You're good! When a customer emails me that question, I don't respond. I don't want to know why my talents dosen't fit their budget. For that one person that does not pay, two other client's are more than happy to pay me. In my experience, the ones that “haggle” over pricing, are the ones that LOVE to complain about the service and how they paid too much.
Right. There is no worse thing than to give a "money-back-guarantee" to a haggler. You can be sure they will claim to be not satisfied and demand a full refund.
I made homemade mini cupcakes and tried to sell them at work. When I said it was $10 for a dozen they said it was too expensive and they could just buy some at Walmart for cheap. Some people don't understand the time and effort to make baked goods, packaging is not cheap.
my price is high because: I do not want to be competitive...I always strive to add value to your investment I am not competitive, I am reliable and a credible, trustworthy partner who places you, the client on focus My price is high because it's not weighed in kgs but has a book of patents on the product and that's what you are buying, a tailored high quality product and the total life cycle service.
You help me a lot Patrick, currently working as project manager for internet service sales acct in BPO company. All your videos help my team to increase our sales. You're awesome !
Patrick, I learnt a lot from your B2B sales course and implemented in our company Here are some objections that we constantly facing 1- I will think about it or I will get back to you 2- Insecurity or Trust issue 3- Send me more information 4- Prospects ask for price/cost without disclosing enough requirement 5- I have many proposals with the same value but they are very cost-effective than you 6- I would prefer to work with local companies rather than overseas If you could record detailed videos on above objections that would be greatly appreciated.
Objections were in the form of ghosting or being very unorganized. I made a compromise by giving them a deliverable! Then, made my boundaries clear that this would not be my ideal customer to work with & gave an example of my expectations. Some took corrective measures, others remained ghost 👻. But, they received a way to transform their deemed ‘poor’ behavior if they were to eventually have the courage to meet with an investor. I have constructive criticism, regardless if they made the booked meeting or not. Did my best not to demean their character or take it personally! My price point was set & if it is high I delivered a powerful example of: “Showing up anyway if prospect client is not ideal” I loved my pitch whether successful or not !
I work for a security company and one thing I get a lot of the time is I've been a long time customer and I wan't a free upgrade. The company I work for, not cheap, however they are know for there response time and safety devices. Other company's are cheaper on a month to month basis, but the biggest struggle I have is getting them to invest into another security system that has died due to age. 20-30 year tenured customers often refuse to purchase the equipment because either they see what offers "new" customers are getting, and some customers will say the competitor is offering a free upgrade. I would love to know how you may tackle these type of rebuttals, I love watching your videos and it has helped a lot. This is my first sales job.
Hey 👋 Patrick, got a very good knowledge and i was going through this objection but now i have got my answer and now in order to master that I've to implement. So thanks 👍 Patrick for this video.
Hey man, thank you for making such organized, consise videos that get right to the point. You explain things so well and so simlly I already feel like I'm better at sales just watching you!
Me too! Now to apply the confidence. But that will come with time for me. Sales have been my biggest fear. And I’m able to finally face it because of this gentlemen and his simplified and articulate strategies.
Great video Patrick. A number of prospective clients say we love the look of your offer and are confident it represents value, we're committed on our marketing budget for the next X months, let's talk again then.
great tuturial. what happens when there is no return on the money with more money, I mean I trace spyware in computers, so the only thing a client gets is a report with all the findings. How would you deal with objection to price in such cases?
3x ROI, I'll take it! I love your suggestion for how to respond to this question and that you also suggest potentially meeting in the middle because sometimes even when you sell your value, they still push. There are times I do however realize that the drop they are seeking is not worth the value that I know I am offering, so I accept that we are not a good fit, thank them for their interest and move on to the next customer that will see the value.🙊
I would agree with the advice you gave here, but I think where possible this "backtracking" and "reframing" should be avoided. It is much more effective to make sure the value is clear before any objections arise, there is always a percentage of people, especially in certain cultures, who once they make a statement cannot retract it. I love your videos by the way, you have presented so much value and I appreciate you. Best of success!
Agree with you. Im my country theres nothing called word given. They will twist and change anything anytime. In some cultures they do respect ethics and time value etc. In my culture they will shamelessly ask for free work. Or they will tell you simply that hes doing it etc and after dragging you for 6 months giving you appointments etc they will just say they cant do it now. I stopped real meetings before this. Fuck them.....if they want they can discuss and finalize on the phone for the kind of pricing im offering....an entire 4K video production for 250usd and they want me to attend meetings. But they will book a wedding coverage guy without calling him for a meeting, who does nothing but show up with his camera and one or 2 lights and just raw shoot everything, and they pay him $350. LOL
Im a marketing sales rep and have successfully done well until Covid hit and the now most common objection is their business is down due to covid da da da or no money cuz of it etc
Just found you ! and i love the great explanations clearly and quickly. I am in a service industry ( dance lesson studio for children and adults) could use help overcoming objections. 🎉😅
if client say prices are high than expected and we say why do you think our charges are higher? And client says there are some other vendors doing same service and they are cheaper than you Then What should we do steps:?

one frequent objection is something like: your price is too high compared to some other business or freelancer. and that's most likely true, though there are also more expensive guys out there as well. I feel like there's no point for me in trying to compare our value and pricing to those of others.
Hi Patrick, i did find your video very useful. i work in service industry selling group coaching packages..the number one objection i get is the programme is really good and i wish i could do it but i dont have that kind of money. i dont know how to recover from that if they say they absolutely dont have the money..what would be some ideas for this kind of situation. Also how do u increase the perceived value of a coaching programme that increases self love/ confidence
What if we are selling the same products as many other companies but at a higher price. Yes we have many reasons why we are better but when the market is tough and driven by cost savings how do you get around that
Hey Patrick, thank you for the video. One of the major issues that I have recently faced is establishing credibility or building trust signals for a new company. I know the different strategies (website, SEO, social media, etc.), but is there a way where this can be accelerated? Thank you.
if you know specifically what you're looking for, I'd try to find a software (you'll have to pay) that have a database of this info already and export that list.
Same bullshit here too. Just to yank his chain i told a stingy client last week, why doesnt he instead go for a motion graphics film as it would be dirt cheap....and i told him it would cost him only $30, like a social experiment. Just to understand if these fellows are just basic bottom feeders. I was shocked at the answer. He wanted to have a meeting with his peers and CLEAR it and if its ok then i can come meet them and convince his father who is the deciding authority. He will try to get me a meeting LOLLLLLL. WTFFFFFFFF ?????? And he was serious, not yanking my chain in return or anything. I wanted to burn my $2000 edit machine and my $7000 worth of shoot gear and open a tea stall....more direct profit.....lesser bargaining and dealing with self-entitled beggars like this.
Sure. Any anyone can build a website in a weekend. It will be total shit. But you could do it. I can also perform DIY veterinary surgery on my cat. Doesn’t mean it’s the best choice though, does it?
Yes this is a big problem. Due to RUclips in general and telling people they can do it all themselves. Everyone thinks they are a video production company.....bec their cousin has a dlsr. And with the focus being on everyone at home doing AE and PR....their videos turn out to be shit quality..... but bec of misguidance they THINK they can and thats enough to ruin the market for true pros. Recently when i offered a client a motion graphics film for his business , he retorted "why do i need you for that, my iphone has that and it will do it on its own". WTF ??? These companies with their greed and also over competition are blurring the line between shit and sugar put together. Will an iphone app know where to cut what correct music to use for this business and think about his goals and what we should say in the video.....?????? The moron was probably referring to the auto slide show thing....and now this bullshit AI thing, as if AI can take decisions. Like producers will ask Micheal Bay to buzz off and their studio computer will create an original film if they just ask it nicely. Now bec everyone thinks they can do it.... its becoming a sad situation.
I’m late to the game but you have helped me tremendously over that last week with cold calling and actually keeping people from hanging up on me. Lol Im looking forward to mastering that along with those in person pop up prospect visits.
One way I like to price is asking what their current budget is and telling them what I can deliver based on that budget and they can decide whether thats something they wanna move forward with or not
They're most likely not interested. If they do they supposed to have a budget atleast, could be smaller but not 'I don't have '. They have money, just not interested or not convinced
Thank you for this video it’s really helpful I wanted to share with you my experiences with customers and i hope you can help me with this. I’m a freelance model i get charged per hour and customers always telling me that my prices are high,when i know that it’s not true coz i know my value and what I’m offering. So in my situation how can i respond to them without loosing the deal.
A guarantee is a sure way to. Eliminate that objection, you telling them that you're gonna give them a money back guarantee shoukd things go south is a cool one. At this point what your client is gonna see is that you truly believe in what you're bringing to the table.
Using website development in your example of pricing too high, is a really bad example. A professional website cannot be built for 50$ in a weekend. You promoting such information leads to people thinking they can do it all and thus to mediocre websites.
Yes this is a big problem. Due to RUclips in general and telling people they can do it all themselves. Everyone thinks they are a video production company.....bec their cousin has a dlsr. And with the focus being on everyone at home doing AE and PR....their videos turn out to be shit quality..... but bec of misguidance they THINK they can and thats enough to ruin the market for true pros.
I speak to so many prospects and offer a complete video production and charge just $500 for it incl pre-prod (concept+storyboard) + prod (a van load of equipment with drone, sliders, lighting, 4k cams, lenses, complete 4K pipeline production, 1 full days shoot) + post-prod with shot by shot color grading. 15 days of work in total. They done want to spend...even though its a no brainer and every one in his business/competitor has a film. He says our portfolio looks great but this wont help him, he already has good business. So then we tell mom & pop businesses, educate them about video production and how its useful in the current age, they see our portfolio and love it, they acknowledge all their competition has an official profile film, they dont want one, so we give them a collab deal at just $250, they say they will get back and never do. Some say they have a film. They havent got around to using it,,, what a crock of shit. This runs me to believe all these people im talking to, simply are running on fumes and dont have any money to spend, and they are filled with lies all the time, though sometimes i see starightfwd prospects saying they dont want it upfront. Why im upset is all these time wasters will drag you on for 6 months of CALL ME TMRW.....CALL ME ON THE 2nd WEDNESDAY OF THE THIRD MONTH FROM NOW.....CALL ME WHEN THE MOON IS WANING, as if he'll have money by then. A miser is a miser always. Try offering a Mercedez to a poor fellow at $1000 even though its a killer deal he will say he doesnt want it bec he simply doesnt have even that $1000, he knows its a good deal but he cant afford that even.....so just giving value doesnt sell. The above is how business rolls in my country....where they will openly ask you if you will do it for free.... as if his grandfather did so much for my grandpa that is should appease him now. I have only one solid grip in the creative industry.....every fellow i meet is a big liar. BIG freaking lies. Just straight Y/N and even a bugger off, we respect much better. As an experiment i showed one prospect a well designed Mograph designed video and told him ill make the same for him, and just to shoot the breeze for fun....i told him $30 to make it. He asked me time, to discuss with management, the film is good but he needs approval from his family members, as his father is the deciding authority, and if his father agrees i can come for a meeting and CONVINCE HIM. .............WTF LOL !!!!! i wanna get out of this beggar country.

It’s not a price, it’s an investment that you can acquire
my price is high because:
I do not want to be competitive...I always strive to add value to your investment
I am not competitive, I am reliable and a credible, trustworthy partner who places you, the client on focus
My price is high because it's not weighed in kgs but has a book of patents on the product and that's what you are buying, a tailored high quality product and the total life cycle service.

Patrick, I learnt a lot from your B2B sales course and implemented in our company
Here are some objections that we constantly facing
1- I will think about it or I will get back to you
2- Insecurity or Trust issue
3- Send me more information
4- Prospects ask for price/cost without disclosing enough requirement
5- I have many proposals with the same value but they are very cost-effective than you
6- I would prefer to work with local companies rather than overseas
If you could record detailed videos on above objections that would be greatly appreciated.
working on this. thanks for the suggestion!

‘We don’t have the budget’ they see the value but hands are tied because of budget. Any strategy here?

When you say customer are talking about the company your gonna close deal from or regular clients on a call??
I sell intra oral digital scanners how do I sell to some one that says they already have a system. How do I convince them to replace it with mine.
I really need to know how to close the deals for virtual office, VISA services .

One my client shouted me for 3 dollars 😂😂😂
I dont have enough money, My budget isnt sufficient - how can I handle those objections
They're most likely not interested. If they do they supposed to have a budget atleast, could be smaller but not 'I don't have '. They have money, just not interested or not convinced

I wouldn't buy anything from this dude because of his hair... I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face.
I speak to so many prospects and offer a complete video production and charge just $500 for it incl pre-prod (concept+storyboard) + prod (a van load of equipment with drone, sliders, lighting, 4k cams, lenses, complete 4K pipeline production, 1 full days shoot) + post-prod with shot by shot color grading. 15 days of work in total. They done want to spend...even though its a no brainer and every one in his business/competitor has a film. He says our portfolio looks great but this wont help him, he already has good business.

This runs me to believe all these people im talking to, simply are running on fumes and dont have any money to spend, and they are filled with lies all the time, though sometimes i see starightfwd prospects saying they dont want it upfront. Why im upset is all these time wasters will drag you on for 6 months of CALL ME TMRW.....CALL ME ON THE 2nd WEDNESDAY OF THE THIRD MONTH FROM NOW.....CALL ME WHEN THE MOON IS WANING, as if he'll have money by then. A miser is a miser always.
Try offering a Mercedez to a poor fellow at $1000 even though its a killer deal he will say he doesnt want it bec he simply doesnt have even that $1000, he knows its a good deal but he cant afford that even.....so just giving value doesnt sell.
The above is how business rolls in my country....where they will openly ask you if you will do it for free.... as if his grandfather did so much for my grandpa that is should appease him now. I have only one solid grip in the creative industry.....every fellow i meet is a big liar. BIG freaking lies. Just straight Y/N and even a bugger off, we respect much better.
As an experiment i showed one prospect a well designed Mograph designed video and told him ill make the same for him, and just to shoot the breeze for fun....i told him $30 to make it. He asked me time, to discuss with management, the film is good but he needs approval from his family members, as his father is the deciding authority, and if his father agrees i can come for a meeting and CONVINCE HIM. .............WTF LOL !!!!! i wanna get out of this beggar country.
