TMCU Mini Course: How to Effectively Navigate Borrower & Referral Partner Objections

Sales objections from borrowers and referral partners can come in many shapes and forms. However, if we look closely, most fall into one of five categories.

Price. This popular objection happens when a prospect says something along the lines of: “Your fees are too high,” “I can find a lower rate online,” or “This isn’t within my budget.”

Authority. In this situation, a prospect claims that they’re not in a position to make a decision. You might hear: “I need to talk to my spouse,” “I have to work with our in-house lender,” or “Let me confer with my agent.”

Trust. Trust issues happen when a prospect questions your reputation. You might hear, “I only deal with people I know,” “I’ve read negative reviews about you,” or “I’m not sure you'll be able to close my loans on time.”

Complacency. The complacency excuse follows the logic of: “This isn’t a priority; I don't need to refinance right now.” and “I'm not in a rush to find a house.” In these situations, you’re likely dealing with someone who resists change.

Competitor. In other cases, a prospect might already have what you’re selling. They might try to end the conversation with: “We have a preferred lender,” “I get a rate discount if I use my credit union," I saw a much lower rate online,” or “The lender we work with pays for marketing leads.”

These objections – while resolute – aren’t deal breakers! Most often they’re simply excuses that prospects use to cover up their uncertainty about you or your company. And so, by removing that uncertainty, you can remove the objection as well.
