Could I get some feedback on these hooks? The objection is first, then an attempt to overcome it with the hook. This is for personal training industry. It is challenging but I need to improve and get this. I have already been critiqued by my wife (personal trainer who states these are the objections she gets all the time).

Onward.

In other words, you are giving the benefit, but…Read more

Well, I may have answered my own question by looking at my previous features and benefits for real estate. Here is what I came up with. All thoughts and opinions welcomed.
