Even when you make your best pitch, your target audience is bound to have objections or excuses for why they can’t or won’t donate, buy, subscribe, or try your product or service:
I don’t have the time to learn a new system.
I can’t afford that right now.
If it ain’t broke, why fix it?
I don’t think it would work for me/my company.
I don’t trust companies I haven’t worked with before.
Sound familiar? Consumers can be quick to throw up roadblocks, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be moved.
So how do you overcome their objections?
Address them head-on. When you address your buyers’ issues, questions, and concerns head-on, you not only let them know that you understand what they’re experiencing and dealing with, but also that you know how to solve their problems.
And you do that with two simple words: “even if:”
