In this episode, host Donald Kelly chats with Marcus Chan, the founder of Henley Consulting Group. Chan shares the Heart Framework to help sales reps can overcome objections.
Heart Framework
Use this framework for any objection thrown your way. For example, if the objection is, let me think about it, start with the letter H for heard. You show them a little empathy and make them feel heard.
Next, have them discuss what is on their mind with the letter E and elaborate on the objection. Simply ask, "Can you tell me more about that?" Marcus provides an excellent example of how digging deeper can help sales reps find the root objection.
After you have them elaborate more, move on to A, aside from that objection. Do they have any other questions or comments that may make them object to the deal?
R stands for reclarify value, meaning you make them tell you why they should take the deal. While they are talking about it, ask them what they like most about it or how they think it can improve their business.
After this, you may notice that they no longer have the same objection, move on to the letter T. The T stands for transition to a close.
You show your potential clients how you can help them overcome their objections. For example, you can include a happiness guarantee within your contract.
Tonality: How does it make a difference?
The way you deliver your message will relay differently to your clients. It helps show that you care about their problem or are just trying to close the deal.
If your delivery isn’t making them feel at ease, their brain goes into fight or flight mode. By making them comfortable with your tone, they’re less likely to do this and more likely to listen to what you say.
Why don't most sellers ask more questions?
Often it's due to fear of not knowing what to say in case of an objection. However, some sellers are more worried about getting the sales as quickly as possible.
Don't make the mistake of offering discounts and using closing tactics immediately. You're causing more problems and avoiding finding the real objection.
Instead of rushing, take your time and conversate with the potential buyer. Eventually, they'll open up and tell you everything you need to know.
Do you want to start practicing the HEART framework?
If you listen to the end, Marcus shares a detailed step-by-step for BDRs. It’s pretty simple, and you’ll probably have tons of fun while practicing the framework. Doing it daily will help you become great at using the HEART framework.
