ANSWERS
1. “I’m going to buy your competitor’s product. The engine is better.”
Best Answer: Take him on a test drive to demonstrate your product’s engine
Rationale: Refocuses your customer on your product. A test drive where she can touch, see, feel and hear the engine crushes cold data about the competition’s engine.
2. “The price you want for this car is just too high”
Best Answer: Ask her why she thinks that.
Rationale: You have to understand the objection before answering it. Too high for her budget? Not enough value? Too high compared to your competition?
3. “Nice car, but I just can’t afford it”.
Best Answer: “Besides price, is there anything else standing in the way of you getting the car?”
Rationale: The price objection is sometimes a smokescreen for the real objection. Make sure it’s the real objection before answering it.
4. A customer objects that the car is not reliable, citing a recall
Best Answer: Show understanding of her concern and show her current reliability data
Rationale: Avoids getting into an argument about the recall. Showing empathy first earns you the right to present the balanced picture
5. “I like this car but it’s got too many whistles and bells. The manufacturers load these things up with high profit accessories so they make more money”
Best Answer: Ask what accessories she likes
Rationale: Empowers this skeptical customer so that she can “fight back” and buy the car equipped the way she wants.

Re: What is your biggest challenge? Today?
- The biggest hurdle for me to start my online firm, was getting financed and overcoming the technology learning curve. I spent the better part of 6 months attending workshops and unpaid training to learn about SEO and online content management systems. I also spent a month learning basic programming, web site creation tools, and general IT skills. The culmination of this training enabled me to make a thorough presentation to the bank and to private investors. I was able to secure some finances and some servers to run my operation. However, the biggest challenge was time. Overcoming what to 'do' with your time is something entrepreneurs struggle with every day. There is always something you could be doing 'better' or 'worse' with your time.
