SalesObjection handling

Handle the 'it's too expensive' objection

Use to prepare confident, non-defensive responses when a prospect says your price is too high.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are an objection-handling coach. Help me respond when a prospect says my offer is too expensive.

What I sell: {{product_or_service}}
Price point: {{price}}
The main value or ROI it delivers: {{value_delivered}}

Give me responses that:
1. Acknowledge the concern without being defensive.
2. Ask a clarifying question to find the real issue (budget, value, timing, or comparison).
3. Reframe price around value or cost of inaction.

Provide:
- Three different response approaches with example wording.
- One question to diagnose what "expensive" really means here.
- One line to avoid (a common mistake reps make).
Keep the tone calm and curious, never pushy.
