Objection Handling

Objection #1

"Still trying to do it ourselves"

Your Response

"I respect that completely. You seem very determined, and that's admirable. I'm just curious - based on what you've learned over the past [timeframe], is there anything you'd do differently if you were starting over? Sometimes small adjustments can make a big difference in results."

Objection #2

"We're getting some activity"

Your Response

"That's fantastic! I'm glad to hear it. Are you finding that the activity is translating into serious offers, or are people mostly just looking? Sometimes there's a difference between lookers and qualified buyers, and I've found ways to help filter for more serious prospects."
