The definition

What Hidden Concerns means in this system

Hidden concerns are the concerns, questions, assumptions, fears, and expectations a homeowner carries into the appointment but has not said out loud yet — previous experiences, things they have heard, things another company told them.

Some of the best objection handling happens before the objection ever reaches the close — because the concern was discovered during Probing & Layering. A hidden concern found at the table is information. The same concern found at midnight is a cancellation.
