“Your quote is too expensive.”
What it may signal
May signal unclear value, a different cost definition (premium vs deductible vs total risk), or a quote that landed before priorities were confirmed.
Discovery question
When you say expensive, what are you weighing—monthly premium, deductible, or what you would face if something happened?
Example conversation approach
Pause the price defense. Restate the protection priority they already shared, clarify what “expensive” means in their words, then discuss fit options only after that is clear.
Next step
Confirm the priority, then propose a short side-by-side review against that priority—not an immediate discount race.
