Online event - Closing the deal - Objection Handling

The Insurance Institute of Cardiff invite you to a webinar on Closing the deal - Objection Handling

Event Details:

Thursday 28^th April 2022 10:00 – 11:00

The webinar will be run via Zoom, a global web-conferencing solution. Zoom is easy to use, a link and joining instructions will be sent to you at the time of booking.

About the session:

In the same way that many salespeople experience ‘call reluctance’, many others fail to ask for the business, or to have appropriate strategies to deal with objections when they do. This session explores how the work you do earlier in the process can make it easier for yourself by minimising objections and creating an ‘easier close’. We then explore how to handle objections when they do arise, and how to help secure the final close

Content & Learning:

• How to minimise objections and achieve an easy ‘close’
• The 4 types of objections.
• Using questions to overcome objections - questions to ask about each objection.
• How to handle each type of objection.
• Asking for the business
• Using questions to close – types of closing questions
• The power of silence

Learning Objectives:

• To understand that a consultative approach can reduce objections through an exhaustive focus on client need and the use of the pre-sell.
• To understand how we prepare and deal with different kinds of objections.
• Understand when to look to ask for the business and alternative approaches to get the best result
