How to play Objection Handler
Each round gives you one thing a buyer says and four ways to answer. Tap the reply you would use and press Check. After every answer you get the principle behind the best reply.
A correct answer scores 10 XP and a perfect run adds 20 XP. A wrong answer costs one of your five hearts. The ten objections are drawn from a set of fourteen.
What an objection really is
Buyers rarely say exactly what worries them. βToo expensiveβ can mean the budget is fixed, the value is unclear or a competitor has quoted less. βSend me some informationβ often means the buyer wants to end the call politely. A salesperson who answers the words and misses the meaning loses the deal without knowing why.
Four habits behind the best replies
- Acknowledge first. βThat makes senseβ costs nothing and lowers the temperature. Arguing with the objection makes the buyer defend it.
- Ask before you answer. βCompared with what?β and βWhat went wrong last time?β turn a wall into a conversation and tell you which objection you are really dealing with.
- Never attack a competitor. Criticising the supplier a buyer chose is criticising the buyer. Ask what they would change about the supplier.
- Trade, do not give. A discount offered for nothing teaches the buyer to ask again. Exchange it for a longer term, a larger order or faster payment.
The replies that lose deals
Three kinds of wrong answer appear throughout the game. The first is pressure: a deadline invented on the spot or βyou canβt afford not to buyβ. The second is surrender: an instant discount, or a promise to call back in a year. The third is the lecture: repeating the feature list or insisting that the product is different. All three end the conversation, and the best replies keep it going.
