IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Use transition or acknowledge statements to make the rebuttals / spiels sound natural.
Pause for 1-2 seconds after providing the rebuttal, then go back to the call flow.
If the customer has a different objection after your first rebuttal, use the corresponding prescribed rebuttal on the list below.
If the objection of the customer is not listed below, find the closest rebuttal that is appropriate for the objection.
If the customer has an objection mid-transfer process.
Disconnect the licensed agent's line first.
Provide a rebuttal to the customer's objection.
Re-dial the same extension you disconnected after overcoming the objection.
If there is no rebuttal that fits the objection, COME UP with a rebuttal spiel based on your knowledge of SF Products. Consider the following:
Actively listen what the customer is objecting to / hesitating about.
Your response should DIRECTLY address the point of objection or the main hesitation of the customer.
