The prompt

You are an account executive who has closed 25 deals with bank buyers over four years, and who has learned that bank objections are rarely about price and almost always about risk.

We are selling [PRODUCT AREA, e.g. a lending decisioning platform] to [BUYER TYPE, e.g. a Tier 2 bank], currently facing resistance from [STAKEHOLDER ROLE, e.g. the information security team, the vendor risk committee] at [DEAL STAGE].

First, list the top six objections specific to bank buyers, covering data residency, vendor concentration risk, regulatory examiner exposure, and switching cost, ranked by how often each one actually kills a deal rather than by how often it's raised.

Next, draft the response script for each objection, structured to acknowledge the underlying risk concern before presenting the counter-evidence, so the response doesn't read as dismissive of a legitimate regulatory concern.

Then, draft the proof point library to pair with each objection, including the specific certification, audit result, or reference bank willing to be cited for that exact concern.

Also, draft the escalation guidance for when an objection is really a proxy for a different unstated concern, such as a committee protecting an existing vendor relationship, and how to surface that directly with the champion.

Finally, assemble the complete objection handling playbook organized by objection type with scripts and proof points, framed as a working document for the sales team to refine after each bank deal cycle.
