Today&#8217;s tip comes from Florin Tatulea. Florin is a passionate sales leader who lives and breathes all things sales development. He&#8217;s currently leading a team of SDRs at Loopio. Here he is:<\/p>\n<p>Florin Tatulea: Another very common objection that most SDRs receive is, especially if you&#8217;re in a competitive market is, you know, we already have a vendor in place and are happy. So a couple of things you are framework I use, but you know, first you wanna acknowledge and disarm the objection. Then you want to provide the answer to the burning question. Why should they bother taking a look at you? And then three, going for the no, as Chris Voss says.<\/p>\n<p>So it kind of looks something like this, if they tell you that they already have a veteran&#8217;s place. You know, Scott, I&#8217;m glad to hear that you have a veteran place to help you with that. At this point, we aren&#8217;t asking you to rip anything out. A lot of our customers used to, or still use competitor X. We just liked the opportunity to show you how we&#8217;re different and how we provide additional value to our customers. Would it be a terrible idea to hear some ideas on how we could help with X?<\/p>\n<p>Scott Ingram: To connect with Florin on LinkedIn where he regularly posts really valuable insights like these and for a link to his episode on Sales Success Stories from when he was the top-performing SDR at Loopio himself, just click over to <a href=\"http:\/\/DailySales.Tips\/789\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DailySales.Tips\/789<\/a> and we&#8217;ll have those links for you there.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve checked that out. Be sure to come back tomorrow for another great sales tip. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We just liked the opportunity to show you how we&#8217;re different and how we provide additional value to our customers.&#8221; &#8211; Florin Tatulea in today&#8217;s Tip 789 How do you handle the &#8220;We use a competitor&#8221; objection?
