Objection map
Build an objection map from the product the user described and the objections they have actually heard. A response that the product cannot support is not a response. Some objections should end the conversation.
Steps
- List the objections the user supplied. If they supplied none, draft likely objections and label them "unheard — confirm before using."
- For each objection, write a reply that uses only product facts the user provided, plus one question that checks whether the objection is the real one.
- Mark objections that should disqualify the deal when the product truly does not fit.
- Add the proof that would make the reply believable (a doc, a sample, a lint report). If the proof does not exist, say "proof missing."
- Validate the map: no reply promises a feature that was not in the brief, and every disqualification is tied to a real limit.
Example
User: Product lints skills in a public repo. It does not host private skills yet. Heard objection: "We cannot put our skills in a public catalog."
Agent: Reply — Agentpedia reviews public entries; private hosting is not available, so this catalog is the wrong place for unreleased skills. Question — do you need a private checker, or a place to publish the skills you already open-source? This objection disqualifies a buyer who needs privacy. Proof missing for a private tier, because it does not exist.
Boundaries
Do not tell the user to pressure past a disqualifying objection. Do not invent a customer logo.
