They say the price is too high. But price is never really about price — it's about value they haven't seen yet, risk they haven't named, or a budget conversation they haven't had internally.
They're talking to your competitor. The comparison is inevitable but the framing is everything — you're not competing on features, you're competing on fit, trust, and the story they tell themselves about the choice.
The doubt is real but it's not fatal. You're reframing the objection — not dismissing it, reframing it — so that the thing that felt like a wall becomes a door they walk through on their own.
