In this video, Alex Hormozi shares a process for overcoming the objection of a prospect saying they forgot their wallet during a sale.

He suggests asking for their ID, which will likely be next to their payment methods, and then taking a picture of it for trust-building purposes. If the prospect still can't pay, he recommends asking them to pull up their banking app to get their account number or to use Apple Wallet.

If those options don't work, he suggests delaying payment for 24 hours and having the prospect swap out their payment method.

How to Overcome the Objection of a Prospect Saying They Left Their Wallet at Home During a Sale

  • 80% of the time, they will give you the card if they don't have it with them.
  • If they say they don't have the card they want to use, ask them to pull up their banking app or use Apple Wallet.
  • If they can't do that, ask if they have another card you can use and delay the date until they can swap it out.
  • Ask questions to identify the issue, such as if they don't have enough money or if they're hesitant about the program.
  • Assure them that they can still do the program and lock in their spot with the credit card they have on file, and swap it out later.
  • Use these steps to decrease the likelihood of losing a sale due to the "left my wallet at home" objection.
