An objection isn't the prospect saying no. It's them telling you exactly what they need before they can say yes.
Weak reps treat objections like attacks. Strong closers treat them like a map. Every "I need to think about it," every "send me an email," every "we don't have the budget" is information about the real decision-maker, the actual hesitation, the unspoken fear. The deal isn't lost when the objection comes up. It's lost when the rep stops being curious about it.
What's the objection that taught you the most about closing?
