1 Understand the objection

The first step to overcome a price objection is to understand the underlying reason behind it. Is the prospect genuinely concerned about the budget, or are they trying to get a lower price? Do they have a clear idea of the value of your solution, or are they comparing it with cheaper alternatives? Do they have the authority to make the decision, or do they need to convince someone else? Asking open-ended questions and listening actively can help you uncover the real objection and address it accordingly.

- Provide examples or case studies that demonstrate the unique benefits and advantages of your solution compared to cheaper alternatives, highlighting the value proposition and return on investment. - Remain patient and attentive throughout the process, acknowledging the prospect's concerns and actively working to address them in a constructive and empathetic manner.

In my experience, the more detail you provide in a service quote, the less objection there is to the perceived value of your price... within reason :) Prospects want a good price, but they also want a partner they can trust to consistently deliver value. Price transparency helps demonstrate your expertise, meticulous attention to detail, and strong communication skills.

2 Emphasize the value

The second step to overcome a price objection is to emphasize the value of your solution and how it can solve the prospect's pain points, goals, and challenges. Instead of focusing on the features or the cost of your product or service, focus on the benefits and the return on investment that the prospect can expect. Use stories, testimonials, case studies, or demonstrations to show how your solution has helped other customers achieve similar results. Also, highlight your unique selling proposition and how you stand out from the competition.

For prospects to understand value, they need to understand how you arrived at the price. Ensure you provide adequate detail/granularity in your pricing so that prospects can evaluate how their requirements contribute to overall cost / value.? For service quotes, clearly communicate inclusions, exclusions and assumptions alongside pricing to emphasise your value, and to provide a solid foundation for negotiating scope, schedule and price.

3 Offer alternatives

The third step to overcome a price objection is to offer alternatives that can help the prospect fit your solution into their budget or justify the investment. For example, you can suggest different payment options, such as monthly installments, annual contracts, or upfront payments with discounts. You can also propose different packages or bundles that can provide more value for the money or meet the prospect's specific needs. Alternatively, you can negotiate on other terms, such as delivery time, scope, or warranty, that can add value to the deal.

For service quotes, be prepared to negotiate and iterate quickly through different scope and schedule scenarios to overcome price objections. It’s important to keep track of revisions and communicate changes so that both sides have a clear record of what was ultimately included or excluded for the price. These records should be maintained post win, so that scope changes during delivery can be priced/traded without impacting overall project profitability.

4 Use trial closes

The fourth step to overcome a price objection is to use trial closes to test the prospect's readiness to buy and to move the conversation towards the final agreement. A trial close is a question or a statement that implies that the prospect has already decided to buy your solution, such as "When would you like to start using our product?" or "How many units do you need?" If the prospect responds positively, you can proceed to close the deal. If they raise another objection, you can address it and try another trial close.

5 Know when to walk away

The fifth step to overcome a price objection is to know when to walk away from a deal that is not profitable or aligned with your value proposition. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the prospect may not be willing or able to pay the price that you deserve for your solution. In such cases, you need to assess whether it is worth pursuing the deal or whether it is better to move on to other opportunities. Walking away can also create a sense of urgency or scarcity that can make the prospect reconsider their decision and come back to you.

6 Follow up

The sixth and final step to overcome a price objection is to follow up with the prospect until you get a clear yes or no answer. Depending on the stage of the negotiation, you may need to send a formal quote, a contract, an invoice, or a thank you note. You may also need to provide additional information, answer questions, or overcome objections that may arise during the follow-up process. The key is to stay in touch with the prospect and to show them that you are committed to helping them achieve their desired outcome.
