00:00 - Introduction and Overview
-
Alex introduces a simple objection handling framework he calls the Revolver Method.
-
Claims he has used this framework to close millions in sales.
-
Promises to show a live sales call recording where he closes a $7,000 deal using this exact method.
-
Purpose: simplify objection handling which many make overly complicated.
-
The framework consists of only 8 questions:
-
5 asked during discovery (pre-handle questions)
-
3 asked if objections arise during closing.
-
00:01 - The Problem with Current Objection Handling Training
-
Many sales trainings overcomplicate objection handling with:
-
Long question stacks (e.g., 10 questions or more).
-
Stories or parables that confuse the prospect.
-
-
Alex dismisses these as unnecessary.
-
Key insight:
Objection handling is NOT about mind tricks or Jedi minding the prospect.
Instead, it’s about asking great questions during discovery to build rapport and understanding.
00:02 - The Revolver Method Concept
-
Named for the idea of loading bullets (answers) during discovery via questions.
-
If objections come up later, you fire the bullet (use the answers gathered) to rebut the objection.
-
Goal:
Build such strong rapport and clarity during discovery that objections are minimal or easily countered.
00:03 - Building Skillset: Focus on Discovery Not Objections
-
Sales skill should focus on mastering discovery and tactical questions.
-
When objection arises, salesperson can say:
“I get it, but you’re wrong, and here’s why…” (based on what was learned in discovery). -
Important to humanize the interaction (show empathy) while maintaining authority.
00:03 to 00:04 - The Two-Step Process and 8 Questions
-
Step 1: Ask 5 pre-handle questions during discovery (to load bullets).
-
Step 2: If objection comes, ask 3 closing questions to address it.
-
Only these 8 questions are needed.
-
These questions help understand:
-
Where prospect wants to go.
-
What’s stopping them.
-
00:04 to 00:05 - The 5 Pre-handle Questions (Asked Every Sales Call)
-
Timing:
“How soon are you looking to solve this problem?” -
Commitment:
“Is this something you’re ready to commit to?” -
Solution:
“If we can help you reach X goal and provide Y solution, would you move forward today?” -
Partner:
“Does anyone else need to be involved in the decision (partner, spouse, etc.)?” -
Time Availability:
“How much time do you have to dedicate to implementing this solution?”
- These questions help pre-empt common objections like needing to “think about it,” or “talk to spouse.”
00:05 to 00:09 - Example Roleplay of Pre-handle Questions
-
Alex roleplays a discovery call segment asking these questions.
-
Example answers:
-
Prospect wants to solve ASAP.
-
Prospect is 100% committed if solution works.
-
Prospect can make decision alone (no partner needed).
-
Prospect has enough time to dedicate (e.g., 10 hours available, only 2 hours needed).
-
-
These answers “load the bullets” to shoot later if objections arise.
00:09 to 00:10 - Transition to Pitch and Permission to Proceed
-
After discovery and pre-handles, Alex transitions:
“We can help you get to your goal and provide the solution. May I share how?” -
Prospect agrees; pitch begins.
00:10 to 00:11 - The “Yes, No, or Maybe” Frame (Optional Closing Technique)
-
Alex introduces a simple closing frame to avoid indecisive answers.
-
Only accept “Yes” or “No” answers.
-
Avoid “I need to think about it” or vague answers.
-
-
This frame is particularly useful when prospect mindset or fear causes hesitation.
-
Alex shows an example of a closer named Nico who uses this to great success.
00:11 to 00:12 - Why the “Yes, No, or Maybe” Frame Works
-
Objections often sound like “zombies” during the call – loud and obvious.
-
This frame forces clarity and cuts through indecision.
-
Example phrase:
“There are really three answers you can give me. I only want to hear yes or no. Is that okay?”
00:12 to 00:14 - Step 2: Handling Objections With 3 Questions
-
If objections still arise after pitch, use these 3 questions:
-
Reaffirm the goal:
“Do you actually feel this could get you to X goal?” -
Ask why:
“Why do you feel that way?” (helps prospect verbalize benefits) -
Uncover the real objection:
“When you say you need to think about it, what’s really coming up?”
-
-
This helps the prospect self-sell and clarifies what’s blocking them.
00:14 to 00:17 - Example Objection Handling: Price Concern
-
Prospect says: “$7,000 is a lot of money.”
-
Alex responds by relabeling the objection:
“That’s why you’re here — how much longer do you want $7,000 to be a big deal for you?” -
The goal is to shift perspective to investment for growth, not expense.
-
Next, Alex asks if a payment plan would help.
-
If yes, then he moves to break down a payment plan and close.
00:17 to 00:19 - Handling Partner Objection Example
-
Prospect says: “I need to talk to my wife.”
-
Alex says:
“Speaking to the wife aside, do you feel this can get you to your goal?” -
After they agree, Alex asks what’s really holding them back.
-
Usually reveals underlying fear about money, not the partner.
-
Then relabel objection to “It’s a lot of money” and proceed as above.
00:19 to 00:21 - Payment Plans and Modern Sales Strategy
-
Alex acknowledges traditional sales advice to get full payment upfront.
-
But sales has shifted: genuine conversations and flexibility win.
-
If payment plans help close, use them rather than risk losing sale.
-
Offer multiple payment options and financing if needed.
-
Goal: make prospect comfortable and close.
00:21 to 00:22 - Summary of Revolver Method
-
Step 1: Ask 5 discovery pre-handle questions to prevent objections.
-
Step 2: If objections arise, ask 3 closing questions and fire your bullet (use prior info).
-
Build strong rapport and authority by asking good questions.
-
Objection handling is not complex Jedi mind tricks; it’s genuine conversations.
00:22 to 00:23 - Final Keys for Effective Sales Conversations
-
Humanize interaction: show empathy, don’t be robotic or “right” all the time.
-
Sit in silence after firing bullet:
-
After you respond to an objection, pause and listen.
-
Don’t be first to speak; prospect often agrees during silence.
-
-
Relabel problem and close:
-
Reframe objection (e.g., money concern as digestibility).
-
Ask what payment plan works, then close.
-
00:23 to 00:24 - Live Call Breakdown Preview
-
Alex previews a real sales call where a prospect asks about guarantees and results.
-
Uses the 3-step objection handling:
-
“Do you feel this will get you to your goal?” (Yes)
-
“Why do you feel that way?” (Prospect explains)
-
“When you say you need to think about it, what’s really coming up?” (Fear of commitment)
-
-
No need to push “why” if prospect already gave detailed answers.
-
Relabel and close successfully.
00:24 - Conclusion
-
The Revolver Method closes deals simply and effectively.
-
Avoid complicated frameworks or parables.
-
If interested, Alex offers the framework document and invites DMs for coaching.
-
Final encouragement: learn to sell well and never starve.
