject.
00:05:12.663 --> 00:05:13.444
We'll talk about that.
00:05:13.786 --> 00:05:17.682
However, as a salesman be prepared for this I've got your deal beat.
00:05:17.682 --> 00:05:23.879
I have to think of what is a great deal and what makes up a great deal, right?
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.528
So I want to tell you, first of all, start with some knowledge.
00:05:27.528 --> 00:05:30.233
Dealers are using price.
00:05:30.233 --> 00:05:37.211
Dishonest newspaper advertisements are now today's dishonest internet advertisements.
00:05:37.271 --> 00:05:45.771
Okay, when I was running a VW store, we'd have people come in and say I found the same Jetta and for Chicago for this much right.
00:05:45.771 --> 00:05:49.550
Now I always ask myself then, why are you here?
00:05:49.550 --> 00:05:53.600
Right, and they're here because they want to get it from me.
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:59.271
They don't want to drive to Chicago, but they also don't want to overpay, right?
00:05:59.271 --> 00:06:02.264
So they want to use the car they don't want to buy.
00:06:02.264 --> 00:06:08.401
So I got to remind myself there's value in the fact that I'm close to them, that they can see me.
00:06:08.401 --> 00:06:10.862
There's value in that they can see my car and they know my car.
00:06:10.862 --> 00:06:13.023
Right, there's a lot of value in see my car and they know my car right.
00:06:13.023 --> 00:06:14.803
There's a lot of value in this whole thing.
00:06:15.144 --> 00:06:22.908
By the way, what happens when they get to Chicago and look at the car, drive the car, what's the experience going to be like?
00:06:22.908 --> 00:06:25.389
What are the add-ons going to be like, right?
00:06:25.389 --> 00:06:34.214
So, by the way, to explain that this dealer in Chicago had an environmental protection package you had to buy to get the car.
00:06:34.214 --> 00:06:37.377
So of course, they always advertise your car is cheaper.
00:06:37.377 --> 00:06:39.177
And then you got there and what did they do?
00:06:39.177 --> 00:06:47.668
Tack that on Now, by the way, I know that some of these things are being regulated by law right now, but not all of them.
00:06:47.668 --> 00:06:50.357
And I'm telling you some dealers are advertising minus these environmentals that you have to take.
00:06:50.357 --> 00:06:58.949
There's one big group around here that does that all the time, right, and there's great pressure on their sales staff to sell this stuff.
00:06:58.949 --> 00:07:02.990
To add this, and I've actually had managers tell me that I can't sell the car if I don't get it.
00:07:02.990 --> 00:07:12.653
Now, how do you tell a customer you can't buy the car for the price average it's happening at dealerships today, so don't assume that price they saw is real.
00:07:12.653 --> 00:07:17.706
So, by the way, this motorhome in Pennsylvania was cheaper.
00:07:18.468 --> 00:07:20.432
So I said do you have any extra fees?
00:07:20.432 --> 00:07:26.413
He said, well, of course we have the normal setup fees and, of course, destination getting it from the factory to us.
00:07:26.413 --> 00:07:28.283
So I said, well, okay, how much are those?
00:07:28.283 --> 00:07:30.447
Well, I don't really know what they are.
00:07:30.447 --> 00:07:32.690
They're not an exact chart, they're not a.
00:07:32.690 --> 00:07:34.754
So he went into that dance, I know, okay.
00:07:34.754 --> 00:07:36.699
So he says we're really aggressive, though.
00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:42.211
Anyway, he sent me a deal sheet with the price online and $7,000 in fees.
00:07:42.211 --> 00:07:43.093
Okay, right.
00:07:43.093 --> 00:07:47.992
And then over the next few days he proceeded to say what if I can reduce my fee?
00:07:47.992 --> 00:07:50.026
Right, and so I was out by then.
00:07:50.026 --> 00:07:54.603
My feet Right, and so I was out by then.
00:07:54.603 --> 00:07:55.185
Did I trust him anymore?
00:07:55.204 --> 00:07:57.875
So I'm just going to say that maybe you work at a dealership that advertises that way.
00:07:57.875 --> 00:08:05.120
You're going to have to come up with a strategy to keep your integrity and character alive as you talk to people at a distance.
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:10.259
When people call in and say I see your price, is this, what do you have on it?
00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:16.016
Say, yeah, we really have a low price and we have this package that's so valuable that we put on our car.
00:08:16.016 --> 00:08:18.242
You have to be prepared to sell that value.
00:08:18.242 --> 00:08:20.088
You don't want to mislead.
00:08:20.088 --> 00:08:29.303
Obviously, we would prefer that everybody was advertising what they could do more fairly and so that we have that integrity.
00:08:29.303 --> 00:08:33.706
But often when buyers say they have their DLB, they don't.
00:08:33.706 --> 00:08:35.327
But they don't even know they don't.
00:08:36.269 --> 00:08:41.812
So sometimes I have to point out folks, if you drive to Chicago, how many hours is that going to take?
00:08:41.812 --> 00:08:43.774
Four hours there, four hours back?
00:08:43.774 --> 00:08:45.174
Are they going to be prepared for you?
00:08:45.174 --> 00:08:46.836
What's the car going to look like?
00:08:46.836 --> 00:08:48.057
What are they going to add to it?
00:08:48.057 --> 00:08:49.457
What are they going to give you for your car?
00:08:49.457 --> 00:08:50.278
How add to it whether you're a pure car?
00:08:50.278 --> 00:08:51.220
How they're going to handle the financing?
00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:56.246
I really don't know what's going to happen when you get there, but I do know what's happening here right now.
00:08:56.246 --> 00:09:03.423
Has my team done a good job right, understanding your goals, why you're here, what you're looking for, what you're trying to come?
00:09:03.423 --> 00:09:05.912
Have they done a good job helping you find the car?
00:09:05.912 --> 00:09:14.813
Have they taken time to show you the car, how it fits your lifestyle, offer you a test drive, even taking you through service, to show you how we've got your back?
00:09:14.813 --> 00:09:16.645
All that matters.
00:09:16.645 --> 00:09:20.389
And when you add that up, you know you're getting a great deal right.
00:09:20.389 --> 00:09:23.890
So there is value here that can be built.
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:29.452
So when somebody says to you I've got your deal beat right, what do you say?
00:09:29.452 --> 00:09:31.183
We always start with empathy right.
00:09:31.183 --> 00:09:33.770
Right, I get it, I'm the same way.
00:09:33.770 --> 00:09:41.361
No-transcript, that's the feel felt found.
00:09:41.361 --> 00:09:45.543
We call empathy Right and we start with that empathy, absorbing it.
00:09:45.543 --> 00:09:51.384
Don't attack it right away and then say you've got my DLB, I've got your DLB, yeah, but do you really?
00:09:51.384 --> 00:09:52.147
What about the fees?
00:09:52.147 --> 00:09:55.780
And now there's this debate, and so I don't want to.
00:09:55.780 --> 00:09:57.361
I want this relationship.
00:09:57.361 --> 00:10:00.344
They've chosen me or they wouldn't be talking to me.
00:10:00.344 --> 00:10:06.979
Maintain the relationship and give them the logical reason to say yes to you.
00:10:06.979 --> 00:10:13.837
So we just go right into our five-step empathy logic redirect to value, reassure and re-ask, don't we?
00:10:13.837 --> 00:10:25.624
And so if you're part of our training system and you're on our dealership playbook, you've learned some of it right our fast start, our internet phone sales, how to handle best price, win-win closing.
00:10:25.624 --> 00:10:31.756
Our training actually teaches this integrity and character base turnaround.
00:10:31.977 --> 00:10:37.235
But it starts in your mind and it starts with you knowing they chose you for a reason.
00:10:37.235 --> 00:10:40.363
And if that other deal was so great, why are they keep?
00:10:40.363 --> 00:10:41.826
Why are they talking to you?
00:10:41.826 --> 00:10:43.941
Why didn't they just go there?
00:10:43.941 --> 00:10:48.264
And I don't want to be that that guy says why don't you just go there then and get it?
00:10:48.264 --> 00:10:58.099
If that's such a great, that's so lazy and so weak, why not just turn it around right and say I know a good deal is a lot more than just price?
00:10:58.099 --> 00:10:59.523
And so we know there's trade and we know there's payment.
00:10:59.523 --> 00:11:01.407
We know there's warranty, we know there's a condition.
00:11:01.407 --> 00:11:02.610
We know there's trade and we know there's payment.
00:11:02.610 --> 00:11:04.794
We know there's warranty, we know there's condition, we know there's equipment.
00:11:04.794 --> 00:11:08.485
We know there's so much that goes there's financing, there's payment.
00:11:08.485 --> 00:11:17.169
There's so much that goes into this package that we want to redirect people from just one piece of the pie, which is price, to what?
00:11:17.169 --> 00:11:19.113
The whole package, the whole package.
00:11:19.113 --> 00:11:22.937
And then when we redirect so I get it, I'm the same way.
00:11:22.937 --> 00:11:23.476
I shop everywhere.
00:11:23.476 --> 00:11:24.697
Now the cool thing is about us.
00:11:24.697 --> 00:11:26.960
I know that we go online and we do what you do.
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.923
We shop for competitors so we can price it competitively low, right up front.
00:11:30.923 --> 00:11:32.466
Probably why you called to begin with.
00:11:32.466 --> 00:11:34.548
But it's more than that, isn't it?
00:11:34.548 --> 00:11:42.318
It's not just the pricing, but it's our car, the history and the condition, the reason that we use the car.
00:11:42.318 --> 00:11:42.841
That's the redirect.
00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:50.988
You got to go back and give them a reason to feel comfortable saying yes to you while creating doubt on that other deal.
00:11:50.988 --> 00:11:51.917
Does that make sense?
00:11:51.917 --> 00:11:53.019
Yeah, all right.
00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:54.423
Let me give you one other scenario.
00:11:54.423 --> 00:11:59.926
And you're in the dealership and you put down a deal sheet and the customer says oh, I got a better deal than that.
00:11:59.926 --> 00:12:03.383
Most salesmen will say well, is it on the same car?
00:12:03.383 --> 00:12:04.956
What's the customer going to say?
00:12:04.956 --> 00:12:07.243
No, your car is better, that's why I'm here.
00:12:07.243 --> 00:12:11.101
They always say yes and now you go oh, they got the same car, so don't say that.
00:12:11.101 --> 00:12:13.515
Or they might say you got a deal sheet, you got it in writing.
00:12:13.836 --> 00:12:15.717
And now this battle begins.
00:12:15.717 --> 00:12:22.384
You got to stick to the training and use your five-step resell re-ask.
00:12:22.384 --> 00:12:27.850
You've got to let the buyer comfortably out of their half-truth, their lie.
00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:30.539
You've got to let them out, and the only way to do it is right.
00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:32.004
I know I'm the same way.
00:12:32.004 --> 00:12:32.628
I shop around.
00:12:32.628 --> 00:12:36.865
There's a lot of pricing out there and a lot of people do the pricing a lot of different ways.
00:12:36.865 --> 00:12:40.037
You know what I found as you take a look at our pricing.
00:12:40.037 --> 00:12:43.022
I know we price them competitively low, right up front.
00:12:43.022 --> 00:12:45.765
We shop the competition and what's more than that.
00:12:45.765 --> 00:12:48.129
Not only that, but you're getting the whole package.
00:12:48.129 --> 00:12:53.407
I mean, I got your back after the sale, but let's walk through the car and the benefits of this car.
00:12:53.407 --> 00:12:59.575
I'll show you how this is the whole financial package I'm offering is gonna be better, right?
00:12:59.575 --> 00:13:01.758
That's the confidence that you have.
00:13:02.097 --> 00:13:06.323
I really believe that great salesmanship is great conversation.
00:13:06.323 --> 00:13:08.125
It's not a bag of tricks.
00:13:08.125 --> 00:13:09.587
It's not a battle.
00:13:09.587 --> 00:13:11.190
It's not a head on head.
00:13:11.190 --> 00:13:11.971
Does that make sense?
00:13:11.971 --> 00:13:24.794
Don't?
00:13:24.794 --> 00:13:28.789
They may think they do, but they don't have all the information or they're probably telling a half truth just to make sure they're getting the best deal.
00:13:29.272 --> 00:13:30.735
Start with the right thinking.
00:13:30.735 --> 00:13:31.979
They chose you.
00:13:31.979 --> 00:13:35.725
They'd like to buy a car from you, but don't bank on that.
00:13:35.725 --> 00:13:48.679
Earn the right to ask them through your empathy and your logic, and you're redirecting the value and, of course, reassuring them and, lastly, asking them to buy again.
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:49.361
Does that make sense?
00:13:49.361 --> 00:13:50.342
It does so.
00:13:50.583 --> 00:13:53.328
We know all buyers don't.
00:13:53.328 --> 00:13:54.496
They don't want to pay more than they have to.
00:13:54.496 --> 00:13:55.499
I mean, who does?
00:13:55.499 --> 00:14:00.576
I don't, I'm not mad at them and um, I don't want to pay more than I have to.
00:14:00.576 --> 00:14:05.628
And the case of a car I in cars every day, but motorhomes I'm not in every day.
00:14:05.628 --> 00:14:08.621
And I think your buyers like being in a motorhome.
00:14:08.621 --> 00:14:10.246
They buy a car every two, three years.
00:14:10.246 --> 00:14:12.283
They don't know about the new pricing models.
00:14:12.283 --> 00:14:13.600
They just don't know.
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:24.971
And if you go online, I was shopping, looking at used cars and I clicked on one used car and it says says does not include our nine 50 fee, right.
00:14:24.971 --> 00:14:32.462
So another one I shopped on it, clicked and said with your $2,000 trade, they're advertising the car after right.
00:14:32.462 --> 00:14:37.287
So you have to be careful that you don't get sucked up into the price.
00:14:37.287 --> 00:14:47.386
You keep focused on the fact that they probably saw that too, but they want to use what they have to make sure they've got their very best deal from you.
00:14:48.394 --> 00:14:52.265
Maintain your character, maintain your integrity and resell, re-ask.
00:14:52.265 --> 00:14:52.394
Now.
00:14:52.394 --> 00:14:53.981
