Welcome back to the Rise with Rozenberg Newsletter – where you’ll find the strategies that bring real sales results.

Let’s get you equipped to turn any “no” into a “yes” that drives business forward.

1. Objection Spotlight: Handling Price Concerns with Authority

Price is one of the most common objections in contracting, but it’s also an opportunity to showcase the value behind the investment. When clients say, “Your price is too high,” don’t just defend it – show them what they’re really getting.

- Power Move: Ask & Compare – Start with, “I understand your concern about the price. Are you comparing our estimate to another or to a budget you had in mind?” This opens up the conversation so you can clarify their priorities. Then, emphasize the long-term benefits and peace of mind that quality work brings, whether it’s durability, fewer repairs, or an increase in property value.

2. Objection Spotlight: “I Need to Think About It”

When clients say, “I need to think about it,” it usually signals they’re not fully convinced or may still have questions. This is your chance to fill in the gaps and provide reassurance.

- Pro Move: Provide Social Proof – Respond with, “I totally understand. It’s a big decision. Let me share a quick story from a recent client who felt the same but saw incredible value in our work.” Use client testimonials, before-and-after photos, or positive feedback. Real-life examples can ease doubts and provide the confidence they need to make the decision now.

3. Objection Spotlight: “I Don’t Have the Budget”

Budget is often a sticking point, but it doesn’t mean the deal is dead. Flexibility and solutions-oriented thinking can help you work with clients to fit their needs within their budget.

- Solution: Offer Flexible Options – Consider phased project options, financing plans, or alternative materials that still meet their goals. You could say, “Would a phased approach or a financing plan help fit this within your budget while tackling key areas?” This shows clients you’re invested in making the project feasible, not just pushing a sale.

4. Overcoming Trust Issues

Sometimes, clients hesitate because they’ve had negative experiences with contractors in the past. If trust is a concern, make it a point to demonstrate why you’re the right choice.

- Trust-Building Move: Highlight Your Track Record – Mention any certifications, warranties, or industry awards that back up your quality. Offer to connect them with past clients who’ve had great experiences working with you. Saying, “I understand trust is everything, and I’d be happy to connect you with clients we’ve worked with” can build credibility and set you apart from competitors.

6. Pro-Tip for the Week: The Power of Open-Ended Questions

When an objection arises, don’t rush to answer it. Instead, ask open-ended questions that help you understand what’s really holding the client back. For example, “What’s most important to you in selecting a contractor?” or “Are there any specific concerns I can help clarify for you?” This approach shows clients that you’re listening and focused on their needs, which can make a significant impact.
