Handle a Specific Objection with a Live Response

Decode what an objection really means, surface the root concern, and generate a response and discovery questions.

About this prompt

This prompt takes a specific objection verbatim and generates a response that addresses the underlying concern rather than the surface statement — including discovery questions to validate the diagnosis before committing to the response. Use it in active deal situations where a standard objection response isn't landing.Objections are rarely what they appear to be — this prompt surfaces the real concern before generating a response to it. Provide the [exact objection text], your [product and deal stage], and [what you know about the prospect's situation] to get a diagnosis of the most likely underlying concern, three discovery questions to validate that diagnosis, a response matched to the real issue, and an alternative response if the actual concern turns out to be different. Use this over a static objection library when the situation is complex enough that a prepared script won't account for the specifics. Tip: use the discovery questions before the response — reps who diagnose before responding handle objections more effectively because they're answering the real concern rather than the one they assumed.
