Scenario

Respond to "We Don't Have Budget"

"We do not have budget" is not the end of the conversation - it is the start of a different one. Learn the Acknowledge → Probe → Pivot framework to keep the door open, explore creative options, and avoid conceding under pressure.

Goal

Respond to a budget objection without folding. Acknowledge the constraint, probe for what IS possible, and pivot to alternatives that still move you forward.

Framework

Hook → Proof → Pivot
