I've read where some people are complaining that they are having trouble closing people on the phone. I was in sales for years. I think I'm pretty good at turning them around into jobs, I turn most of my "new" phone calls into jobs.
This is how I handle all of my phone calls, and price objection.
Amazing Carpet Cleaners, this is David.
Yes, I was wanting someone to come clean my ____.
Well thank goodness you called me. I'd be happy to do that for you. I'm free all afternoon tomorrow, can I put you down for, say, 1:00?
Wait, wait how much does it cost?
Well ma'am without looking at it I can't give a firm quote. Has anyone ever cleaned your _____ before?
Yes (if no skip to the 3rd line)
How was your experience?
Crappy! or Fine! blah blah blah.
Great! Well I am a little bit different than most carpet cleaners in town. I'm the owner AND I do the cleaning. I'm fully certified and have done all the research and invested in the best tools to do the best possible job. I never cut corners and I use only approved chemicals and fabric protectors. I don't want to bore you with a bunch of technical information, but trust me when I say, I WILL DO THE BEST JOB.
That's fine David, but how much is it?
(At this point, I usually give them a range, since I've BUILT VALUE in my business over what another business in town might offer)
I'd say on the low end, it would be about _____, that's if everything looks just fine and needs a routine cleaning. On the high end, it shouldn't be any more than _____, but that would be if I need to devote extra time to restoring your carpet to get it just right.
When I get there I should have a better idea of what exactly I will be cleaning. I promise you, before I clean a thing, you'll know exactly how much it's going to be, so there are no surprises... so, tomorrow then? 1:00?
Sure.
Great, I look forward to seeing you then!
Go for the appointment. Always make the customer bring up price. Make them excited about YOU and YOUR SERVICE before you get into any pricing.
