It's the prospect. If stalls and objections frequently come up in your sales calls, it's a good idea to bring them up before the prospect has the opportunity. If you bring them up first, several good things happen:

* It helps your credibility when the prospect sees that you're not afraid to bring up stalls and objections, even before you're asked. This promotes a feeling of trust.

* You remain in control, not the prospect.

* You can save time and get down to business faster and easier.

The idea is to take three or four of the most common objections--those that you hear most often--and phrase them in a multiple-choice question that prompts the prospect to select one or more.

Having a USP helps make you look like you are on the customer's side and not just out to prey on unsuspecting passer bys. Instead of raving how you're number 1 (like everyone else), you can appeal to their benefits.

If the decision-maker or major influencer in your sales cycle also happens to be the user (either personally or as a supervisor) you need to understand how your product or service will impact on his or her position within the company.
