Hi _______ [Client Name],
Totally understand the budget concern - and appreciate you sharing that.
In full transparency, our pricing is carefully optimized for the level of expertise, time, and creative work that goes into our process - plus the full licensing rights included in the rate.
That said, I’d love to find a way forward that works for both of us.
👉 Choose a solution from the Objections Handling Guide below
👉 If none of those apply, feel free to wrap with a softer close like:
Best,
________ [Your Name]

<aside> ⛔
Creatives often default to defense mode when pricing objections come up. Here’s what to avoid:
❌ “I can offer a discount if that helps!”
Undermines your value and opens the door to more haggling.
❌ “What’s your budget?” (without clarity)
You risk anchoring to a much lower number before explaining your value.
❌ “I totally understand — just let me know if things change!”
Passive. You’ve now left the door open… and walked away from it.
❌ “Okay, I can do it for $___ instead.”
A price drop without a scope change = you just trained them to expect discounts.
You can hold your rate and show flexibility — without selling yourself short.
