What are the four general categories of objections – list specifics about each
Definition
The Stall or Put-Off: look for the true meaning behind their words, often times they are still making a decision if they want to buy or you have not presented a compelling enough reason for them to buy.
The Searcher: a hidden request for additional information. The refusal to buy until more information about the product is presented to them.
The Hidden Objection: the prospect refuses to let you know their real concern. This includes Hidden objections to the product or service or unspoken hesitation may prevent a sale.
The Stopper: “an objection to which no satisfactory solution can be found” with justifiable reasons for not making a purchase.

What are the four logical times to respond to buyers concerns (expand on each)?
Definition
Anticipate and forestall objections: prospects may see objections to buying your product in the presentation, address the possible objections in your presentations before the prospect has a chance to ask their question or state their concern.

Postpone the answer until later in the presentation: use this method when you were planning to answer that question in your presentation at a later time and the prospect has jumped ahead.

Answer it immediately when it is raised: most valid objections should be answered immediately unless you have a reason to postpone them (like it will be answered later in the presentation).

Do not answer an excuse: find an alternative way to avoid answering an excuse. If you must reply to excuses say their concerns will be addressed at the presentation.

3)Comparison: Compare the superior quality of your product to those the prospect’s company already uses.
4)Sell Down: have a variety of products or optional benefits available to your prospect if they are interested but the top product is out of their budget.

How can an objection be considered a buying signal?
Definition
Offering objections are another way of telling the salesperson
A. “Here are my conditions for buying”
B. “Reassure me buying is the right thing to do with the answers of a few more questions.”

There are verbal and nonverbal signals which may help a salesperson decipher if a prospect is making legitimate objections or simply putting off the process.
