|
grep -r "pricing" 04-pricing/
|
|

|
## Common Objections & Responses
|
|
|
|
### "Too expensive"
|
|
→ Reframe to TCO and ROI (see `OBJECTION_HANDLING.md` line 50)
|
|
|
|
### "We're happy with current solution"
|
|
→ Uncover hidden pain, ask what prompted conversation
|
|
|
|
### "Need to think about it"
|
|
→ Clarify what specifically, address, set next step
|
|
|
|
### "Can you do better on price?"
|
|
→ Offer discounts in exchange for value (longer term, prepay, case study)
|
|
|
|
### "Competitor is cheaper"
|
|
→ Compare TCO, not sticker price (see `COMPETITIVE_INTELLIGENCE.md`)
