"Just Send Me Some Info": How to Obliterate This
If you’ve spent five minutes in sales, you’ve heard it: "Just send me some info." It’s the sales equivalent of a flat tire – stops you dead in your tracks. But here’s the cold, hard truth: when a prospect tells you to "send me some info," it’s rarely because they actually want more information. It’s a stall, a polite brush-off, or worse, a sign you haven’t earned their trust enough for a real conversation. This isn't a game of sending brochures; it’s about understanding human psychology and steering the conversation back to value. This blog post isn't about chasing unicorns—it's about giving you the raw, actionable tactics to obliterate the "send me some info" objection and turn those stalls into solid appointments. When you master the "send me some info" objection, you've just leveled up your entire sales game.
Real-world scenario
I was fresh out of training, all hyped up, knocking doors for a home improvement company. I'd just given my spiel about energy savings, and the homeowner, a pleasant but busy-looking woman, smiled and said, "That sounds interesting. Can you just send me some info?" My heart sank. I mumbled something about getting her email, walking away with nothing but a vague promise and a gut feeling I'd never hear from her again. That "send me some info" objection felt like a brick wall. I sent the info, of course. Never heard back. Rinse and repeat. It took years in the trenches to realize that my approach was fundamentally flawed. I was reacting, not leading. This isn't just about door-to-door, it's the same with B2B cold calls, virtual demos, or even referral conversations. The "send me some info" objection is universal.
The problem
When a prospect says, "send me some info," they're either genuinely overwhelmed, unsure, or simply trying to get rid of you without being rude. Your presentation probably lacked a hook, failed to establish urgency, or didn't create enough perceived value to justify their time for a deeper dive. You haven't uncovered their core pain points, and they don't see how your solution specifically solves their problems. They're not convinced that investing more time with you is worth it. This request almost always stems from an insufficient discovery process or a failure to clearly articulate your unique selling proposition in a way that resonates with their specific needs. Allowing them to dictate the next steps with a "send me some info" objection is a death knell for your pipeline. It means you've lost control of the sales process. You need to identify why they want you to "send me some info" and address that underlying concern directly, not just fulfill the request.
Step-by-step solution
Don't just roll over when you hear "send me some info." This is where you pivot, re-engage, and regain control.
Step 1: Acknowledge and Validate
First, acknowledge their request. Don't fight it head-on. This disarms them and shows you heard them. They think they want info, so validate that thought, but then immediately pivot.
Step 2: Uncover the "Why"
This is the critical step. Don't assume. They said "send me some info," but what does that mean? Are they busy? Do they need to show someone else? Are they looking for a specific piece of data? Ask an open-ended question to probe.
Step 3: Re-orient to Their Needs (and pain)

FAQ
What's the fastest way to apply this in real calls?
Pick one script from this post, run it 10 times in AI roleplay before your next live call, and only then test it on a real prospect. Reps before reality — that's how top closers internalize new moves without losing deals.
How do I know if I'm actually getting better at send me some info objection?
Track three numbers weekly: sets, closes, and the specific objection that killed deals. If your kill-objection shifts or shrinks, you're improving. The ClosersForge dashboard does this automatically based on your AI sparring sessions.
What if I'm new and the scripts feel awkward?
They will. Awkward is the price of new patterns. Roleplay them out loud 50 times in the gym until they sound like you, not like a script. Then they stop sounding like scripts and start sounding like you with conviction.
