Drill the objections from this article

Each one opens an AI sparring drill pre-loaded with the rebuttal — plus the full weak / strong / elite breakdown.

💰Too expensive

"I just don't have the money right now."

Could be real, could be a soft no. Either way — find financing or find the truth.

🚪Not interested

"I tried something like this before and it didn't work."

🤝Already have someone

"We're locked into a contract."
