About this prompt
This prompt produces two versions of a response — an email under 90 words and a spoken script under 60 words — for when a prospect says your solution category isn't a priority right now. It's for AEs and inside sales reps who want to keep the door open without creating friction. Use it in early-to-mid evaluation stage when you've hit a priority objection and need a response that validates rather than challenges.The 'not a priority' objection is almost never a flat no — it's a signal that the prospect doesn't yet see a connection between their current pressure and your solution. This prompt builds a response in two formats: a short email and a conversational verbal script. Both follow the same four-beat structure: validate their bandwidth, ask one non-pushy question about their actual priorities, bridge to your solution if the answer connects, and offer a graceful stay-in-touch if it doesn't. There are no named [VARIABLES] in this prompt — the approach is intentionally generic so it applies across solution categories — but you'll get better output if you prepend the prompt with your solution category and the prospect's stated priority before running it. The email version is designed for AE and inside sales follow-up; the verbal script works as call prep. This is not a closing tool — it's a pipeline-preservation tool. Use it in early evaluation, not late-stage negotiation; if you're in evaluation with an economic buyer and they say this, a different conversation about business case is more appropriate.The prompt
The prospect says '[YOUR SOLUTION CATEGORY] just isn't a priority right now.' Respond in a way that:
1. Validates their bandwidth — don't challenge them on their priorities
2. Asks one non-pushy quest
