A discussion about sales, sales tips and advice, and about those who land the deal

You know what might have rescued the telemarketer?  A clever comeback.

The problem with telemarketers is that they work off a script.  You can tell because theres no passion.  No connection.  No nothing, most of the time.

I gave a response that was off the wall ridiculous, and she didn't know how to respond.

Question for you, the sales professional: How would you have answered a ridiculous excuse like that? 

I know, I know...you don't get response like that.  So, here's another question: How do you handle the regular objections you get?  The regular put-offs by potential customers? 

Do you freeze?  Do you retreat?  Think about it...if you have trouble answering objections, you're going to struggle in sales.
