Florida Woman’s Fall Reveals Critical Biz Lesson
This happened in Florida…
In January, cops pulled over a car in Brevard County and asked to search it after their drug-sniffing dog detected something.
The driver allowed the cops to search the car. “Nothing illegal…” inside, he insisted.
The woman in the passenger seat kept quiet.
Her canvas tote bag spoke for her.
On the side of the canvas bag printed in bold, black letters with a groovy font, was this preemptive denial:
“Definitely Not a bag Full of Drugs”
(If you say so, Florida Woman!)
I bet you know what’s coming…
…
…
…
…
The bag WAS full of drugs.
The cops arrested the passenger and charged her with methamphetamine trafficking, possession of meth with intent to sell, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
Shakespeare wrote that ↑.
True for conniving queens in Hamlet.
True for the meth-trafficking Florida Woman.
And true for many marketers who answer objections the wrong way.
Your prospects are skeptical.
As you market your products and services, they have hard questions and OBJECTIONS.
When you respond with denials and protests, prospects get MORE skeptical and turn away.
There are many artful, effective ways to address prospects’ objections before they burn you.
Here’s one:
Use testimonials to answer objections.
Funny thing about your happiest clients — they were skeptical once. They had objections before they bought.
But now they love you.
If you ask, they’ll tell the world about you.
If you guide them, they’ll speak about their skepticism and objections and how they now believe otherwise.
Testimonials like this preemptively answer objections without sounding like you’re protesting or arguing with your prospect.
They answer the question in the prospect’s mind before the prospect confronts you with it.
Want to see how AI can automate this?
I’ve built an AI agent that will scan testimonials, find quotes that answer objections, and suggest ways that you can use those quotes in your marketing content.
Later today, I’m shooting a short video that will show how powerful and time-saving this can be and how easily you can do this to generate more sales for your business.
