  1. A property manager oversees 12 apartment complexes. Positioning your company as a preferred vendor for all 12 rather than a single property is an example of:

    Answer: Key account selling

    Key account selling focuses on growing strategic relationships with high-volume clients to maximize revenue across multiple sites.

  2. When a prospect raises a price objection, the 'Feel, Felt, Found' technique works by:

    Answer: Empathizing with the concern, sharing how others felt the same way, and explaining what they found after choosing your solution

    Feel-Felt-Found defuses price objections by validating the emotion, normalizing it with a third-party example, and sharing a positive outcome.

  3. During a site survey for a warehouse prospect, you identify a loading dock with no camera coverage. You should:

    Answer: Include it in a written vulnerability report to demonstrate expertise and frame your solution

    Documenting and presenting identified vulnerabilities positions the salesperson as a security consultant and supports a custom solution recommendation.

  4. Which of the following BEST describes 'upselling' in a security sales context?

    Answer: Recommending a commercial-grade system to a customer who inquired about a basic residential package

    Upselling encourages a customer to purchase a higher-tier or more comprehensive solution than they originally intended.

  5. A homeowner says, 'I'll just call 911 if something happens.' How should a security salesperson BEST respond?

    Answer: Explain average police response times in the area and how professional monitoring provides a faster, verified response

    Citing local police response time data and comparing it to professional monitoring response times makes the value proposition concrete and fact-based.

  6. Net Promoter Score (NPS) surveys sent after a security system installation are PRIMARILY used to:

    Answer: Gauge customer loyalty and identify dissatisfied clients before they churn

    NPS measures customer loyalty and flags detractors early, allowing account managers to intervene before customers cancel or defect.

  7. Which questioning technique involves asking a series of questions that guides the prospect to reach the buying decision on their own?

    Answer: Socratic questioning

    Socratic questioning uses guided inquiry to help prospects discover the value and urgency of a solution themselves, making the decision feel self-directed.
