Sales Objection Responses
A prompt for generating structured sales-objection responses across five methods (Feel-Felt-Found, question-based, reframe, social proof, direct address), plus ready-made frameworks for five common objections under the LAER model. Use it when a rep needs a specific objection-handling response for a live deal, not as a full sales-methodology or discovery-call script.
What it does
This prompt generates compelling, structured responses to sales objections designed to advance a deal rather than stall it. Given the exact objection phrase plus context - product/service, deal stage (Discovery/Demo/Proposal/Negotiation), prospect type and company size, and the likely root cause behind the objection - it produces responses using five methods: Feel-Felt-Found, a question-based response that digs deeper, a reframe approach, a social-proof response, and a direct-address response.
It also documents ready-made frameworks for five common objections: "It's too expensive" (a reframe questioning the cost of inaction, plus a value-math calculation tying the price to required ROI), "We're happy with our current solution" (a curiosity-based question about what they'd improve), "I need to think about it" (a clarifying question about which specific aspects they're weighing), "Send me more information" (a qualifying question about what information would actually help their decision), and "Not right now" (a timeline question about what would need to change to make it a priority). All of these are tied together by the LAER framework: Listen fully, Acknowledge the objection, Explore it with questions, and Respond to the real concern.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when a salesperson needs a structured response to a specific objection during a live or upcoming conversation - a price-based pushback, a status-quo defense, a stall, an information request, or a timing objection. It is not a full sales-methodology or discovery-call script - it is scoped to objection handling specifically, assuming the deal context is already known.
Inputs and outputs
Input is the exact objection phrase plus deal context (product, stage, prospect type, likely root cause). Output is a set of responses generated across the five response methods, or - for the five documented common objections - a ready-made reframe, curiosity, clarify, qualify, or timeline response plus the underlying LAER structure.
Who it's for
Sales reps and sales enablement teams preparing objection-handling responses for live deals.

Common Objections & Frameworks
"It's too expensive"
Reframe: "I understand budget is important. Let me ask-what's the cost of not solving [problem] for another quarter?"
Value Math: "At $X/month, you'd need to [achieve specific result] to see ROI. Based on what you shared, that seems very achievable. Does that math work for you?"
"We're happy with our current solution"
Curiosity: "That's great-what do you like most about it? ...And if you could wave a magic wand and improve one thing?"
"I need to think about it"
Clarify: "Absolutely, this is an important decision. To help you think it through-what specific aspects are you weighing?"
"Send me more information"
Qualify: "Happy to-what specific information would be most helpful? I want to send exactly what you need for your decision."
"Not right now"
Timeline: "I hear you. When you say 'not right now,' what would need to change for this to become a priority?"
Response Framework: LAER
- Listen: Fully hear the objection
- Acknowledge: Show understanding
- Explore: Ask questions to understand
- Respond: Address the real concern
