The most lame / unreal objection you've heard from a prospect? ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ

'I'm actually in the middle of a meeting' - VP at Netflix.ย
To which I responded, "Oh awesome, can you put me on speaker so I can say hey to everyone?"ย

๐๐ good one! Assuming you were not put on speaker huh? ๐
I was not lol - i could tell she was flabbergasted I had the audacity to even ask. ๐
this is AMAZINGย
Mercury is in retrograde so I can't make any big decisions right now.
hahah this is ace! :xD did he ask for the followup in good times? :xD
Not sure if itโd end up asuccesshehe
@saleskickย I got it a few times, and we'd usually tell them we could get them signed up now but not charge them until Mercury's not in retrograde anymore. It usually worked and avoided the follow-up black hole.
Lol let it fade outย
No way lol. Did they say it ironically or seriously?
seriously with ironic flavor I assume :Dย
lol
I had a client who said they wanted to move forward but didn't sign contracts when Mercury was in retrograde.ย When we were out, COVID was officially a problem.ย So yeah, that was disappointing.
Good product, bad timing hehe
Seriously. I used to sell to wellness practitioners including theta healers, emotion code practitions, PSYCH-K facilitators, etc.
No way ๐คฃ๐คฃ
can't argue with thatย
I was intubated and almost died from Covid which is why I never called you back and pulled the trigger. The wife of this CTO called me to tell me this after I thought I was just getting ghosted.
Whoa! I'm sure there are bunch of great Covid-related objections out there :xD
Too many for my taste lol
haha
"I thought you were calling from our London office" - Prospect
"Oh I didn't know you guys had a London office"ย - meย
"We don't" - Prospect
*Record scratch* - hol up - inner meย

Geez! Thats a champ! Lol
"I just got laid off from that stupid fucking company." Click.
Huh did you offer him a job? ๐ฌ
I'm on an important call right now. Buddy, why did you pick up then?
hehe that's a timeless one Chep. I agree!
Hehe legit!
I love that. Same with "I'm in a meeting." Oh, you answer calls from random numbers in the middle of important meetings? Sure.
hehe, heard maany timesย
๐
Easy way to overcome, "Great timing then, no need to thank me for getting you out of another pointless meaning that could be an email, am I right?"
"I only talk to sales reps face to face at a steak house." Tried to laugh it off but dude was just a total ass
๐
I find it rather satisfying when someone answers and says 'Trust me, I don't think He/She will be interested in this, we do it all in house and have for years.ย
So you then email that person they mentioned and they reply, interested, with the original person CC'd in.

Lame: Even if I can save money or get something better, I just don't care.
Unreal: Not mine, but I saw notes on an account where a rep was getting ghosted because the prospect died...

oh geez! I've had a real situation on the death of a prospect. that was quite a shock, but it was actually real. nobody made it up
I've also called dead people...always sad and awkward. Haven't had one of my active prospects die on me yet though.ย
I recently cold called someone who told me she couldn't talk because she was attending a funeral...like not on her way to one, but actually already there and in the middle of service. I could hear what sounded like a priest talking in the background. Classy to answer a sales call during a fucking funeral.

Tough.. ;(
"Why do you keep calling me? I'm obviously ignoring you!"
Huh straight fwd
โI canโt docusign, my computer monitor is brokenโ sent via emailย
๐๐ย
Vacationing and busy at some action points. Let's talk later. What action Sir? May I hear๐
heheheh
My wife doesnโt like me talking to you because youโre a hot female. Lmfaoย
Whooa! I'd love to hear what was your reply to that :xDย
'Can you please ring me next week, I'm on holiday and my wife is giving me a horrible look because I answered the phone'.ย
hehehe that's something I experience on every holiday we take :xD
"I don't buy from sales people.."
"Not interested" ... In what good sir you don't even know what I'm offering
:xDย
"We don't have money in the bank at all"
would just never contact them again. never sell to poor people lol
Exactly haha
Lol
No money, no honeyย
If that came in an as email maybe it's time to forward that to the team and tell them either this person is a liar or you should be looking for a new job.
We're hiring - good luck!

I sell a sort of software. I had a guy say "I love your product, but if my users see another new piece of software show up they'll crucify me."
Hehe honesty at its bestย
"Get a real job" *click*
Lol
โI need to talk to my dad about thatโ โ CMO.ย
Heโs dad was not even in the firm ๐

Wasn't an objection more so "before Gavin Newsome changes his mind.."ย
๐ค
Honestly I was listening in to a call and I was blown away. This was followed by a I don't sign contracts while mercury is in retrograde comment.
Where did you get my number from? - Weakest objection in the book hahahaย
Oh yeah
"My kid had a seizure at school today and I'm with him in the hospital right now, I can't make a decision about that right now" after previously establishing that he had no kids/family to include in decision making. Like c'moooooon man, I did NOT forget thatย
Huh he did invest some brain capacity coming up with that scenario lol
โIโm performing surgery right nowโย
Oh bless 'em! :xDย
Call me again when the "economic uncertainty" ends...
To which i responded: "Perfect, lets try in 2050"

Hiring Fresh Grads - hungry to make money
Mercury is in retrograde so I can't make any big decisions right now.
โYour company must be doing very bad if they have you out here going door to door harassing business ownersโ

Let your crushers who want a career change move to other departments and benefit the company with their product/industry/client knowledge.
