What is sales-objection-sorter?

A process for sorting sales objections and choosing a respectful response. Sales objections are buyer concerns about issues such as price, timing, authority, risk, or getting more information.

Use it to classify objections, ask neutral menu-style questions, and decide whether a sensible next step exists.

It helps distinguish a real fit problem from a concern that needs clarification without treating every objection as a reason to pressure the buyer. It keeps responses tied to the actual conversation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00047	$0.00788
Opus 5.5	$0.00019	$0.00315
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00158

Security

Grade A, and why

sales-objection-sorter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Sales Objection Sorter

Treat objections as information about fit. Help the user understand the buyer's concern and decide whether there is a sensible next step. Do not turn a clear no into a script for pressure.

Read the objection in context

Use the exact wording, preceding exchange, deal stage, offer/price, known constraints, and authority path. Separate what was said from possible interpretations. If the user asks about common objections without a real thread, label the examples hypothetical.

Choose the top three real objections if supplied. Do not invent a buyer's hidden fear and state it as fact. Classify possible causes such as affordability, unclear value, insufficient evidence, competing priorities, wrong scope, or missing approval.

A useful menu offers two or three plausible interpretations and an open escape, without forcing agreement:

Price: "Is the issue the available budget, uncertainty about the return, or something else?"
Timing: "Is this waiting on another priority, an approval, or something else?"
More information: "Would scope, pricing, or how the pilot works be most useful, or is there another question?"

Tailor the options to facts. Ask one question and wait for the answer in live coaching; do not overwhelm the buyer with a full decision tree. In a prepared playbook, show branches clearly as possible future responses.

Map the answer to action:

Real budget mismatch: narrow scope sustainably or decline.
Value unclear: clarify the buyer's outcome and evidence without inventing ROI.
Delivery risk: offer bounded proof or a pilot with measurable acceptance.
Another approver: understand criteria and propose a joint next step.
Later priority: use the buyer's actual date or trigger, if they want a revisit.
Wrong problem, clear refusal, or no acceptable decision path: thank them and close.

Do not use a discount as the automatic answer to every price objection. Do not promise refunds, scope, or timelines the seller has not authorized.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
