ChallengeSales objection handling practice

Practice handling sales objections

Hear a realistic objection immediately, uncover what is behind it, and respond without rushing into a rebuttal.

Your mic turns on when you start.

What you'll practice

A live buyer conversation after an initial pitch, with one concrete objection and follow-up resistance based on what the seller says.

  • Acknowledge before responding
  • Ask a diagnostic question
  • Connect the response to the buyer's actual constraint

What Co-Star evaluates

  • Discovery quality
  • Relevance of response
  • Composure and conversational control

Review focus: Distinguish genuine discovery from disguised rebuttals and assess whether the response addressed the stated buyer constraint.

Who Co-Star plays

A busy, skeptical buyer who has a real constraint and will not accept generic reassurance or feature dumping.

How it starts

The buyer opens with an objection: it looks useful, but the price is hard to justify against what they already have. Generic reassurance gets more pushback.

What you'll leave with

  • A question that surfaces the real concern
  • A response tied to buyer impact instead of features

Questions about this practice

Can I choose the objection?

Yes. Pick price, timing, authority, or competitor, or start with the default realistic objection.

Will the buyer push back more than once?

Yes. Co-Star responds to your answer like a buyer and follows up when the underlying concern is still unresolved.
