I’d rather ask about an objection than argue with it. One prompt helps you reply today, and one helps you see the pattern across the month.
A reply that asks
This prompt acknowledges the objection, asks one question and does not argue. It gives you a spoken version and an email version, because the two sound different.
Write a reply to this objection: “[OBJECTION]”. Acknowledge it, ask one question, and don’t argue. Under 70 words. Give me two versions: one spoken, one for email.
Check before you use it: Read it aloud. If it sounds like a script, change it.
An objection log for the month
One objection is a data point. Ten are a pattern. This prompt groups them, counts them and, for the top three, writes what the objection usually means, your best question and the proof to have ready.
Here are the objections I heard this month: [PASTE]. Group them and count each group. For the top three, write what the objection usually means, my best question, and the proof I should have ready.
Check before you use it: A month of data is a small sample. Use it to guide you, not to conclude.
The catch
Read the reply aloud. If it sounds like a script, change it. And a month of objections is a small sample, so use the log to guide you and not to conclude.
Prompts 7.2 and 7.5 are two of 50 in a set I wrote for the moments in a sales week. A free sample of 10 and the full pack are in the shop.
