The Creation of an Objection

Written by: Nikki Owen

Article Overview: “You attract to you the predominant thoughts that you’re holding in your awareness, whether those thoughts are conscious or unconscious.” Michael Bernard Beckwith Before attempting to handle any type of objection, it’s important to begin by looking at the beliefs that sales people are holding in their minds. If they are focusing on what objections they believe they will encounter, they will unconsciously transmit these thoughts to their prospects.

The Creation of an Objection

Every moment, human beings perceive things on many different levels based on millions of bits of information being absorbed into the unconscious mind. Our conscious mind is not able to process all of this information and tends to select small chunks at a time. At the most basic level, there is neurological perception, the way we perceive sensory-based things. This level of perception is based upon the functioning of our end-receptors (i.e., our eyes, ears, skin, nose, tongue and mouth, inner ear, etc.). If there’s damage in the end-receptor, our ability to pick up information from the energy manifestations in the world will be affected, sometimes completely cut off so that we perceive nothing, or in limited ways, or in very distorted ways. At another level, an individual’s experiences and consequently their beliefs will influence and colour their perceptions. Ultimately, the only thing that can be ‘real’ for an individual is the ‘reality’ that they hold inside their mind. Have you ever experienced buying a new car and suddenly noticing how many cars of the same type as yours are driving around? This is because your car has been a recent, conscious, focus for you so you see similarities with this new focus.
Objections start with a thought. You have to think about an objection to manifest and experience the objection. For years, Quantum physicists have been working to prove the entire Universe stemmed from a simple thought and this is referred to as The Law of Creation. When an individual holds a particular thought for any length of time, they are focusing their attention on this thought. This attention will attract evidence of the thought into their lives that consequently serves to validate and strengthen their initial thought. According to Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, Quantum Physicist, “ the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived.” This concept has enormous implications for sales people who have a tendency to encounter the same type of objections, over and over again because ultimately, at some level they are not comfortable about a certain aspect of your company’s product or service. This means that their perceptions are being projected onto their prospects.
That’s why any development in the area of objection handling should start with the sales people themselves so that they have the right ‘thoughts’ and beliefs that can serve them better during their daily interactions with prospects and customers.
Another crucial factor to bear in mind when teaching your sales team to handle objections, is to help them accept one hundred responsibility for the objections they receive. Every action they take creates a reaction that is based on the formula of cause and effect. Everything that happens is the effect of an underlying cause. Most sales people spend their lives operating at effect….”it’s not my fault I always end up competing against (biggest competitor)” “Life’s so unfair, I always get the worst territory” “how can I compete with our high prices?” True personal power can be achieved when an individual accepts 100% responsibility for what they create in their lives. This means, accepting at some level they have ‘created’ the objections in the first place and if they accept this, it pre-supposes they also have the power to remove objections before they even occur. To put it another way they get one of two things; the result or outcome they want or the reasons why they didn’t (you may recognise these as ‘excuses’!) The more your sales team focus on the reasons why they encounter objections and blame circumstances beyond their control, they push away their personal power to create more of the results they want.
This empowering philosophy is powerfully explained in a film called The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes that can be purchased from www.thesectret.tv./

Product promotion strategy - The effectiveness of our products is 200% Guaranteed. It is according to our feedbacks and the quality, reliability, efficiency and utility scale of the product. The product is not similar to any conventional products in the market at the moment. It could use to clean almost everything (include clothing’s) that do not contain Caustic Soda, Ammonia, Chlorine and Fumes. In short means, safe and do not work like bleach that damage the matter or fabric of the item being washed. Biggest Objection? I'm not quite too sure about what you are trying to ask here. If it for the product, it is fine. The product sell itself and I haven’t heard back from any of the customers yet. 99.9% of our customers came back for more and brought back more customers or buy for their friends n families. There were some customers that complained the products didn’t work. But majority of them didn't follow the instruction, and we convinced them to follow the instruction and they are happy again. If it for the business, I think the major objection or disadvantage for us now is the lack of business system, resources deployment and networking.

Books for Business Owners - I know that everyone's profile has their favorite book on business, but I thought I would start a topic finding out why people like the books that they have put on their profiles. That way, everyone can see a good list and maybe read some to help grow their business. For instance, I listed my favorite business book as [u:3ov9vf71]Spark: Be More Innovative through Co-Creation[/u:3ov9vf71], by John Winsor. I believe that it is a great book because it profiles some of the nation's most highly known entrepreneurs and their ideas on various business topics. Each chapter starts out with a page from the author about his interview with the business person and then the chapter is written by the business person themselves about their background and their thoughts on a specific business topic. At the end of each chapter, Winsor gives his thoughts on the chapter and gives you some advice as to how to really utilize the advice that was given throughout the chapter.
