**Objection 2: “I need to think about it”**
Response: “That’s smart to think it through. What specific concerns do you want to think about? Is it the price, the implementation, or something else? Let me address those so you have all the information.”
**Objection 3: “I’ll do it myself”**
Response: “That’s possible, but let me ask – how many hours would that take? At your hourly rate, is that really the best use of your time? Most of our clients tried that first, which is why they came to us.”
**Objection 4: “I want to compare with competitors”**
Response: “Absolutely, that’s smart. Here’s what makes us different: [3 unique benefits]. Most competitors focus on [generic feature], but we focus on [specific outcome]. Want me to show you how?”
**Objection 5: “I don’t have budget right now”**
Response: “I understand. Here’s what we can do – let’s lock in the current pricing, and you can start in 30 days when budget frees up. That way you’re not paying more later. Does that work?”
### Worksheet 6: Objection Handling Script
**Objection:** _________________
**Root cause:** _________________
**Response script:**
“I understand _________________. Here’s what I’d say: _________________. Does that address your concern?”
**Follow-up:** _________________
