Handling Common Sales Obstacles: What to Say When Someone Tells you They Don’t have the Money or Time EP098


You spend thirty minutes passionately talking to someone about your coaching process, your products, or your networking marketing opportunity only to have them say, “I don’t have the money,” or “I don’t have the time to invest right now.”

Sound familiar? Well it should, because if you are actually trying to build a business you will hear these common objections, or, as I like to call them “excuses.”

If you are hearing “no’s” more than thirty percent of the time, then you need my help.

When you ask for the business, the money, the person to enroll, or whatever you call  it in your world, this is when the true coaching process begins. It is your duty to be of service to the person who is meeting with you out of their busy schedule and in need of your help. It is your duty to help them get out of their own way in order to receive the assistance they desperately need.

Put on your headphones and listen while I take you through a full sales call role-play, complete with these frustrating objections and how I handle them.

What came next required emotional healing, identity work, learning to trust the unseen, and completely changing her relationship with money, success and herself.

Ep 816 Why Do You Procrastinate When You KNOW What to Do?

You know you need to post the content, talk about your offer, hire the help, make the investment, have the conversation, or finally start the thing you’ve been thinking about for months.

You’ve researched it. Planned it. Journaled about it. Asked ChatGPT 47 different ways. And you’re still not taking action.

This isn’t a motivation or discipline problem. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re lazy.

Procrastination and self-sabotage can be automatic stress responses designed to protect you from what taking action might expose you to: failure, rejection, judgment, uncertainty, visibility, and even success.
