Pest Control

Sell the plan, not just the spray

Your buyer insists there's no bug problem and balks at recurring contracts. Reps rehearse the cold approach out loud, at the door or on the phone, until 'I'll just grab a spray myself' becomes a signed recurring plan.

The cold approach

'I don't have a bug problem'

The conversation opens with denial. Reps practice creating urgency and value before the prospect waves them off, at any difficulty from Gentle to Brutal.

The buyerlive voice

I don't have a bug problem.

Objection depth

Contracts, cost, and the DIY excuse

'I don't want to be locked into a contract,' 'I'll just buy a spray,' 'it's too expensive.' ColdOpen builds that buyer from your own website, prices, and setup answers, with a library of 12 objections from easy to hard, including the one your team hears most. Reps drill the objections that stop the recurring sale.

What you'll master

Every objection, on repeat

Pest buyers brush you off the same way every time. Rehearse each objection against a realistic voice until the recurring plan feels like the easy yes.
