There aren't many one-size-fits-all strategies in the world of sales. The context is crucial. Complex sales differ from single-call closes. B2B sales are different from B2C. Prospects territories, territories, products companies, industries and sales procedures are distinct. There isn't much gray and black in the field of sales.

With the exception of objections. There is a sense of democracy in objections. Every salesperson must go through a series of Nos before they can reach a yes. Objections don't matter or take into consideration your identity and what you're selling and how you market or if you're novice to sales or veteran. As long as salespeople have asked buyers to commit and buyers have been throwing away objections. For as the buyers' have said that they are not interested, sellers have been searching for ways to get over those no's.

In the tradition of his blockbuster best-selling bestsellers The Fanatical Prospecting as well as the SalesEQ, Jeb Blount's Objections is a thorough and up-to-date guide that challenges your brain and your heart. In his trademark straight-to-the-point way, Jeb pulls no punches and punches you on the head with the hard, cold facts about what's holding you back from closing the sale and achieving your revenue goals. He then draws you into the conversation by providing examples, stories and lessons that will teach you powerful human-influence strategies to overcome NO even the most difficult objections.

The best book ever written on the subject of addressing concerns and objections

Ask any workshop what topics they want covered and odds are handling objections will be one of them. That's why I was so excited when I learned that Jeb Blount's next book would be on addressing objections. Jeb has an amazing streak of top selling sales books - and for good reason - they're excellent. And Jeb's latest book (Objections: The Ultimate Guide for Mastering The Art and Science of Getting Past No) is no exception.

Full disclosure - I am an unabashed Jeb Blount fan and enjoyed speaking with him and others at the amazing OutBound sales conference. Having said that, I read approximately a hundred books a year and I choose to review a very select number of those each year. This is one of those books.

The Art And Science of Addressing Objections And Concerns

I know what you're thinking. With a title containing terms like "objections" and "getting past no" you might be tempted to think this is a collection of tricky comebacks and manipulative techniques to "overcome" objections. It isn't. There are no manipulative approaches that offend your sensibilities. Everything you find in this book will be of service to customers and in alignment with your personal values.

Objections has sixteen chapters that tend to fall into four categories:

- Asking For Commitments

- The Psychology of Objections & Objection Handling

- Models For Addressing Objections & Concerns

- How to Bend Probability in Your Favor

Here's What You'll Learn

Within those four categories you'll learn seven key things:

1. Where your fear of rejection comes from and why it is so difficult to control.

2. How to master your own disruptive emotions and become rejection proof.

3. Where objections come from and why buyers resist.

4. The keys to lowering your prospects' resistance and reducing the probability that you get an objection.

5. The four types of objections you get in sales and when they happen.

6. Turnaround frameworks for getting past each type of objection.

7. How to bend your win probability and put the odds of getting a yes in your favor.

What Triggers Objections?

Most objections are triggered at the moment a request to advance the sale is given. Despite that, it's not the asking of commitments that is the biggest challenge. Rather, because 50-90% of all sales encounters end with no commitment being asked for whatsoever, the biggest problem is not asking at all. Jeb outlines why asking for commitments is the most important discipline in sales. Just because concerns frequently follow when an advance is requested doesn't mean we shouldn't ask. Quite the opposite. The reason you're not getting what you what is more likely because you're not asking for what you want.

Throughout the pages of Objections, Jeb Blount maintains a practical perspective on what can and cannot be accomplished with objection handling. Those seeking a silver-bullet objection slayer for all objections will be disappointed - because there is no silver bullet. However, what you'll find within the pages of Objections is the best collection of models for addressing objections and concerns published to date. At the most fundamental level, professionals need to: Ask, Listen and Be Prepared to address concerns.

Verbal & Nonverbal Communication

A huge percentage of the concerns expressed by prospects are actually caused by sales reps themselves. I was very pleased to find a detailed discussion and tables on upgrading both your verbal messaging as well as well as your nonverbal messaging that will actually prevent many of these objections. This is an area where little changes can make a big difference.

Types of Objections

If you ask sales professionals how many different types of objections there are, most will reply that there are infinite varieties. But this isn't so and Jeb does an excellent job of chunking objections down into a manageable set of four types:

- Prospecting

- Red Herring

- Micro-Commitment

- Buying

He then goes on to offer facilitative turnaround frameworks for each one.

The Psychology of Objections & Objection Handling

Once you come to understand the dynamics around objections, why they happen and how they affect both you and your prospect, you'll be capable of freely adapting and moving in and out of all the models for your own type of sale. This is a valuable aspect of the book. The if psychology bores you, rest assured that the models you learn in Objections will work regardless of whether you understand why they work. But the clarity Jeb offers around the psychology of objections will make you even more effective.

Jeb covers the science of resistance, how they originate at the emotional level and then elaborates why it is that you cannot argue people into believing they are wrong. You will need a more more zen-like approach if you want to actually address your prospect's concerns. This is an important point because people are emotional first and foremost. If we hope to traverse all of our prospect's objections and concerns we need to use frameworks that take emotion into account.

Your Own Psychology

An important part of the psychology of objection handling is how we perceive and react to objections. Objections are not rejection, but they often feel that way. Objections are signs of confusion, concerns, the sorting out of options, subconscious cognitive biases, risk aversion, cognitive overload, and the fear of change. They are part of the human decision-making process and in most cases are a sign of engagement. Objections offers excellent advice and actionable tips on how to change your mindset around getting objections that are beneficial for every sales professional and I dare say when embraced will make you rejection-proof as well.

A Goldmine of Valuable Models

Jeb is very generous sharing the valuable models he has developed for sales over the years. This is the meat and my favorite part of the book. You will find useful models for bringing objections to the surface, activating what he calls the "self-disclosure" loop, addressing each of the four objection types, as well as models for mapping stakeholders in your sale.

Prospecting - This section is a microcosm of Jeb's brilliant book Fanatical Prospecting (which I also recommend). Here the focus is on the objections that surface during prospecting. You'll learn the rule of thirds and his famous 5-Step Phone Process. Within prospecting there are three sub-classes of objections: reflex responses, brush-offs and true objections. What follows is a detailed discussion of how these fall into predictable patterns and how to develop turnarounds for each using his 3-Step Prospecting Turnaround Framework. There are excellent examples and sample dialog here for each.

Red Herring - Red herrings are things prospects do, say, or ask that distract from the real focus of the sales conversation. Following them does not advance the conversation into useful territory for the customer. Here Jeb offers a useful 4-part framework called PAIS to bring the conversation back to what is truly relevant. He has also included here his Call Agenda Framework which, if used, will prevent red herring objections from happening to begin with.

Micro-Commitment - Micro-commitments are a series of low-risk commitments that lead down the path to a final buying commitment and in my opinion employing them is one of the most powerful techniques in selling. Here Jeb offers a valuable and easily-remembered 3-part framework for addressing the concerns or objections that are sometimes encountered when asking for micro-commitments.

Buying Commitments - Buying commitment objections are, of course, the concerns or objections given when presenting the final ask for the business. And here Jeb provides a valuable 5-part framework that universally applicable to every kind of sale. In fact, this one framework alone is worth the price of the book. It's both easy to learn and master.

Shortcut to Nowhere

I think it's important to point out how critical it is to follow a sales process. That's because if you attempt to take shortcuts and skip parts of your sales process you will inadvertently create objections that you cannot get past without going back and revisiting the skipped step. The frameworks presented in Objections are fantastic. But they are not a substitute for your sales process. So even with the tremendous tools added to your kit from Objections, remember this: Selling requires discipline.

Bending Probability in Your Favor

The final chapters bring all these elements together while providing a very motivating shot-in-the-arm delivered in a way that only Jeb can do. It is highly engaging and I think sales teams would greatly benefit from re-reading these chapters once every few months. It's a perfect refresher and team exercise.

Conclusion

I've read every book on objections (many of which are rare and out of print) and Objections from Jeb Blount is the best book ever written on the subject of addressing concerns and objections. If this is an area where you seek improvement (and every sales professional should) save yourself a lot of time and start right here. The full scope of what you need to address your prospect's objections and concerns is right here. I recommend it to every every sales professional in any kind of sale.

The way it is

It took me several years in real estate to learn what Blount teaches in this book. I was a Psychologist and fascinated with sales and human behavior when I got my real estate license (the money was better in real estate). Over the years, I filled notebooks with my experiences prospecting and dealing with clients. My notes could have been the basis for this book. My two sons and a nephew recently entered the real estate investment business and awakened my interest in all this stuff. I started my real estate investment company in my 7th year and hired six "newbies" with no experience. A housewife, two firemen, a park ranger, and others from various backgrounds. Taught them the same concepts and philosophy Blount describes. I retired a rich man six years later based on their success. Started in 1980 and retired in 1986. A Fireman who never earned more than $3,000 a year made $187,000 in his first year with me. Same with the guy he partnered with. The park ranger won our sales contest of a free, all-expense paid trip to Europe after his first year using these concepts. He made well over $200,000 in 1985 money. After I retired, my salesmen went on to great careers. Reading this book is like listening to myself lecturing my "guys" at our Wednesday training meetings back in the "old days". My nephew is having problems interacting with prospective clients and handling objections. I can't help him over the phone. These concepts need to be practiced and I'm 700 miles away. I bought this book after seeing a YouTube video and it blew me away. This is how I taught my agents. My copy of this book is marked up with notes and highlights Now my kids have a textbook to review. I'm sending copies to each of them. If Blount ever starts seminars, I'm going to send my kids. Sales is one of the toughest occupations to master, but you learn what you are worth and the sky is the limit. I'm 77 and retired for 32 years, but I'm still fascinated by this stuff.

Sales Objections Will No Longer Create Dread In Your Mind After Reading This Book

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm a sales trainer and have read 2,000 books on sales related subjects.

There are plenty of books on answering typical sales objections. And nearly every book on selling devotes at least one chapter to the subject. Most books on sales objections (even the good ones) give you standard sales objections, and then a list of pithy one liners or scripted answers. And sometimes these answers really have value.

But they don't teach you the reasons you get objections in the first place. You don't learn the real thinking behind the objections. You don't learn the psychology that make sales objections part of every sales presentation.

In this book by Jeb Blount you get the "Deep Knowledge". The principles that explain the origin of objections, the salesperson's fear of them, and how to use them to your advantage. his is truly advanced training. and any review that says that this is "standard stuff we've seen before" didn't understand the lessons taught.

To be truthful, Blount could have laid out most of what he teaches here on a single sheet of paper. The problem is, the readers would read these deep truths, and just assume they are like every other cursory chapter on sales objections.

This book is over 200 pages. Why so long, for such a limited subject? Because the ideas presented here have to be SOLD to be absorbed. Examples have to be given, evidence has to be presented, arguments have to be convincingly made. And the author does a fine job here.

Sure, you get a few scripts, several lists of questions to ask prospects (worth the price of the book alone), but you also get a deep knowledge as to why you got the objection you did, and why a certain response will work, and why a different one will not.

And yes, some of this can be found in other excellent sales books on objections. But this one goes deeper than ones I've read before. I don't know Blount's actual sales experience (other than training), but it's obvious that he has real knowledge you can only get from making thousands of sales calls, and learning from each one.

This is the kind of book you study.

If you get into enough sales conversations, you will find objections from your prospect. Being able to identify these sometimes tricky objections, understand them, isolate them, and leverage a consistent framework to turn things around, are all massively important when it comes to closing deals. Without this skill, you are competing with one hand and one leg tied behind your back.

Jeb is masterful at taking the complex, art of selling, breaking it down into smaller chunks, and delivering it in a way that is easy to understand and adopt in the real world, in any sales environment. If you want to make target, crush your quota, go on President's club trips, make life changing commission checks, you must read this book.

Does curiosity have you wondering what a red herring objection is? I have been chasing them for years, but not any more! I highly recommend this for you and your sales team.

Jeb takes a topic we tend to avoid and does a deep dive into what objections are, why they arise, how to effectively respond to them. Most people addressing this topic focus on tricks and techniques. I particularly like Jeb's handling of how our mindsets get in the way of hearing, understanding and dealing with objections.

It turns out the biggest challenge is what our "brains" trick us into doing when we encounter objections.

A good read! Well done, Jeb!

The Best Problem/Solution Field Guide You've Ever Seen!

Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

I’m a big Jeb Blount fan, and I’ve read and recommended all his recent books. But with Objections, he’s taken his insights (and research) to another level entirely.

Let me give you an example. Some time ago, in my first career, I was an English prof. I learned and then taught a technique called “explication,” which means “the process of analyzing and developing an idea or principle in detail.” Maybe when you studied poetry, you complained about having to rip the poems apart or find “what they really mean,” and if you were not an English major, you probably didn’t like it.

Well, that’s what Jeb does with buyers’ objections. First off, he puts the objections in categories and gives them names, like “red herrings,”, so you’ll always recognize which kind you’re dealing with. And he offers tons, of examples: I can’t imagine an objection that he hasn’t included! Then he analyzes “what they really mean”; that is, what’s going on in the buyer’s world when he or she is raising that kind of objection with you. Finally, he develops that idea: once you have the analysis, you have deeper insights that help you apply meaningful, effective responses, which Jeb supplies in detail.

Since this is your work, how you earn money--not your poetry class, I promise you are going to like it. A lot!

You’ll learn the four types of objections and how to handle each of them. You’ll understand the power of “the ledge,” a way to calm down and manage your own emotion in the face of objections. And so much more—you’ll just have to read it.

If I’ve made it sound like a reference book, don’t get me wrong. It’s a story book, a gripping novel, a great adventure. You won’t want to put it down! But then you’ll want it next to your phone or in your car or close to wherever you will be when you talk to customers. Get it now.

If You Eat What You Hunt, You Need Jeb Blount

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020

There's a pantheon of sales gurus that every salesperson must be familiar with and Jeb. Blount is definitely in it. I've done a lot of research to figure out which world renowned sales experts I want to invest my time and energy with and it was not hard to decide that Blount is definitely one of the best to invest in.

Objections is one of a kind, and right from the beginning you can tell that Mr. Blount is not going to sugar coat what's needed to succeed in sales. He doesn't give you the same old, "Just get over the rejection dude, toughen up." He gets that there's biology involved. Evolutionary biology. Protection from rejection is a survival mechanism that doesn't just dissipate cause we demand it. We need to accept our brains and bodies with all their chemicals reactions and fight or flight neuro-transmissions and learn to work through our pre-programmed reaction to NO with a new attitude, a perspective, a goal, and with a reprogramming of our bodies and voices and communications.

It's not easy, and will take time, but as Jeb advises: "In the sales profession, you must manage your natural fear of rejection, ask for what you want, and face potential rejection head on. It's not a natural state of being for humans." I'm writing this review on Valentine's Day, and this holiday should help to highlight what Jeb is communicating. Everyone knows how nerve-racking it can be to ask someone you like to be your valentine when you're not at all sure if that person likes you back. Now imagine doing that 50 times a day, 5 days a week, with perfect strangers. Ouch.

I think I'll go search YouTube for more interviews and talks with Mr. Blount and get any of his books I haven't read yet. I'll need all the help I can get. Thank you for the guidance Mr. Blount!

NO OBJECTIONS HERE!

I just read Jebs newest masterpiece Objections. Well, actually I have read twice.

What people do not realize is if you can't master objections, everything you have done up to this point does not matter if you can't handle objections.

People associate objections as something that happens when you are closing. You also have objections when you first contact the customer and trying to schedule a time to meet with them.

Jeb covers every type of objection you can get. What the objection really is and how to handle it. I learned things that I wish I knew 30 years ago.

I have always said "don't be afraid of objections, be afraid if you don't get any instead'. Once you understand them, they are your best friend.

This is a must have book to have in your library and on your desk.

Most business books suck. They have 50 pages of good content, stretched across 250 pages that frustrate the reader and leave a lot of half finished books collecting dust in home offices.

So when a book comes along that I easily read #covertocover, it’s definitely worth sharing. Jeb Blount has written an awesome one in Objections. Easy to read. Insightful content. Realistic scenarios. If you’re in sales, go buy it!

“Listening leads to the outcome you seek...” powerful stuff!! I just finished this great book in less than 3 days of reading and couldn’t put it down! Lots of great lessons to help the customer with their problems and to help the sales rep also!
