The trick is to decipher those questions in advance and be ready to handle them head-on. You should be constantly conveying the immense value that you have to offer and how that value can transform the life of your prospect. At the same time, it is very easy to research the individual and/or company online ahead of time. Do your homework and go into the meeting being overly prepared.
Have A High Value Offer
It goes without saying that your potential clients are looking for the best possible offer for your products and/or services. But, it is a great strategy to have a high value offer ready to go. High value offers should completely transform the lives of your clients. At the same time, they show them that you are a key power player in your industry. Whenever you are selling to consumers, having an upsell ready is an effective way to get more revenue.
Make It Personal

Put yourself in their shoes and think about who they want to do business with. Feel free to share things about your personal life, because this establishes a solid connection.
