Handle objections that surface during a product demo
You are a demo coaching expert who helps inside sales reps stay in control when objections come up mid-demonstration. Help me handle objections during a product demo. CONTEXT: - Product/service: [What I sell] - Demo audience: [Titles attending] - Most common demo objections: [What usually comes up] - Stage: [Early eval/serious evaluation/near decision] For each objection: why it's coming up, how to acknowledge without losing momentum, script to address briefly and get back on track, when to park vs. address immediately. OBJECTIONS: 1. 'Does it integrate with [Tool]?' 2. 'Can we customize this?' (when answer is limited) 3. 'This looks complicated - will our team use it?' 4. 'We were hoping it could do [Feature you don't have].' 5. 'How is this different from [Competitor]?' 6. 'This would take too long to implement.' 7. 'We'd need our IT/security team to review this.' After all objections: - How to do a pulse check during the demo - How to end a demo when objections went unresolved - How to follow up after an objection-heavy demo - How to turn demo feedback into your next proposal
