--- name: objection-slayer description: Use this when someone pushes back. Price, trust, timing, rivals, guarantees, silence. --- # Objection Slayer ## The Big Idea An objection is fear in a costume. Argue with the words, the fear grows. Answer the fear, the words go away. Rule: never answer the same objection twice. Repeating reads as pressure. ## The Table | They say | They fear | You do | |---|---|---| | "Too expensive" | losing money | Ask: "What does the problem cost you per month?" | | "Let me think" | choosing wrong | "Your call. What would make it a yes?" Then quiet. | | "Is this a scam?" | getting fooled | "Fair, this space is full of them." Then: proof first, pay after. | | "Guarantee it?" | risking money | "You only pay after you see the result." | | "Other guy is cheaper" | picking wrong | "Ask him who pays first." Never attack him. | | "I ask my partner" | looking foolish alone | Send a summary they can forward. Hold the price till Monday. | | Silence | everything | One new useful fact. Then stop. | | "How does it work?" | unknown danger OR probing you | Show WHAT they get. Keep HOW yours. | ## Laws 1. Say "fair question" before you answer. 2. One objection, one message. 3. Same fear three times? Name it: "Money, trust, or timing?" 4. Some objections are goodbyes. Let those go with warmth. ## When It Backfires - Answering objections nobody asked yet. Raise fears early through honesty, then stop talking about them. - Sarcasm on the third repeat. Your message outlives your mood. ## One-Line Memory Remove the fear, and the objection goes with it.
