Time required

Two 90-minute sessions with three to five people

  5. 12–13Messaging per segment and the consistency test
  6. 14–15The objection table and the decision log

Page 14 · The objection table

Objections do not get paraphrased. They get written down verbatim and turned in one sentence.

“We already have a CRM, people can see the new contacts in it.”They can see them. What they cannot see is which one goes first.
“I get the idea, but it is very hard to do in practice.”Then the question is not whether the work happens, it is how reliable the result is.
The wording comes from our own project conversations, anonymised and deliberately not smoothed.

This is for you

  • you are a founder, CRO, VP Sales or marketing lead in a B2B software or SaaS company
  • you serve two or more buyer groups
  • the same deck lands with one of them and not the other

Not the right fit if

  • you have exactly one segment and a clear market leader as the alternative. Then the question is settled in an hour
  • you have not found a paying segment yet. Positioning sharpens what works, it does not replace the search for it

Cannot decide the anchor because two segments pull it in different directions?

Then it is no longer a copy question, it is a segmentation question. In a Launchpad we look at your segments and tell you which of the two constraints it is.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my email address?

You get one email with the download. No newsletter, no call, no sequence. If you want to hear from us later, that is your decision.

Is this a copy bank with sentences to reuse?

No. The workbook carries the decisions from which sentences fitting your own company can be derived. Ready-made sentences were written for a different company.

How long does it really take?

Two 90-minute sessions with three to five people. Trying to do it in a single two-hour meeting regularly stalls at step 3.

Do I need this if we already have a position?

Test it with one question: can an AE say the sentence in a call without translating it? Sentences that work in a deck and not in a call are the normal case.
