RESPONDING TO OBJECTIONS: USING EACH
METHOD
Direct denial That simply is not true. Our product has been rated as the highest
in the industry for the last three years
Indirect denial I can certainly see why you would be concerned about quality.
Actually, though, our product quality has been rated as the highest
in the industry for the last three years
Compensation I agree that our quality is not as high as that of some of our
competitors. However, it was designed that way for consumers
who are looking for a lower-priced alternative, perhaps just to use
in a weekend cottage. So you see, our somewhat lower quality is
actually offset by our much lower price

Referral I can certainly understand how you feel. Mortimer Jiggs felt
the same way before he bought the product. But after using
it, he found that the quality was actually equal to that of other
products
Revisit The fact that the quality is lower than in other products is
probably the very reason you should buy it. You said that
some of your customers are looking for a low-priced product
to buy for their grandchildren. This product fills that need
