"I Can’t Talk Right Now"

This is a time-based objection often used to end calls quickly. A brief and compelling pitch can help prevent this.

How to respond in 3 steps:

Step 1: Validate their objection

"I understand."

Step 2: Label it

"It sounds like you’re really busy right now."

Step 3: Follow up with a secondary ask

"When would be a better time for a quick chat?" or "Can you share when you might have a few minutes?"
