Example Output
Objection Analysis
Objection #1
- Category: Price/Budget
- Quote: “That’s more than we budgeted for this quarter”
- Context: After pricing discussion at 18:45
- Rep Response: “I understand budget constraints. Let me show you the ROI calculation…”
- Effectiveness: 3/5 - Jumped to ROI too quickly without exploring budget timeline
- Suggested Response: “I hear you on budget. Help me understand—is this a ‘not this quarter’ situation or a ‘not at this price point’ situation? That’ll help me see if there’s a path forward.”
Summary
- Price/Budget: 2 objections
- Competition: 1 objection
- Timing: 1 objection
Most Critical: Budget objection—unresolved and blocking next steps Coaching Priority: Price objection handling—rep tends to pitch ROI before understanding the real concern
