1. The cold prospect
Open with a stranger who has never heard of you. Build rapport, earn the right to ask questions, and qualify whether the deal is worth chasing.
2. The skeptical buyer
Your prospect has been burned before. Handle scepticism with proof, social validation and patience — without sounding defensive.
3. The objection handler
Price, timing, competitors, status quo — the classic objections in one scenario. Respond with empathy first, then logic, then a clear next step.
4. The discovery deep-dive
A friendly conversation that secretly has to surface budget, authority, need and timing — without sounding like an interview.
5. The proxy buyer
You’re selling to someone who isn’t the real decision maker. Equip them to sell internally on your behalf.
6. The multi-stakeholder demo
A demo to a room with conflicting priorities — security, finance, end user, exec sponsor. Land each message without losing any of them.
7. The negotiation
The buyer asks for a 20% discount. Trade for value, hold the line, and close without leaving margin on the table.
8. The save call
An existing customer is threatening to churn. Diagnose the real reason, defuse the emotion, and rebuild the relationship for a renewal.
