It's not about the money. It's about what the money represents -- your commitment to change.
Moral Authority
Core Principle
Myron Golden's Moral Authority Close handles objections by making NOT buying the morally wrong choice. Instead of defending your price or offering discounts, you reframe the decision as a question of values: What does staying stuck cost their family, their team, their mission? When inaction becomes the irresponsible choice, buying becomes the moral imperative. This technique works because people are more motivated by duty and responsibility than by features and benefits.
Step-by-Step Execution
Example in Action
Prospect: I want to do this, but $5,000 is a lot of money right now. You: I hear you, and I respect that you're being thoughtful about it. Can I ask you something? You told me earlier that this problem is costing your business about $12,000 a month in lost deals. That's $144,000 a year. You've been dealing with this for how long -- two years? That's nearly $300,000 you've already lost. My question isn't whether $5,000 is a lot. It's this: can you look your family in the eye and say 'I chose to keep losing $12,000 a month because spending $5,000 to fix it felt uncomfortable'? Because that's the real decision here. Prospect: ...When you put it that way, it's not even a question. You: It's not. Let's fix this today so you can stop the bleeding.
