"Hey Siri, I'm looking for …..."  The virtual voice assistant from Apple responds, "Based on your current location, here are a few top-rated selections…."

Does Siri include your business in the response? If it doesn't, you probably haven't optimized your business for excellent visibility on Apple Maps!  While Google Maps reigns supreme for navigation use, attracting an estimated 67 percent of navigation app users, Apple Maps is competitive with 1.3 billion active Apple devices in the world. Suffice to say, Apple Maps is a viable customer acquisition tool for your business. And an effective strategy you’ll want to fit into your local search strategy.

You dial the phone only to be met with “I need some time to think about it,” “I like your solution, but I don’t think it’ll work for us,” or the stale closing “Just send me some information.” You’re facing a sales objection.  Nearly every prospect has a hesitation or drawback that keeps them from signing on the “dotted line.”  It’s called winning a sale for a reason, and buyer objections are a natural part of the sales process. How you approach the objection is can be the difference between gaining a new customer and losing an opportunity.

Where to Start

Let’s get into what a “sales objection” is:

“Sales objections are issues that prospects communicate to sales professionals as reasons why they can't buy a product or service from them. Objections aren't always hard "no"s, and they can sometimes represent opportunities for sales reps to clarify any misconceptions about the product or service to try to qualify the prospect and close the sale.” - HubSpot

These objections don’t mean that a deal is dead in the water, so let me provide you with some of the types objections that plenty of us in sales roles will face or have faced and some tips on how to best respond.

• Prehistoric Objection
• Price Objection
• Urgency Objection
• Authority Objection
• Trust Objection
