The interviewer would like to know that you can overcome simple objections from clients. Being the cheapest solution in the market is not necessarily the best answer. Show the interviewer that you can identify the value in their service. How would you show a customer that UPS is the best choice for their shipping and logistics needs? To answer this question correctly, you must have conducted some research on UPS and their competitors. Your answer should reflect the ways that UPS stands out in the industry.

"I do not lean on price alone when I discuss shipping options with my customers. I would overcome this objection by showing the customer all of the value-added services at UPS such as your money back guarantee, the professional environment, as well as the available 24/7 global support. I truly believe that most customers will take service and convenience over cost savings."
