SalesStatus-quo objection

Handle 'we're happy with what we have'

Use when a prospect is content with the status quo, to create a small crack of doubt without attacking their choice.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Script a response to: "We're happy with our current setup."

My product: {{product}}.
A subtle gap or hidden cost in typical "current setups": {{hidden_gap}}.
What changed recently that makes the status quo riskier: {{change_factor}}.

The response should:
- Respect that they are happy (no "but are you really?").
- Ask one disarming question that opens a small gap of curiosity.
- Introduce the hidden cost or change as something worth a quick look, not a switch.
- Offer a tiny, low-commitment next step.

Output the verbal script plus 2 alternative curiosity questions.
