When to use this
Your pricing page is live, conversion from that page is flat or you suspect people bounce there, and you want a systematic check against the objections buyers actually raise on sales calls or in lost-deal notes, not a generic "make the copy punchier" pass.
The pattern
Pastes as plain text
Step 1: Ask me in one message for these things, then wait until you have them:
- My current pricing page copy in full: headline, tier names and prices, feature bullets, any FAQ section.
- 3-5 real objections I've actually heard, verbatim, from sales calls, support tickets, or lost-deal notes ("too expensive compared to what we use now", "not sure my team will use all these seats", "what happens if we go over usage"). Include each objection's frequency, segment, and sample period when known; otherwise say they are unknown. Never invent these yourself.
- Any approved policy or evidence that could support a new factual claim (for example, overage handling, migration terms, billing rules, or documented savings). Do not infer these from the objection.
Step 2: Build this table, one row per objection:
- Objection
- Frequency / segment (or unknown)
- Answered on the page? (Yes / Partially / No)
- If Yes or Partially: quote the exact existing line that addresses it
- If Partially or No: draft exact replacement or added copy only when the necessary policy or claim is supported by the supplied evidence. Otherwise write `EVIDENCE NEEDED` or `NEEDS POLICY DECISION`, state the placement, and name the missing proof.
Step 3: If frequency data is available, end with one final line ranking the unanswered objections by stated frequency and confidence. Do not claim which one costs the most conversions unless the supplied evidence supports that causal conclusion. If frequency is unknown, say that an evidence-based ranking is not possible.
Rules: do not invent objections, savings, comparisons, billing behavior, or policy claims. Do not rewrite sections that already answer their objection. Keep replacement copy the same length or shorter than what it replaces, and state the placement for new copy.Real example output
| Objection | Frequency | Answered? | Existing line | Suggested fix | |---|---|---|---|---| | "Too expensive vs Competitor X" | Unknown | No | (nothing on page addresses pricing comparison) | NEEDS POLICY DECISION under the Growth tier: whether a supported comparison or migration offer exists. Do not claim a 30% saving or no-fee migration without evidence. | | "Not sure my team will use all these seats" | Unknown | Partially | "Unlimited seats on Growth" | NEEDS POLICY DECISION: whether unused-seat flexibility exists. Do not claim active-seat billing unless it is the approved billing rule. | | "What happens if we go over usage" | Unknown | No | (usage caps listed with no overage policy) | NEEDS POLICY DECISION directly under the usage limit: provide the approved overage behavior before drafting copy. | Ranking: unavailable. The supplied examples include no frequency or outcome data, so an evidence-based ranking would be speculative.
Why it works
Grounding the audit in objections you actually heard, plus approved policy and evidence, keeps the output tied to real buyer concerns without manufacturing commercial promises. Requiring the exact existing line before suggesting a fix stops the agent from rewriting sections that already work.
