Makes sense, it's a real number.
The fear underneath: It's not the price. They can't see yet why the gap is worth it, so the value hasn't landed.

Makes sense, it's a real number. One question before we get to it.
2Isolate
Let's put the price aside for one second. Is what we do here clear to you?
3Back in the game
What did you take from it? What do you actually get here?
4Self-sell
Do you feel this can get you to [their goal]?
5Deepen
When you say expensive, what number did you have in your head?
6Permission
Can I offer you a different perspective?
7Perspective
The gap is only the difference between your number and ours. Put that difference next to what [their goal] is worth to you. Which one is bigger?

How the walk works
Every objection is a fear wearing a costume. "Too expensive" is rarely about price. It's about not seeing yet why the gap is worth it. So the walk never argues with the sentence. It goes through the same seven steps every time, and only the last step changes:
- Accept. Agree with what they said, in their words. No "but".
- Isolate. Put the objection aside for a second and check they got what you do.
- Back in the game. Let them say, in their own words, what they get.
- Self-sell. Ask if it gets them to their goal. They sell it to themselves.
- Deepen. One short question on their exact words. Never a generic one.
- Permission. Ask before you reframe. A reframe without permission is an argument.
- Perspective. Two or three short moves: their situation, a new angle, a question they answer themselves.
Wait for the answer between every step. It's a conversation, not a speech. [their goal] means their goal, in their words, from earlier in the call.
