How do you know what objections your audience will have?
Someone asked this during training last week.
My Answer:
Ask them directly → What concerns do you have? → What's stopping you from moving forward?
Track patterns → Document every objection you hear → After 10-20 pitches, patterns emerge
Research their context → What does this industry worry about? → Check forums, reviews, LinkedIn posts
Empathy mapping → If I were them, what would I worry about? → What's at stake if this fails?
Validate assumptions → Test in conversation → Ask after: What almost made you say no?
You won't catch every objection.
But these 5 methods catch 80%.
And that 80% is the difference between 'maybe' and 'yes'.
