Overview

This free Google Docs template gives a B2B sales team one method for answering price and budget objections. Deals often stall on predictable concerns about cost, so the playbook sets out a three-step response, value framing, the trade-offs a rep can offer, discount rules and ready-to-use call scripts. Each section is short enough to read before a call, and the whole document doubles as role-play material for a sales coach.

The sample is written for Quillon Supply, a fictional software and services company, and shows the kind of answers a rep would give in practice, with approval limits and a weekly practice plan. Its names, prices and results are invented. Replace the objections, scripts and approval limits with your own, then run a practice session before the new wording goes live.

Useful for

  • A rep preparing for a renewal call where the buyer keeps asking for less
  • A sales manager running a weekly role-play session for new hires
  • A team setting discount approval limits before the next quarter starts

What's included

  • A title block and key figures on why price comes up in lost deals
  • Two columns on value framing, with a pull quote and a three-move case
  • A comparison table and scatter chart of options at each price point
  • Discount rules with approval tiers, a trade-off table and limits
  • A weekly role-play schedule with a coaching callout
  • Four-step call scripts with coaching notes, and a guide page

Questions

Should every rep use the same script?

Reps should use the same method, but the words can change. Give each rep the structure, let them rephrase the replies in their own voice, and then check the result in role-play.

Are the company and the figures real?

No. Quillon Supply, its people, prices, discount limits and results are fictional sample data. Replace all of them with your own figures before training begins.

When should a rep escalate a price request?

Escalate when a buyer asks for more than the approval limit, or when the decision is clearly above the rep's authority. Log the request in the CRM the same day so the manager can respond quickly.
