**STAGE 5: OBJECTION HANDLING & NEGOTIATION (Day 10-20)**

**Common Objections & Responses:**

```
OBJECTION 1: "It's too expensive"
RESPONSE:
"I understand the investment seems significant. Let me 
show you how to think about this differently:

• Your current electric bill: $200/month = $2,400/year
• Over 25 years: $60,000 (with rate increases: $85,000+)
• Solar investment: $56,000
• Net savings: $29,000+ over 25 years

Plus, you have financing options as low as $280/month, 
which is less than your current electric bill. You'd 
actually save money from day one.

Would you like to explore the financing options?"

---

OBJECTION 2: "I need to think about it"
RESPONSE:
"Absolutely, this is an important decision. To help you 
think through it, what specific concerns do you have?

[Listen and address]

Also, I should mention that solar incentives and equipment 
prices can change. This proposal is valid for 30 days, and 
I'd hate for you to miss out on these benefits.

What would help you make a decision? Would it be helpful 
to speak with some of our past customers?"

---

OBJECTION 3: "I want to get other quotes"
RESPONSE:
"That's smart - you should compare options. I'm confident 
our proposal offers the best value, but I want you to feel 
comfortable.

When you're comparing quotes, make sure to look at:
• Equipment quality (not all panels are equal)
• Warranty coverage (ours is 25 years)
• Company experience (we've installed 30,000+ panels)
• Total cost of ownership (not just upfront price)

I'm happy to review other quotes with you to help you 
compare apples to apples. Would that be helpful?"

---

OBJECTION 4: "My roof needs replacement"
RESPONSE:
"Actually, that's perfect timing! Here's why:

• We can coordinate with a roofing contractor
• Install solar right after new roof
• Roof warranty won't be voided
• Solar protects your new roof
• One project instead of two

We work with trusted roofers and can get you a quote. 
Many customers bundle both projects and finance together. 
Would you like me to arrange a roofing quote?"

---

OBJECTION 5: "I'm not sure I'll stay here long enough"
RESPONSE:
"Great question. Here's what you should know:

• Solar increases home value by $15,000-20,000
• Homes with solar sell 20% faster
• Buyers love solar (lower bills)
• You recoup your investment at sale
• Or you can transfer the system to new owner

Even if you move in 5 years, you'll benefit from:
• 5 years of savings: $12,000+
• Increased home value: $18,000
• Net benefit: $6,000+

Plus you'll enjoy lower bills while you're here. 
How long are you planning to stay?"
```

---

**STAGE 6: CLOSING (Day 20-30)**

**Closing Techniques:**

```
ASSUMPTIVE CLOSE:
"Great! Let me get you on the schedule. We have 
availability starting [date]. Does that work for you?"

ALTERNATIVE CLOSE:
"Which package appeals to you more - the Complete 
System or the Premium System?"

URGENCY CLOSE:
"I can lock in this pricing if we sign by [date]. 
After that, equipment prices may increase. Shall 
we move forward?"

TRIAL CLOSE:
"If we could address [concern], would you be ready 
to move forward today?"

SUMMARY CLOSE:
"So you love the system design, the financing works 
for your budget, and you're excited about the savings. 
Is there anything else holding you back from moving 
forward?"
