Pricing Objection Reply
Handle a prospect's pricing objection with value, scope options, and a clear decision deadline.
Write a concise reply to a prospect who said, "Your price is too high." Use only the information provided below. Do not invent results, testimonials, customer examples, competitor claims, savings, or facts.
Return exactly four numbered paragraphs:
1. Acknowledge the cost concern and accurately reflect the stated constraint: {{budget_constraint}}.
2. Reconnect the price to the specific value metric or ROI driver: {{value_metric}}. Refer to {{product_service}} by name. If a competitor was mentioned, address {{competitor_name}} only using facts supplied here; otherwise do not introduce a comparison.
3. Offer one or two non-discount options, prioritizing scope changes, phased delivery, or timing adjustments. Do not offer a price discount or invent payment terms. Keep the options relevant to {{product_service}}.
4. State a clear decision deadline tied to the required project start: {{project_start_deadline}}. If an exact date is supplied, use it explicitly; if not, do not invent a calendar date, but clearly state that a decision is needed by the stated start deadline.
Use direct business language with no greeting, sign-off, hype opener, politeness padding, social proof, or explanation of your process. Produce only the four numbered paragraphs, ready to send after one light edit.
