Build comprehensive objection handling playbooks — 6-category taxonomy, AER framework, battlecards per competitor, pre-handling in outreach. Use when creating objection responses, building an objection playbook, or preparing reps for tough conversations. Triggers on: "objection handling", "objection", "how to respond to", "they said", "pushback", "handle objection", "what to say when", "objection playbook", or any request about responding to prospect pushback.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Objection Handling

## Overview

Objections aren't rejections — they're information. A prospect who says
"we don't have budget" might mean "I don't see enough value to create
budget." The difference determines whether you walk away or win the deal.

This skill builds a structured objection handling system: a 6-category
taxonomy, the AER framework (Acknowledge → Explore → Redirect), and
pre-handling objections in outreach sequences before they're raised.

## When to Use

- "Build an objection handling playbook"
- "How do I respond when a prospect says [objection]?"
- "Create objection battlecards for our sales team"
- "Prepare responses for common pushback"
- "Handle the 'too expensive' objection"
- "What do I say when they mention [competitor]?"

For **"I need to think about it"** after verbal fit — load `buyer-indecision` (JOLT).
Objections are pushback; indecision is FOMU (fear of messing up).

## Authoritative Foundations

Force Management's Command of the Message framework teaches that objections
reveal gaps in the Value Messaging Framework — if a prospect doesn't see
the value, the Before Scenario wasn't compelling or the PBOs weren't tied
to their specific pain.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/objection-handling@sha256:21634abaad033e74

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
