In this report I&#8217;m going to uncover the truth about objections, what they really mean, and why some fitness professionals get them all the time.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll get right to the point: 99 times out of 100 an objection is really an issue of value &#8212; or lack thereof.<\/p>\n<p>The three most common objections you probably get are:<\/p>\n<p>I need to think about it. I can&#8217;t afford it. I need to talk to my spouse.<\/p>\n<p>In every single one of these instances your prospect is telling you that they don&#8217;t see value in what you are offering them.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that you&#8217;re not a great trainer. In fact, you may be the best fitness expert in the world, but you failed to show them value of your services as it pertain to them.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what, you still need to know how to sell fitness.<\/p>\n<p>See, unless you can translate your services into their wants (In other words: help them clearly understand it on their terms) they&#8217;ll never buy. Instead they&#8217;ll give you one objection after another.<\/p>\n<p>When a prospect says that they need to &#171;think about it&#187; or &#187; can&#8217;t afford it&#187; what they are really saying is: &#171;You haven&#8217;t shown me a good enough reason to exchange my money for your services. &#187; They simply don&#8217;t see the value as it would relate to them.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a big difference between a person&#8217;s ability to pay versus their desire to pay. Let me say that again in another way because it&#8217;s really important that you get it.<\/p>\n<p>A prospect may have the finances and ability to afford your services. However, if they feel that you don&#8217;t have what they want then they will most likely not have the desire to pay you.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you translate your services into value?<\/p>\n<p>Find the prospect&#8217;s hot buttons, their emotional triggers, and their wants &#8212; that&#8217;s how to sell fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Ask them why they are sitting with you today and not six months ago. Let them do the talking and encourage them to be more specific.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like peeling an onion &#8212; the truth is under all of the layers and you have to peel away to get there. Ask enough questions and soon you&#8217;ll find their hot buttons. When you find those hot buttons then cater your presentation\/consultation to them.<\/p>\n<p>We all make our buying decision based on emotions, then we rationalize it with logic&#8230; but the decision to buy is all emotional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Sell Fitness (a Guide for Personal Trainers) If you&#8217;ve been a personal trainer for any length of time then you know that you need to know how to sell fitness if you really want to be successful as a personal trainer.
