- Lack of expertise – it’s a technical project and I need consulting help since I am not a compensation expert

- Lack of budget – I usually hire a consultant to help me but it is too expensive and we let it slide this year

- Country conditions are volatile – we operate in [country] and the economic conditions there are volatile. We are not sure about the best approach to maintain our scale and stay competitive. Inflation is very high there.

- Corporate/regional support is lacking – our corporate/regional HQ is supposed to help us with scales but they don’t always come through and their approaches are not designed with our markets in mind.

- We are planning to introduce our solution through an invitation-only webinar in a few weeks, including a special introductory offer that will be available only to a small number of clients. Shall I put you down as a potential attendee to our webinar?

Based on the responses of this client, they qualify for our no-brainer funnel.
The next step is to send them a link to our scale design eBook and see if they would be interested to attend our "invitation-only" webinar where we will be presenting an exclusive offer on Scale Design.
Based on the responses of this client, they are not qualified or well-suited to our approach.
Politely end the call, and simply state:
“I’d like to thank you for your time to discuss salary scales with me today. Based on what I’ve heard, I don’t think our new offer would be a very good fit for your organization. If I can be of any assistance to you in the future, please do get in touch.”
Based on the responses of this client, they qualify for our no-brainer funnel.
However, because they said no to being included in our invitation-only webinar, they are not interested at the moment.
Make a note of their response and try to invite them one more time a week before the webinar.
