Template Body

Objection Handling Responses
**"We already have a solution"**
I completely understand. Many of our manufacturing clients felt the same way before they saw how Optifai integrates with existing systems. What if I showed you how we helped [similar company] reduce their response time by 40% without replacing their current tools?

**"It's too expensive"**
I hear you on budget concerns. Let me share some numbers: our average manufacturing client sees ROI within 60 days through reduced manual follow-up time alone. Would it help if I walked you through a quick ROI calculation based on your team size?

**"We need to think about it"**
Of course, this is an important decision. To help you think it through, what specific concerns would you want addressed? I can send you relevant case studies from [their industry segment] that might answer those questions.

**"Send me some information"**
Happy to send materials. To make sure I send the most relevant information, can you tell me: what's the biggest challenge your sales team faces with follow-up right now? That way I can include specific examples that address that.
