Handling the Most Common TFAM Objections

Handling the Most Common TFAM Objections (Deep Coaching)

Purpose of This Lesson

To prepare you for real conversations, not theory.

Objection 1 – “We Already Did Inventory”

What it really means:

• “We solved this once”
• “We don’t see sustainability risk”

Response strategy:

• Respect the effort
• Shift to continuity

Example:

“That’s great. How do you ensure accuracy is maintained after the inventory?”

Objection 2 – “We Use Excel / ERP”

What it really means:

• Comfort with current process
• Fear of change

Response strategy:

• Do not attack Excel or ERP
• Highlight physical vs digital gap

Example:

“ERP manages records. TFAM ensures physical reality matches those records.”

Objection 3 – “RFID Is Expensive”

What it really means:

• They see TFAM as technology, not governance

Response strategy:

• Reframe from tags to risk

Example:

“RFID is only a tool. The real cost is repeating inventory and audit discrepancies.”

Objection 4 – “We Don’t Need Live Tracking”

What it really means:

• Misunderstanding TFAM’s purpose

Response strategy:

• Correct the scope calmly

Example:

“TFAM is about accountability and evidence, not live tracking.”
