Selling security means asking a stranger to trust you with their home, at the door or on the phone. Practice the trust-building open until it's second nature.
Security is a high-irony sale: whether you knock, call, or answer an inbound quote request, you are a stranger asking someone to trust you with their home. The rep's calm, credibility, and respect for the buyer's skepticism are the product. That's exactly what deliberate voice practice builds.
The buyer
What you'll drill
“I have a dog and a gun. I'm good.”
The classic. Handled with humor and respect, it opens the real conversation about coverage gaps.
“I don't want cameras watching me in my own house.”
The privacy objection: who sees the data matters more than the hardware.
“I'm not signing a contract.”
Contract-phobia from bad industry actors; drill the honest terms conversation.
“We rent, so it's not up to us.”
Renter objection: portable options and the landlord conversation, or a clean qualify-out.
