Handling the cost question during sales calls: Agree with the question, explain the need for an assessment, and emphasize the value of the consultation to determine the exact cost.
When faced with the question of how much your program costs during a sales call, it's essential to handle it elegantly and professionally. Agreeing with the customer that it's a valid question is the first step. Then, explain that providing an accurate price requires a needs assessment or an in-person consultation, just like how a mechanic can't give an exact quote without examining the car. This approach not only avoids giving a premature price but also creates an epiphany bridge for the customer to understand the value of your assessment process. If the customer insists on a range, be prepared to provide a broad estimate while emphasizing the importance of the consultation to determine the exact cost. Overall, this strategy helps maintain control of the sales conversation while ensuring the customer receives the value they're looking for.

When it comes to selling fitness memberships, it's important not to give a price over the phone. Instead, invite potential customers to come in for a consultation to assess their individual needs. This approach is more ethical and builds trust with the customer, as they feel that their specific goals and circumstances are being taken into consideration. By aligning ourselves with this approach, we not only avoid giving arbitrary prices, but also position ourselves as caring and attentive to the customer's needs. This method has been shown to be effective in getting people in the door without offending them, and ultimately leads to better customer satisfaction and retention. In summary, don't give a price over the phone, invite customers in for a consultation, and align yourself with the ethical approach of putting the customer first.
