The Exact Words I Use to Destroy High Ticket Sales Objections (Worked With 6,000+ Closes)

Brief Summary

This video provides specific strategies and word tracks for overcoming common high-ticket sales objections related to money, delays ("think about it"), and needing to consult a spouse. It emphasizes the importance of a good sales process, a strong offer, and understanding whether the objection stems from logistical issues or fear. The core method involves staying in agreement with the prospect, identifying the root cause of the objection, placing the prospect in an identity that aligns with making a positive decision, and guiding them to conclude that moving forward is in their best interest.

  • Core objections: money, delay, spouse
  • Differentiate between logistical and fear-based objections
  • Place prospect in an identity aligned with positive decision-making

Introduction

The video addresses common objections in high-ticket sales, such as "I need to think about it," "It's too expensive," or "I need to talk to my spouse." Taylor Robbins shares word tracks and strategies used in over 6,000 closing calls. She emphasizes that these objections often mask underlying issues and provides methods to uncover the true concerns.

Caveats to Overcoming Objections

Before diving into specific word tracks, Robbins presents two important caveats. First, a good sales process and genuine connection with the prospect are crucial for uncovering honest objections. Second, the offer itself must be compelling and results-oriented to minimize objections. If the offer lacks value or doesn't mitigate risk, objections are more likely to arise.

Handling "Think About It" Objection

When a prospect says they need to think about it, it could be due to logistical reasons or fear. First, determine if there are logistical hurdles, such as needing to move money or pre-planned commitments. If it's logistical, simply accommodate their timeline. If it's fear-based, put the person into the identity of a decisive person who just needs clarity. Acknowledge their need for clarity but highlight that complete clarity is impossible when venturing into new territory. Then, guide them to recognize that the proposed solution puts them in a better position than their current situation, prompting them to decide to move forward.

Handling Money Objection

Money objections are typically rooted in logistical constraints or fear of uncertainty. First, isolate the objection by confirming that the prospect believes the offer will deliver the desired results. Then, use a forking question to determine if their concern is about whether they should do it or how to make the money work. If it's logistical, explore payment plans, financing, or credit card options. If it's fear-based, put them in the identity of an investor who is willing to take calculated risks for returns. Reframe the offer as an investment in their desired outcome and guide them to conclude that investing is the right course of action.

Handling Spouse Objection

The "I need to talk to my spouse" objection may be logistical or a smokescreen. First, ensure the prospect is genuinely interested in moving forward. Then, determine what information the spouse would need to feel the same way. Flip the script by asking if those reasons would be sufficient if the roles were reversed. Reinforce the idea that they have a trusting relationship and that the spouse would support their decision to improve their situation. Finally, secure an emotional commitment by offering to send the agreement and schedule onboarding, while still respecting their need to have the conversation with their spouse. This allows them to emotionally commit to the sale while still feeling like they are honoring their relationship.

Key Takeaways

The video concludes by summarizing the core method for overcoming objections: stay in agreement, determine if the objection is logistical or fear-based, place the prospect in an identity that aligns with making a positive decision, and guide them to conclude that moving forward is in their best interest.

0:00 All right, these are the exact words I use to overcome high ticket sales objections. So, specifically for the high ticket space. And I know because I use this on 6,000 plus closing calls, like actual sales that I closed. Look, in this high ticket sales space, you you probably have heard these objections like, "I need to think about it. That sounds too expensive. I don't have the money for that right now." Or, uh, "Hey, I need to talk to my spouse." or guys, I've even heard like, "Hey, I'm gonna have to ask my accountant." And we're talking about a person who makes $30,000 a year. So, you've probably heard all of these objections. I'm going to walk you through the core three. Okay, the core three objections are money, delay, or think about it, and then spouse. And I'm

0:47 going to walk through the exact word tracks that I've used. I've been in this high ticket space now since 2013. That's when I started running Facebook ads, selling online high ticket fitness from my own ads. I was then Alex Aros's first closer. I've then started and scaled multiple sevenfigure businesses. I've consulted for a bunch of high ticket sales teams. I've helped recruit, manage, scale, optimize those sales teams. So, that's a little bit of me, but let me give a little caveat before I jump into these actual word tracks and words that I use to overcome these objections that come up specifically in this high ticket space. A little caveat first. Okay. The sales process and like the questions you ask, the rapport that you build, like that is going to get a

1:35 person to be a little bit more authentic and honest with you where like if they have objections at the end, they'll be honest with the objections. Because otherwise, what I found is most of the time these objections that come up at the end, they're just these like scripted replies and responses that prospects use cuz they just don't want your stuff. And then you have to have to train these reps on how to sort of cut through the fat and and pull back the veil to really figure out what the real objection is. So that's caveat number one. If you actually know how to connect with people, you have a good sales process, right? you don't have some crummy stupid script from like 2022. Um, and you're using like this old script to sell high ticket sales. Assuming you have a good script and sales process in place and you ask good questions and you

2:22 did help pre-handle some things and you get to the finish line, you're still going to get these objections. That's caveat one. Caveat two is the offer actually has to be good. So, you might be getting a lot of objections because your high ticket offer is, you know, course access and Facebook group and two, you know, Zoom coaching calls per week. Okay, it's it's just that's not much value to people anymore at, you know, a 5 8 10k price point. So hopefully your offer is really good. It's very resultsoriented. Um it mitigates the risk with some like guarantees or different things like that. But because you have to imagine like if if your kid goes to a doctor and needs a heart transplant to save their life, you're probably not going to have many objections. You're just going to figure out how to get the money, right? So, like assuming they really want this

3:08 thing, it's a good offer, that's going to help a lot. But let's get into the exact words I use with these specific high ticket objections. All right, number one is is think about it, right? So, you get to the end, it's like, "Cool. So, like, how would you like to proceed?" And they're like, "Yeah, you know, this sounds awesome. Let me um let me just give it some more thought and and I can get back to you." Or some version of that, like, "Yeah, let me just think on it and I'll get back." Um, yeah, just give me a few days, right? You do have to understand this objection can be both logistical and it can be fear for sure because it's not really an objection. It's basically like not giving a decision, right? It's not really a yes or a no. It's it's not not giving you the real decision. So, if it's logistical, you you don't want to

3:55 kill a logistical delay objection. What I mean is a lot of times someone's like, "Yeah, just give me a couple days. I'll get I'll get back to you." And then I hear the sales rep go in all these like fear reframes and like challenging and yada yada yada. It's like, okay, had you not done that and just uncovered with a little more discovery that they just needed to move money from one account to another or uh pay off this credit card, get another, or like they can't physically start the service for, you know, 2 weeks because they have a vacation that they already had pre-planned and paid for, things like that, right? So, you do want to at least make sure that you're uncovering if it's logistical. So, for example, like, yeah, I just need a few days. Like, yeah, not a problem. I guess just so I can stay organized on my side. How much time are you think you'll need over the next

4:40 couple of days? Uh, just so I can know, you know, how to best help. And they're like, "Oh, yeah. I think, you know, by Friday is probably good." Yeah. And then you kind of follow up with like, "Yeah, so um are you just needing to like sort out the money or is there like a timing issue?" Like I guess just so so I know cuz maybe I can send you um some additional information like what else are you needing to sort of look at to know if you should move forward or not. And then that usually will give you something logistical or it's going to give you something like this. Yeah, I just honestly need more time. Uh you know, I just need to think it over. So they kind of stay vague and into like, "No, I really just need to think about this." That's when you kind of know it's fear, right? So they give you the thing about it. It's like, "Yeah, no worries. How much time do you need, man? Like

5:26 over the next day or two just so I can stay organized." And they're like, "Yeah, maybe next week." And it's like, "Okay, is there something you need to look at specifically like in terms of like the money piece or like getting started just so I know if we can help?" And then they're like, "No, I just really need to just think it over and kind of look at my options and stuff." That's when you know it's fear-based. Okay. Now what what I like to do is I like to put a person into the identity that I want them to be in, right? Like I want them to identify as a person who does certain things or thinks a certain way. And I do that by framing the the question first. So I frame the the question and it puts them in this identity that I want them to have. But then I asked the question I want to ask, but now they're going to want to be in alignment with that identity that I just

6:12 placed them in, which kind of helps them move this direction. Okay? So, they're like, "Yeah, no, I really just, you know, need some more time." And you're like, "Yeah, I got you. Look, you you're you're probably just wanting a little bit more clarity on this, right? If this is the right, you know, way for you to go." Cuz I I'm sure you seem like like a very intentional and like decisive person. So long as like you're clear on like the direction that makes the most sense for you, you know, to put you in like the best possible position, right? You're like, "Yeah, yeah, exactly. Cool. Well, hey, could could I offer a suggestion like without disrespecting your process with this?" And they're going to be like, "Yeah, sure." And then this is where I need now that I've got them in this identity of like you're really you can be decisive and make decisions. It's just you need clarity. I'm gonna show how like you can't ever

6:58 have full complete clarity when you're making a decision about something new that you've never done. Right? So, you'd go like this. Well, yeah. So, look, based on everything you shared with me today, John, I know it feels clear both to you and to me that like what you're currently doing is not, you know, getting the results that you particularly want, right? So obviously I know like staying in the situation you're in is not something that you're wanting to do which then kind of means like now you're at that crossroads of okay well I need to take some sort of new action and and what direction should I go right and obviously with that any new direction is going to require a bit of faith right because it's one of those roads that you haven't traveled before and so the question really becomes like

7:43 what information do you really need to get as much clarity as you can and then you know using faith move forward in that direction. So, I guess is there any specific information that you need from me that that wasn't discussed today? And if you did a good job, they're going to say, "No, like not really." And then you'd want to say, "Cool. Well, based on what we discussed, then would this put you in a better or worse position?" And they're going to say, "Better position." And then you can now just simply ask, "Well, based on that, John, I guess what do you think then you should do?" And you can see like with my tone and it's kind of like we're monoemano like I'm just having a real authentic talk. They're more likely now to to move forward. Okay. And again why this works

8:30 is because you're trying to put them in an identity that says I can make decisions, right? I just need clarity. But you know there's no such thing as perfect clarity, especially with a road you've never traveled before, right? And so I'm getting them in agreement with that and understanding that and how really the only little missing piece is like information. So then I double down like what specific information then like did we not discuss that maybe I I would need to share and if they say nothing then it's like well based on what we discussed what's going to put you in a better position doing what you're doing or implementing these things and it's like well implementing these things. Okay well based on that what do you think you should do? And again you're putting power in the decision-m back in their court. All right now let's talk about money. Everyone wants to talk about the objection handling for money. And look, typically money is either

9:17 again both logistical or fear. Like it's either rooted in uncertainty or it's very frankly logistical. Like they they they feel like they can't afford it. And so you have to help get them resourceful to use business credit, etc. to get into the program. And so, you know, they're going to say like, "Hey man, I just don't have the money. Ah, it's kind of a lot of money. Oh, it's more expensive than I thought." So, what what we want to do is we want to see if it's logistical first and then we can start wrapping into fear and to figure out if it's logistical. I always just loved isolating and there's different ways or word tracks to isolate, but you would simply just be like, "Hey, um like I appreciate the money piece and you know, happy to to figure that out with you if that's what you'd want." Um I just want to make sure though like this is actually going to get you where you're wanting to go. Do you feel like that's

10:03 true? So, we're doubling down that the results and the value that they're going to get is there. And then we ask him to tell us why. It's like, okay, well, why do you feel that way? Right? And then they're going to start saying the reason. And then I use like this forking question. So it's like, and again, it's an identity thing. So I'd be like, so John, it's it's kind of sounding like your concern is less like if you should do this and kind of just more like how you should do it. Am I understanding correctly? Right. Or so is the concern like less if you should do it and just a little bit more like how to make the money part work. And if they say yes, now it's logistical solving. So it's like I'd be like, "Cool. Well, man, I mean, there's a way for us to to break up the payments or put this into more digestible chunks. Would that sort of help you out?" And then you just start

10:48 having a conversation, roll out payment plans, roll out financing, roll out using a credit card, etc., etc. Okay. Now, if they're like, "Yeah, sort of. I mean, it's kind of both." Like I hear that a lot. It's kind of both. Which which means it's fear, right? So, so now we have a fear money objection. So, they're going to say like, "Yeah, it's, you know, I don't know. It's just kind of risky or it's like, oh, it's just kind of a lot of money." And then, so again, I want to put them in an identity. And then I want to reframe and ask a question to put them down the discourse that I want them to go because I need to overcome uncertainty and overcome fear. And so, I need to build them up. I need to coach them. So, you and you need to stay in agreement. So, I'd be like, "Hey, look, I I I totally get it. None of us just like spending money. But what what we do like to do,

11:34 John, is we obviously we like to invest to see returns, right? And I know that you have an investor mindset and an entrepreneurial mindset. And so you're obviously you're ready and and willing to take on a certain amount of risk in order to see those returns and like have have your life get into a better position. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be here, right? uh you would just clock in for a job, take a paycheck, save as much money as you could, and play it safe. It's just that's that's no life I think either of us would want to live, right? So, could I maybe just offer a suggestion to see if it helps? So, now you're putting yourself in the position of sage, of consultant, of leader, and they're like, "Yeah, totally." And you'd be like, "Well, look, I mean, like, no

12:20 disrespect to you at all if this isn't you, but like are you wanting to live life like an investor and an entrepreneur and like are you are you willing to take on some level of risk in order to to like have bigger results and higher returns?" And they're going to be like, "Yeah, yes, of course." And then you'd be like, well, since you do have a value for investing, I guess would and then you want to insert the service, the result that you're doing, right? So like would investing in your health like to lose the body fat to get more healthy, does that put you in a better position than you are now? Right? And so you're you're bring them back to results-based conversation. You you can even ask specifically with this question. So it's like so look with you having a value for

13:07 investing like how specifically would you like with you investing in your business like to get higher quality leads? How does that specifically like put your business in a better position than it is now? And then they're going to share the reasons why it puts them in a better position. And then you you just simply ask them. So it's like well based on that thought process what what should you do to put yourself in that position? And you're totally letting them have control. You don't want to make it like cheeky and deceptive like well based on that thought process John like what should you do like you don't do it like that. You want to be authentic. So it's like well I mean based on that thought process like what then do you think you should do to to put yourself in that position and then they're going to feel

13:52 better about investing and spending money. But it's because we put them in that identity and then we reframe the question and now they're in a in a different spot. Okay. The third one is spouse, right? I got to talk to my wife. I gotta talk with my partner. Uh sometimes like I gotta talk with, you know, my aunt. And it's like what? What are you even talking about? Um, so what I like to do with the spouse objection, because it can be logistical, like especially if someone's investing in a in like a big investment with like a business opportunity like starting, you know, like a day trading business or a real estate investing business or like whatever it is, you know, like an AI AI automation business, if they're starting a business, like this is a big decision, you know, and like 20 10 to 20K, like

14:38 that's still a good amount. And so like we do want both parties to be to be in it. And that's just my personal conviction. Like being married for 14 years, you know, it's like uh you want to be honorable to your spouse, but you also don't want someone to like abdicate their responsibility onto the spouse cuz they actually don't want to do this. So what you're really trying to do with this objection is uncover if it's a smokeokc screen. So you hear the objection like, "Hey, yeah, man. This sounds great. I'm just going to run it by my wife, you know, and then I can get back to you." You want to stay in agreement. So you'd say this, like, "Yeah, no problem. Obviously, we we want her to feel good about this, too. And I think what's going to help like both of you guys the most, especially her, is is knowing that you really want to do this, right? So, I guess like do do you feel good about this? Do you want to move forward on this? So, I'm re getting

15:24 engagement and buying from them and they'll be like, "Yeah, no, I feel awesome about this." It's like, "Okay, and and why why do you feel good about it? Just so I know. I feel good for this reason, that reason." Right? So then then we can say since we've got buying from them, so we'd be like, "Okay, that makes sense. So I guess what would she need to know then from you to to feel the same way that you feel, right?" And then they're they're going to give some of the reasons or like maybe some of the same the same regurgitated response that they had just given you before. But here's where we want to flip it. And it's like, well, look, to be fair to her, if the roles were reversed, right? And like she was the one looking to do this and needed your support. Like, would those reasons be enough for you? And that way they can have they've doubled their buy in like I feel really good about it. She would need to know

16:10 these things. That would be a good enough for me. So, they've kind of like sold themselves into this again, right? And then we want to put them in that identity of like that they have a healthy trusting relationship where there's going to be support. And is there any reason why there wouldn't be support? So it would go like this. Cool. Well, it sounds like you guys have a really good relationship. There's a lot of trust there, which which I love. That's awesome. And obviously like for you, you know, growing the business right now, obviously that responsibility is going to fall on you. And I know she's going to need to to support you in this. I mean, is there like any reason though at all like that she wouldn't be able to support you in in like making another 20 to 30 grand a month? And this is where like they're going to be like, "No, I I don't I don't think so. There's

16:57 no reason." So, what we're trying to do here is we're trying to turn them into the salesperson for us. So, it's like they they are all in aside from the spouse. What would the spouse need to know? They would need to know these things. If the roles were reversed, would that be good enough for you? Yes, it would. Right. All right. she's going to need to support you because you're the one responsible. Is there any reason why she wouldn't support you? No, there's not. So, I've like I've tripled down on them having buying on this. Now, what I want to do is do an emotional commitment to the sale so that way they still feel like they can have the conversation, but they also are committing to me about moving forward. So, I'd go something like this. Well, cool. Can I can I offer a suggestion then um while still sort of respecting you guys having the conversation? They're going to be like, "Yeah, that'd be great. Cool. What I can do is I can send over the agreement and the invoice

17:43 and that way you can get that taken care of like over the next day or so. But that way, John, like we can get the process started. What what I'd even like to do is actually schedule the onboarding now. That way we can get things moving for you, but still obviously honor the conversation for you and her to have. Does that sound fair? Now, they feel like they are still doing the thing they wanted to do, but they also are convincing themselves and emotionally committing to the sale. And that's why this works well when you try and do these like cute silly like uh overcomes like well it's better to you know ask for forgiveness than permission. It's like doesn't work. So these are like the exact ways and words that I use to overcome objections and get get up away from the words a little bit because even though word tracks and

18:29 stuff are great especially for a rep starting out and to train your reps or for you to to start with these objection handlers like understand the method. The method is I need to stay in agreement. I need to decipher if this is logistical and if it's not, move into fear. And if it is fear, I need to place you into an identity that allows you to put yourself the best position possible. And then slowly get you in alignment with that identity where I'm asking you then what's best to get you to the position you want to be in. And if you use that process, you will just see these objections. You'll start overcoming objections like crazy. If this was helpful, let me know what else what other content you want me to do. Please like and subscribe if you liked it. Uh give me a comment on other content you want me to do. I'm I'm here to serve. I

19:15 I obviously I want to help build sales teams. I want to help sales organizations. I want to recruit and train good sales people. All those things, but I also want to provide value. So, let me know and uh I'll catch you on the next
