Objection Handling like a Pro

by Helena Klaus
Mar 19, 2025

Yes... the O-word. The Nemesis of all Sellers. The cause of daily anxiety. The O to the No.

Time to fix this - today!

Ever feel like objections are bullets in your prospect’s gun? 🔫 You finally deliver the perfect pitch, and then—bam!—Manfred from HR hits you with: “I don’t have time for this.” 😒

The key to winning? Take out one bullet at a time.

Here are 3 proven techniques you can use TODAY to turn objections into deals.

#1 The Assumption Technique

Defuse the objection before they say it.

🚀 Example (Cold Call Opening):
"Hi Max, I know you're busy, so I'll get straight to the point."

Why it works:
✅ It makes them feel understood before they even object.
✅ It catches them off guard—instead of you scrambling to react, they’re the ones adjusting.

#2 My Favourite Technique

I have taught this to 100+ Sellers with a high success!

Have you heard of...

Feel - Felt - Found 

Objections aren’t just logical—they’re emotional. This method is Psychology-Backed and rewires their resistance:

✔️ Feel – “I understand how you feel.” (Mirror neurons activate—trust goes up!)
✔️ Felt – “Others have felt the same.” (Social proof kicks in—risk seems lower!)
✔️ Found – “They found that…” (Reframes their thinking—easier to say yes!)

💡 In DACH, where trust is everything, this technique works like magic.

#3 The Wish Technique

We wouldn’t be Sales in DACH if we didn’t bring in the best!

Lars Krüger, a legend in Cold Calling, shares this gem in his Masterclass:
Instead of rejecting their objection, agree with it—and flip it. 

Just as Lars likes to say 'Recognition drives success'

This could look like this:

Why it works: It keeps the conversation open instead of shutting it down.

Sales in North vs South of Germany 🇩🇪
After the D/A/CH edition took off, a bunch of you asked the obvious follow-up: What about inside the different countries?! The North-South / East-West divide is old, real, and still shapes how people do business today! That's why we decided to share a bit more insights into the different countries and start with Germany. ‼️ Disclaimer ‼️ This is a topic we can talk about for years and everyone ...
D≠A≠CH: 3 markets = 3 pitches
Do NOT treat "DACH" as one market with one pitch. Germany, Austria, and (German-speaking) Switzerland share a language, yes, but the Sales Culture does differ! Same words. Different rooms. ‼️Disclaimer: This week's newsletter is based on Conversations with Sales Reps and Research. If you're still not sure, find a Sales Rep in the country and ask them directly. They will have first-hand experien...
Turn GDPR in DACH into your Superpower 🦸
Most Sales Reps treat data protection like a checkbox or push it on to Legal to handle it In DACH, GDPR can be your superpower as it turns you into a trusted advisor rather than a seller. How you talk about data handling during the pitch, not after it, can be the thing that actually wins trust. The research: A representative survey of 2,000 German consumers found this: A third of Respondents sa...
