How do you respond when a farmer says ...

"You got beat by 20 bushels this year."

"Do you have any test plot data?" or "Why are you not in the yield trials?"

"I can save $40,000 in seed costs by buying your competitor's cheaper seed."

"It's too early to order. I don't know what I'm going to do yet."

Do You Know the Real Source of All Objections From Farmers?

The Handling Sales Objections Playbook is based entirely on an offensive strategy I call Staying Outside the Circle.

Staying Outside the Circle is a tactic used to keep you, the sales rep, in a leadership position and in control of the sale at all times. The only way objections can be managed, and a positive outcome of the sales call assured, is when the sales rep controls the direction of the conversation.

If you’re not in control, even the smallest objection can take the conversation in another direction—stopping the selling process…

Not only does it leave the sale in jeopardy when an objection is not properly handled, but the entire relationship between the customer and the sales rep can be at risk.

The result may be the eventual loss of a customer.

The reason the staying Outside the Circle concept is so important to understanding how to handle objections is because it identifies the source of all objections farmers give you.

Have you ever wondered where objections come from?

Has it ever occurred to you that if you knew the source of all objections, you could go right to that source and permanently stop its generation?

Look at the two concentric circles below.

The smaller, black inner circle is where your customers’ attitudes are focused.

Thoughts farmers traditionally have when dealing with salespeople always generate from inside the smaller circle. Figuratively speaking, your customers’ minds never leave that circle unless you force them to leave.

Outside the Circle

Remember, they’ve been trained for many years to think that way so it takes someone from the outside—a smart seed/Ag seller—to get them to change.

As long as they are inside the small circle, they will never change how they think.

The Playbook teaches you exactly how to get farmers Outside the Circle!
