Sales Objections
Definition
Sales objections are concerns, hesitations, or pushback that prospects raise during the sales process that may prevent them from moving forward with a purchase. Common categories include price objections, timing objections, authority objections, need objections, and competitive comparisons. Understanding and systematically addressing objections is fundamental to improving close rates.
Why Systematic Objection Analysis Drives Revenue
Most sales teams handle objections reactively — a rep encounters pushback and improvises a response. The problem is that the same objections appear across hundreds of calls, and each rep handles them differently with varying success. Systematic objection analysis using conversation intelligence reveals which objections appear most frequently, which responses work best, and where reps consistently struggle. For agencies, this intelligence is transformative: understanding that "your price is too high" appears in 60% of lost deals, and that top performers overcome it by reframing value in terms of ROI, gives the entire team a concrete path to improvement.
How Callbricks Helps
Callbricks mines your call archive to identify every objection raised across all conversations. See which objections appear most, how different reps respond, and which responses lead to deal progression. Build objection-handling playbooks based on real data from your best performers.
