Handling Common Objections

Strengthen your sales conversations with this ChatGPT prompt, designed to help you confidently address common customer objections like pricing, timing, or product uncertainty—turning resistance into opportunity.

What This Prompt Does

Generates persuasive, empathetic responses to common sales objections such as “It’s too expensive,” “We’re not ready,” or “We’re using a competitor.”
Suggests objection-handling frameworks (e.g., Feel-Felt-Found, SPIN selling, or consultative questioning) tailored to your industry, offer, and audience.
Provides role-play simulations and follow-up question templates to guide the conversation toward value instead of pushback.
Helps build confidence and trust by aligning the response with the prospect’s needs, hesitations, and decision-making process.

Tips

Specify the most frequent objections you face (e.g., price, risk, timing, decision-maker delays) to receive tailored rebuttals that feel natural and customer-centric.
Include your product/service type and pricing tier so the prompt can craft realistic responses that align with your market positioning.
Request tone options (e.g., assertive, collaborative, educational) to ensure the responses match your brand voice and your prospect’s communication style.
Use the prompt to create a customizable “Objection Handling Playbook” that your team can use during email follow-ups, sales calls, or demo meetings.
