How to Sell When the Prospect Says They Need to Think About It
from Sales Leadership with Fexingo: Quota Carriers, Sales Managers, and Revenue Teams · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna tackle one of the most common stall tactics in sales: the prospect who says 'I need to think about it.' They break down why this phrase is often a hidden objection rather than a genuine request for time, and share specific techniques to uncover the real hesitation. Lucas walks through a concrete example from a mid-market SaaS deal where a rep used the 'assumptive close' to turn a vague promise into a decision. Luna challenges the approach and offers an alternative script based on the 'Columbo close' — asking one more question at the door. Together, they show how sales reps can differentiate between a legitimate need for deliberation and a polite brush-off, and how to handle both without being pushy. The episode is packed with actionable language patterns and a memorable framework for handling the 'think it over' objection in B2B sales. #SalesObjections #ThinkItOver #ClosingTechniques #SalesSkills #B2BSales #ObjectionHandling #AssumptiveClose #ColumboClose #SalesPsychology #SalesTraining #QuotaCarriers #RevenueTeams #Business #SalesLeadership #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SalesPodcast #SalesTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
