Help me handle "no budget right now." It might be real, or it might be a kind no.
Context:
- Their company size: {{employees / revenue range}}
- Their role: {{economic buyer? influencer?}}
- Deal size we'd be discussing: {{$ range}}
- Time of year: {{e.g., Q4, mid-fiscal}}
Output:
1. **Diagnostic question** — figure out if "no budget" means "not now," "not ever," or "not for this"
2. **If timing-based** — how do I stay warm without nagging? Suggest a specific cadence and trigger.
3. **If priority-based** — what's the question that surfaces what they ARE prioritizing, so I can either fit in or walk away cleanly?
4. **The graceful exit** — when to accept no and move on (vs continuing to push)
Be honest: if my deal size is too big for their stage, tell me to disqualify rather than fight it.objection handlingbudgetqualification
