look <strong>to</strong>o bad. But I had <strong>to</strong> address this right up front, since everyone<br />

in the audience was thinking about it, and there was no way around<br />

it. The truth is, the speaker didn't leave me many options. Everyone<br />

truth is, had this happened <strong>to</strong> a non-experienced speaker, it would<br />

have most definitely killed sales that night.<br />

did it have an impact on sales? In this particular case, it didn't<br />

negatively impact my sales because I was fast enough on my feet <strong>to</strong><br />

overcome the objection. But many speakers wouldn't have been able<br />

<strong>to</strong> overcome that barrier. It could have cost me, and the <strong>REIA</strong><br />

owner, a lot of money in sales that night.<br />
