Dealing with Pricing Objections: Podcast with Charles H. Green on TotalPicture.com
When I talk about trust-based selling, the question closest to the surface for most listeners is:
"What do I do when my client says to me, ‘your price is too high’?"
I sat down with Peter Clayton, of TotalPicture Radio to talk about just that. If you want to settle back and listen, you can hear that conversation in the totalpicture.com podcast interview that resulted.
If you prefer your experience visual rather than aural, you can click below the "Listen to the Podcast" box to read the transcript.
Here’s a taste, beginning with Peter’s intro:
"If you’re like most professionals, you’re not comfortable with selling. It’s not easy fighting the feeling that hyping yourself is somehow inappropriate. And it’s worse when you have to deal with objections, doing presentations, and getting rejections — or waiting for the phone to ring." — Charles H. Green
