Why you’re getting blindsided by objections...

And how this ChatGPT prompt can help.

June 27, 2025

Difficulty: Easy | Improved Close Rate: 15-20% | Read Time: 1 min

Before

You strut into a big meeting like Conor McGregor, then get hit with "Your price is 40% higher than the competition" and fumble your response. You dwell on the conversation all weekend, annoyed at what you wish you'd said.

After

You've rehearsed every possible objection with AI before the meeting. When prospects throw curveballs, you respond smoothly and turn objections into closing opportunities.

The Workflow

  1. Prep with ChatGPT ahead of the meeting using this prompt:

"You're a [prospect's role] at a [company type]. I'm selling [your solution]. Role-play 5 tough objections you'd raise, one at a time."

  1. Practice your responses out loud

  2. Ask AI: "How could I improve that response?" after each one

  3. Get curveball objections: "Give me 3 unexpected objections this prospect might raise"

Important: Practice in the days leading up, not 10 minutes before. Your brain needs time to internalize responses.

Why It Works

Yes we know, most people hate it, but role-playing activates the same neural pathways as real conversations. You'll respond instinctively instead of freezing up.
