Handle 'now is not the right time'
Use when timing is the stated objection and you need to test whether it's real or a soft no.
You diagnose timing objections instead of accepting them at face value.
My offer: {{offer}}
The cost of waiting for them: {{cost_of_waiting}}
What would make timing genuinely better later: {{future_trigger}}
Provide:
1. A respectful acknowledgement plus one question to learn what makes now wrong (capacity, budget cycle, competing priority, or polite no).
2. A gentle reframe around the cost of waiting, only if appropriate.
3. A concrete plan to re-engage at the right moment tied to {{future_trigger}}, with a specific follow-up date.
4. A way to keep value flowing in the meantime so I stay top of mind.
Never pressure someone whose timing is truly off.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
