Understand the concern

After listening to the objections of the customer, understand why the customer has such objections. Those objections may be due to the customer’s previous experiences. For example, if the customer has objections that the insurance companies are not trustworthy, then he must have had a bad experience with an insurance company first which would be the reason for this objection.

Depend on facts

After understanding the objection, tell your customer the facts that are true. End your confusion by educating your customer about facts and figures. Facts and figures show a true picture to your customer and help him forget his preconceived concept.

For example, if your client says that insurance companies are not trustworthy, tell them that the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has control over the companies. This will remove the customers’ hesitation in relying on the insurance companies.

Handle objections with reasonable and reasonable answers

This is the last and most important selling policy that helps resolve objections. After writing all the objections, understanding the concerns, and conveying the facts to the customer, respond appropriately to those objections. For example, if your customer says that they do not need insurance, do not disagree.

To know the financial status of the customer, ask him to check and understand the facts with you. Once you understand his financial situation, you will be able to see the financial responsibilities of the customer and then suggest the appropriate insurance product. When the customer sees that the suggested product meets his financial needs, he will be motivated to buy insurance from you and thus you will handle the objection properly.
