Really! I’m glad I took your objections class to get ideas for how to respond to all of these objections! Thanks, Carolyn!

Nice to hear from you, Andrea. And a former Mentorship + Objections client, you’re welcome to join the class again (no charge) if you’d like to hear it live :) You know I’m always adding new stuff!

O.M.G. I totally love how you captured these brilliant objections. I love the crickets.

My favorite:

“I’m waiting for a download before I make a decision.”

I laughed so hard, well, the milk through nose thing… you know how it is with us old folk.

What a brilliant, engaging and motivating me to click video.

Comment by James Z January 27, 2012

That was fun. Can you tell us how to remove the resistance without negative manipulation?

[Reply]

Carolyn Herfurth Reply:

Great question, James. I can absolutely teach you how to remove the resistance without guilting, manipulating or putting the fear of God into your prospect. I teach 4 simple strategies (and 1 Hail Mary) for airing objections while respecting the relationship you’re creating. Check out the live class I’m hosting next week at http://thebiztruth.com/objections.

Comment by L. Denise Jackson January 27, 2012

Carolyn, this is so true…OMG…I can hear the voices! I love the drawings especially the girl with the black bob hair…I always drew eyelashes!

On a serious note, I loved your Objections course I took with you before. You hit the nail on the head each time. I am sure the new stuff is just as targeted to answer the questions and calm the anxieties we have.

Nice to hear from you, L. Denise. I figured an entrepreneur or two might relate!

And so glad you loved the Objections class. (And it’s good to know another eyelash lover :)

2) it’s so true!

Well done, Carolyn!

Hope you are still celebrating your birthday.

Comment by Chellie Campbell February 28, 2012

Oh, man, have I heard versions of all of those in my 22 year career teaching Financial Stress Reduction workshops! Especially, “I have to make more money before I can take a class on how to make more money.” The voices were priceless – just exactly right!

Carolyn, you are a genius. I’m going to share this with everyone I know.

[Reply]

Carolyn Herfurth Reply:

Thanks for chiming in, Chellie! And it’s the same as saying, “I can’t join the gym until I’m in better shape and feel good (or less bad) about myself.”. We humans are funny creatures, aren’t we?

Comment by Paula Gregorowicz March 30, 2012

This video is genius! You hit the nail on the head. The crickets – priceless. The download was great, but the one later on who is STILL waiting for her download, THAT takes the cake.

I will absolutely have to share this.

Great meeting you via phone today!

Carolyn Herfurth Reply:

Mission accomplished, Paula! I got not one, but two laughs out of you. Glad you enjoyed it. Now… time for us to get rid of it. Glad to be working with you.

Comment by Eryn April 11, 2012

Ok, that was pretty dang funny! Not only have I heard probably every one of these, but probably guilty of a few too! BTW, I’m not sure how I arrived on your site… Click after click…after click, and voila, I’m here.

Comment by Gay Edelman July 13, 2012

The best thing I ever heard about selling was this week. It’s my job to let people fall in love with me. But I have to focus not on earning friendship but on soliciting respect.

What I’d love to see is the exact responses to these resistances…I’m new to the site, so if you could direct me to where I might find some? I need to know not only what to do, but EXACTLY what to say. Thanks.

Comment by Linda A.B. Miller August 21, 2012

Download this : Impeccable, inspiring and instinctive! A “must view” for service-based businesses – and so honest in its humor; funny how prospects’ responses are so universal. Thank you for this one, a keeper for my me and my sales team!

Carolyn Herfurth Reply:

Hi Linda – Makes you want to laugh and cry at the same time, doesn’t it?!

Comment by Winnie Anderson December 17, 2012

Too funny. I didn’t realize you were listening in at those networking events I go to :-)
