Objection replies for coaching consults
Objection replies prepare you for the reasons leads give for not starting coaching yet: the price, the timing, trying it alone first, a past coach who did not work out.
What goes in it
Each one has the objection in the lead's own words, a question to ask back before answering, and a short answer under 60 words built from your real client results.
Each answer under 60 words.

Objections
Five items. Each item on three lines: the reason in the lead's own words; then 'Ask:' and the question to ask back; then 'Answer:' and the reply, under 60 words, using evidence from your notes.
When to send it
When to send it
- Before a run of consult calls.
- When the same objection keeps ending calls.
- When you raise your prices and expect questions.
Common mistakes
- Answering before you understand the objection.
- Arguing with the lead's reason instead of asking about it.
- Answers that lean on results your clients never had.
Why it works
Gong's study of 67,149 sales meetings found top performers answer an objection with a question far more often than average reps, and pause longer before replying.

Bring the client's record
Their intake, check-ins and messages, pasted, dropped or imported into that client's record.

It can't make up a number
Every weight, date and figure Fen writes is checked against the client's own words, and a load or macro target is computed from your rules. One with no source is flagged, never guessed.

You decide what goes out
At default settings nothing reaches a client until you press. Email replies go out from your own Gmail when you press Approve and send.
Questions
- What are the most common objections to coaching?
- Price, timing, wanting to try alone first, and a past experience that did not work. Write each in the words your leads actually use.
- Where do the answers come from?
- From your own notes: client results, testimonials and how you coach. A figure with no source in your notes is flagged, never guessed.
