Build a tiered objection-handling script for one objection

Sales & Outreach objectionssales-script

One objection, three responses calibrated to relationship temperature — so the rep doesn't read a cold response to a warm prospect.

Prompt
Build a tiered response script for this objection: {{OBJECTION}}

Product context: {{PRODUCT_CONTEXT}}
What the objection usually masks: (your hypothesis, leave blank if unknown) {{MASKS}}

Produce 3 responses:
- Cold: prospect just heard us out, low rapport. Concise, defensible, no follow-up question yet.
- Warm: prospect has engaged 2+ times. Acknowledge the objection, surface what it might really be about, offer a way to verify.
- Hot: deal is in eval/late stage. Take ownership, propose a structured plan to de-risk the concern, name a timeline.

For each, also list one follow-up question that probes the real concern.
Variables to fill in
  • {{OBJECTION}}
  • {{PRODUCT_CONTEXT}}
  • {{MASKS}}

Why this prompt is structured this way

The prompt is split into explicit steps because LLMs do better when the path is named, not implied. Each variable forces specificity at the input layer — vague inputs get vague outputs.
