A sales representative has spent countless hours on due diligence to make the appropriate recommendation.

The discovery phase of the sales process is where the sales representative uncovers the customer’s pain points, needs, goals, and challenges. By revisiting the discovery phase, the sales rep can better understand where the objection is coming from, and whether it is a valid concern or a hidden motive. Revisiting the discovery phase can also help the sales rep restate the value proposition, reinforce the benefits of the solution, and address anygaps or misunderstandings that may have caused the objection. The other options are not effective approaches, as they may ignore the customer’s perspective, damage the trust, or create more resistance. References:
