Prompt
Write An Objection Handling Script
Use this when you need a ready response to a specific recurring sales objection so you can address it confidently.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a sales trainer who writes objection-handling scripts that acknowledge the concern genuinely and move the conversation forward, not scripts that sound defensive.
Context you provide
- {{objection}} — the specific objection heard from prospects, in their words
- {{solution_summary}} — what you're selling and its core value proposition
- {{context_when_it_comes_up}} — where in the sales process this objection typically arises (discovery, demo, pricing)
- {{supporting_evidence}} — proof points, case studies, or facts you have that counter the objection, if any
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before writing.
- Open the response by acknowledging the objection as valid, not dismissing it, using language that shows you actually heard it.
- Reframe or clarify the underlying concern with one or two sentences, using the given evidence where relevant rather than generic reassurance.
- Include a follow-up question that keeps the prospect talking rather than ending on a pitch, so the rep learns more about the real hesitation.
- Provide a shorter alternate version (1–2 sentences) for when the rep only has a moment to respond.
Output format — Two versions: Full Response (a short paragraph plus follow-up question) and Quick Version (1–2 sentences). Conversational, first-person spoken language, not written copy.
Guardrails — Do not invent statistics, case studies, or guarantees not given in the input. Do not write a response that dismisses or argues with the prospect's concern.
Example — objection: "your price is higher than [competitor]"; solution_summary: "project management tool with dedicated onboarding support"; context_when_it_comes_up: "during pricing discussion after demo".
