objection-reframing-nepq

objection-reframing-nepq is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from peterod99/consultant-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,343 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation method for responding to sales objections with curious questions. It helps uncover the concern behind what a buyer first says, such as whether price really means budget, timing, or unclear value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during consulting sales calls, product demonstrations, discovery conversations, and negotiations when a prospect raises an objection.
Why use it?
It avoids arguing with prospects or immediately offering discounts. Instead, it helps reveal how the buyer is reasoning about the deal.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

objection-reframing-nepq 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 11d 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.

Objection Reframing (NEPQ-Style)

When to use

When a prospect raises an objection, don't fight it or discount it. Use Jeremy Miner's NEPQ-style reframing to ask curious questions that let the prospect surface their own logic. Works in discovery, during demos, and in negotiation. Turns objections into discovery data.

The framework

  1. Acknowledge without agreeing: "That's a fair question / concern." Don't say "No, you're wrong" or "Actually, it's not that expensive."

  2. Ask a neutral question: Redirect their objection back to them with genuine curiosity. Let them think through the issue.

  3. Listen to their reasoning: Don't interrupt. They'll often talk themselves into the solution by explaining the objection aloud.

  4. Identify the real concern beneath the surface concern: Price objections usually signal budget constraints, timing misalignment, or unclear ROI. "You're too expensive" often means "I don't see value yet." Push deeper.

  5. Reframe with their own words: Use what they said to position next steps or alternatives. This feels collaborative, not sales-y.

How to apply it

Example 1: Price objection

Prospect: "Your pricing is higher than [competitor name]."

Old (wrong) approach: "Actually, we're the same price if you factor in...": Defensive. Makes them explain why they're wrong.

NEPQ reframe:

You: "That makes sense. When you say higher, have you already decided what functionality you need, or are you still figuring out which features matter most to you?"

Prospect: "Well, we haven't fully mapped it out yet. We're mostly comparing on cost."

You: "Got it. If you did map out what you actually need, do you think the cost-per-feature picture would change?"

Prospect: "Probably. Once we know what we're really solving for, pricing might make more sense."

You: "Would it help to do that mapping before comparing pricing? That way you're not comparing apples and oranges."

Result: You've moved them from price-shopping to needs clarity. Objection dissolved, not fought.
