"I'm comparing your pricing with another junk removal service that offers a lower rate; can you justify the difference?"
Answer:
I understand comparing a cheaper quote can be tempting and I appreciate you sharing that with me. However it’s important to consider what’s included in that quote. Our service not only covers the removal of junk but we also emphasize safety, responsible disposal and excellent customer service. We ensure that everything is handled professionally, minimizing any potential risks or headaches for you. Many of our clients find that the overall value we provide outweighs the initial cost difference. Would you like to discuss what specific services we offer that set us apart?
Feedback:
The response does a good job of acknowledging the prospect's concern about pricing, which shows active listening. The emphasis on value-added services such as safety and responsible disposal is relevant and demonstrates a solution-focused approach. However, the closing question could be more direct in inviting further discussion, as it currently feels somewhat open-ended. Strengthening the closing technique by directly asking how you'd like to proceed or if they have specific features in mind could enhance engagement. Overall, the response communicates well but could improve on clarity of the next steps.

Our team will work closely with you to assess your current workflow and identify the best way to integrate our service. We can provide support to ensure a smooth transaction. We offer flexible scheduling and can customize our services to align with your regular clean outs, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations. For instance we helped other companies in the same situation as you, integrate our service seamlessly into their clean outs schedule resulting in reduced downtime and improved efficiency. I’d love to discuss your current concern and workflow in more detail to see how we can best support your needs. What specific challenges or requirements do you have in mind?

"Can you provide references from previous clients to support your claims about reliability?"

Absolutely, we would love to provide references from previous clients and out 5 star google reviews are also available for reference. We understand this is crucial for validating reliability. We have several satisfied clients in your industry and I would be more than happy to provide references who can speak to their experience with our services. For instance we worked with another company just down the street from you at Highlands Industrial and Storm Industrial and both of which are similar in size and industry like yours. They faced challenges like being able to work around the equipment and employees and we successfully helped them achieve cleaning out the junk from their docks safely and efficiently. Both of these clients have seen significant improvements in the benefit of having us come clear off their docks of excessive waste. And they can share how our service has positively impacted their operations. I can facilitate an introduction or provide their contact information so you can reach out at your convenience. If there are any specific aspects you’d like to hear about from our references, please let me know and I can ensure they address these points.
Feedback:

However, the response could be enhanced by explicitly stating how these references relate to the specific services or challenges the prospect faces, further reinforcing the relevance. The closing statement inviting the prospect to specify aspects they’d like to hear about is a good touch for engagement, but could be more assertively framed to encourage a response. Overall, this is a solid response that builds credibility and rapport, but it could benefit from a stronger connection to the prospect's specific needs.

Would you like to look at some alternatives together?
Feedback:
This response effectively acknowledges the prospect's budget concerns, demonstrating empathy and active listening. Your approach to exploring options shows a willingness to collaborate, which is key in consultative selling.
