I totally understand. It’s just my job to get you all of this information quickly so you can decide whenever you’re ready.
Push Back: I don’t remember
I understand, it’s my fault I haven’t gotten back to you sooner! We’ve had an overwhelming response in your area, and it’s been almost impossible for me to follow up with everyone.
Push Back: Person Hanging Up
<Interrupt> GEAT, that’s exactly why I’m calling! Stay on the line! I just saved a guy $43 a MONTH, let me do that for you as, it’s just a few minutes. Are you a smoker or non-smoker
</Interrupt>
Push Back: All Other Objection
Yeah, no problem. I only need a few minutes to get you the price you wanted; what you do with that is totally up to you. I won’t try to sell you anything. So, how long have you been looking?
Wow, well, is there any specific reason why you don’t have something in place?
