"Generate responses for the top 8 objections in telesales for a B2B software subscription: 'too expensive', 'not interested', 'call back later', 'happy with current solution', etc. Keep each under 25 words."

Create tailored value propositions for different customer segments to maximise relevance during calls.
"Create 4 different value propositions for our cloud backup solution, each targeting a different segment: healthcare practices, law firms, e-commerce businesses, and accountancy firms."
