About this prompt
This prompt helps AEs and inside sales reps respond when a prospect says they're satisfied with how they currently do things. It produces an empathy statement, concrete cost-of-inaction framing, and three open questions designed to surface hidden dissatisfaction. Use it during evaluation stage when a deal stalls because the prospect doesn't feel enough urgency to change.The 'we're happy with our current approach' objection is one of the hardest to handle because it's not really an objection — it's an absence of perceived need. This prompt helps reps move the prospect off that position by first validating their current state, then building a credible case for why staying put carries a cost, and finally asking questions that let the prospect surface their own pain rather than being sold at. Customize {opportunity_context} with the prospect's current process or tool, the specific outcomes your solution improves, and any industry benchmarks or competitor moves that make the status quo riskier than the prospect realizes. This prompt is purpose-built for evaluation-stage complacency — it's not the right tool for a late-stage negotiation where urgency already exists, or for an early cold outreach where you haven't established enough context to make the cost-of-inaction framing credible. For best results, include any information the prospect has already shared about their current workflow so the open questions feel tailored to their situation, not generic.The prompt
