“The freeze usually means you dropped price before you locked in value, so now the only thing in their head is the number.”

“You froze because you made their objection about your worth instead of their math. Next time, agree, then ask what it is costing them to leave the problem unsolved.”

“The freeze is the real problem, not the price. I learned that when I froze, I started justifying or discounting, and the prospect smelled blood. Now I'd say, Tell me about that, and let them explain what they're comparing us to.”

“Too high almost never means the number. It means they don't see the value, don't trust it'll work for them, or can't afford it. Your job isn't to defend the price. It's to find out which one it is, fast.”

“I used to panic too, then I realized too expensive usually means I hadn’t tied the price to a problem they were already paying to fix. Now I say, When you say expensive, expensive compared to what? and let the silence sit.”

“I once quoted my highest fee ever for a five-day India tour and the prospect said it was way too expensive. I asked, So where do we go from here? and after a long pause he said, I suppose we'll have to increase the ticket price a little then. Your freeze is the moment to stop talking and hand the problem back to them.”

“I used to freeze on price too, especially early at Gym Launch, until I realized too expensive is usually a smokescreen for fear they won't implement or the offer doesn't feel certain enough.”

“I used to name my price too early and watch prospects go cold, so now I ask expensive compared to what? and flip the call back to the result they actually want. If I freeze, it means I haven't built the value gap before the number came out.”

“I used to freeze too, then I learned too expensive usually means they don't see the value yet or they're the wrong client. I now ask, expensive compared to what? and let them talk instead of defending the price.”
