βœ… **Better deliverability** - 99.5% vs 97% delivery rate
βœ… **Superior support** - 24/7 vs business hours only
βœ… **No feature gates** - All features on all plans

Objection Handling Guide

3. Calculate: Show ROI with their numbers
4. Compare: Total cost vs current solution
5. Offer: Payment plans or trial period

**Example Response**:

### "We can't afford it right now"
**Response**:
"What if I could show you how it pays for itself in the first month? Plus, we offer monthly plans with no commitment, so you can start small and scale as you grow."

4. Free migration service
Would you like me to show you these in action?"

## Timing Objections

### "Not the right time"
**Response**:
"I understand timing is everything. When would be a better time? In the meantime, would it make sense to set up a free account so you can explore at your own pace?"

### "We need to think about it"
