Handle 'Your Price Is Too High' Objection

Build a structured response to price objections using ROI framing, cost-of-inaction analysis, and value unbundling.

About this prompt

This prompt gives AEs a framework for responding to price pushback without caving on discount. It covers total value positioning, cost-of-inaction comparisons, and rebundling options. Use it when a prospect flags price as a barrier during evaluation or negotiation.Price objections almost always signal a gap in perceived value, not an absolute budget ceiling. This prompt walks reps through five response angles: establishing ROI in the prospect's own terms, comparing the price to the cost of inaction, unbundling the offer to identify what's essential vs. optional, exploring payment structure flexibility, and building a formal business case. If the buyer named a cheaper alternative, it adds a like-for-like comparison, and it returns both a spoken talk track and a written reply. It includes an ROI calculation framework that reps can populate with deal-specific numbers. Fill in [PROSPECT ROLE], [PRICE OBJECTION], [QUOTED PRICE AND TERM], [BASELINE METRICS], [EXPECTED IMPROVEMENT], [OFFER COMPONENTS] and [FLEXIBLE TERMS], plus [COMPETITOR PRICE] if one was mentioned, before you run it; if the baseline metrics are missing, it gives you questions to get them instead of inventing a number. Use this prompt during evaluation and negotiation stages, not early discovery; bringing up price defense too early signals that you expect to be undercut. Practical tip: before jumping to ROI math, confirm that price is the real objection — sometimes it's a proxy for a different concern the prospect hasn't named yet.
