Ten Things to Say or Do When a Prospective Customer Says No

Clarify the No. 


"Is that no right now, no forever, or no I don't like you?"

Identify the No. 


"Most people say no to this product/service at first. Would you tell me which part you are saying no to?" 



Accept the No.

"I understand completely. It worth thinking about first."


Keep talking/listening. 


"I accept your No, Bob. But can we discuss it/keep talking about you?"


Ask a thinking question. 



"Would you tell me where you want to be financially in 10 years, Bob?"


Ask an empathy question. 


"Is it the price, Bob?

Ask a trick question.
