What You Can Predict

Objections

Know before they say it:

  • Which objections they’ll raise
  • Why they’ll raise them
  • What will overcome them
  • Which responses will work

Test your responses beforehand.

Pain Points

Uncover hidden pain:

  • What they care about (vs. what they say)
  • Which questions will unlock them
  • Real priorities vs. stated ones
  • What creates urgency for them

Ask the right questions.

Messaging

Test what resonates:

  • Does your pitch land with them?
  • Which benefits matter to them?
  • What proof do they need?
  • How to frame your solution

Know what works before presenting.

Decision Criteria

Understand their process:

  • Price vs. value: what matters more?
  • Speed vs. caution in decisions
  • Risk tolerance level
  • Who else influences them

Navigate their buying process.

Real Examples

Before the Meeting

You ask customer mind:

$> "I'm presenting $400K pricing. What objections will you raise?"

Customer mind predicts:

I'll raise 3 objections:
1. ROI Timeline: "How fast will we see return?"
   Real concern: Got burned by 18-month implementation before
   What I need: Conservative 12-month payback with proof
2. Budget: "This is 2x what we budgeted"
   Real concern: Political capital after last failed purchase
   What I need: Competitor cost comparison + references
3. Risk: "What if it doesn't work?"
   Real concern: My job is on the line
   What I need: Pilot program with success metrics

Test Your Response

You ask:

$> "If I respond to your ROI concern with conservative 12-month
>payback and 3 customer references who saw return in 10 months,
>will that address it?"

Customer mind confirms:

YES. That addresses my concern.
Why it works:
- Conservative timeline matches my risk profile
- Proof from customers (not promises) builds credibility
- 10-month actual results give me buffer
With this proof, I'm convinced on ROI.

In the Actual Meeting

What happens:

  • Customer: “This is 2x our budget and how fast will we see return?”
  • You: [prepared response with conservative ROI + references]
  • Customer: “This is exactly what I need. Connect me with those references.”

Result: Deal won. Because you predicted and prepared.

Common Scenarios

Predict:

  • Is “too expensive” real or negotiation tactic?
  • Do they care about price or value?
  • What ROI timeline convinces them?
  • Which proof points overcome price concerns?

Test responses before the call. Know what works.

Outcome: Win significantly more deals with pricing objection preparation

Predict:

  • Do they actually care about missing features?
  • Is it a checklist item or real need?
  • What alternative approach will they accept?
  • Which features truly matter to them?

Know which gaps matter to THIS buyer. Focus there.

Outcome: Win deals despite feature gaps when you know what they actually need

Predict:

  • What past failures make them cautious?
  • What proof reduces their risk perception?
  • Which guarantees matter to them?
  • How do they evaluate vendor reliability?

Address their specific risk concerns with the right proof.

Outcome: Win risk-averse buyers by knowing exactly what reassures them

Predict:

  • Is “need to think about it” real or brush-off?
  • What’s the actual timeline concern?
  • What would create urgency for them?
  • Who else needs to approve?

Know if it’s real or just a stall. Respond accordingly.

Outcome: Faster deal cycles when you understand their real timeline

Implementation

Use Mind Reasoner through Claude Code

No coding. Just natural conversation in Claude.

You:

$> Create a customer mind for David Kim, CTO at FinanceApp,
>using /Documents/calls/financeapp-cto.vtt

Mind Reasoner:

✓ Training customer mind... (~10 min)

You:

$> I'm presenting $300K pricing tomorrow. What objections
>will David raise? Why will he raise them?

Mind Reasoner:

Based on David's decision-making patterns:
Objections he'll raise:
1. Integration Complexity - his team is slammed
2. Security Compliance - reports to board on this
3. Vendor Lock-in - got burned before
What he needs to say yes:
- Technical architecture review
- Security/compliance documentation
- API flexibility demonstration
- Reference from similar fintech company

You:

$> If I address integration concerns by offering a 2-week
>technical pilot with his team, will that work?

Mind Reasoner:

YES. This will work with David.
Why: Shows you understand his constraint (team capacity)
     Lets him validate before full commitment
     Reduces his risk
He'll say: "A pilot makes sense. Let's scope it."
