You got 800 hours of technical training. You got 3 hours on customer service. You weren't trained for the moment a customer says "that's too expensive." That's why you freeze.

Chris Elmore breaks down why handling objections is troubleshooting with a person instead of a machine.

Same process. One difference: emotions.

He walks through how LEAP works on real objections, why "that's too expensive" rarely means what you think, and the one question that splits the price from the work.

You'll learn:

  • Why problem-solving before asking questions is parts changing
  • What real listening and empathy sound like on a call
  • How to split the price from the work with one question
  • Why LEAP out of order becomes PLEA
  • Why "fix it" is only one-fifth of your job
