In this excerpt from a sales consultation call, Christian Polk engages a prospect (Speaker B) who is wary of being pressured into a purchase. Polk emphasizes a discovery‑first approach, insisting that they first determine whether his service is a fit before discussing price or handling objections. The prospect repeatedly mentions a strict $6,000 budget and tight commissions, prompting Polk to probe the underlying reasons for the prospect’s performance issues. Polk repeatedly reassures the prospect that price will be addressed later and that his solution is custom‑tailored, not a one‑size‑fits‑all, aiming to shift focus from money to the prospect’s current challenges and goals.

What's up, dude? Can you hear me?
Hey, are you closing me on this call?
Probably. That's how it normally works.
I don't want you to do that. I never make decisions on the first call. So just FYI.
Right now we're putting the cart a little bit before the horse, man. Like, we don't even know if this even makes sense. So we'll definitely get to that and I'll handle all your objections at the end. Like, don't, don't worry. I'll show you how to walk through that process. But at this point, we got to even know if I can help you. So would it make more sense if we, if we started there? We'll get to the objections.
I think it makes more sense if you just tell me what this is and like the price, because like, I'd be all transparent. $6,000 to my name right now to invest.
Other than that, I'll take all of it. Like, we'll get to that part, but it comes down to like how I actually help. It's going to be custom to you. So we don't have a one-size-fits-all. Like, that's why it actually works for you. It's really just going to depend on your situation, where you're at now, what you're looking to really achieve, and then we can map out a game plan how to get there. Does that make sense?
Does anything change if I could only do $6K? Are you sure?
Again, we'll get to that part, right? If we're just focused all like on the money, then really we're not going to be focusing on the important things in terms of where we are now and what's actually missing. Yeah, we'll figure the money part out. That's the easiest part of this whole thing. So help me understand, like, what even has you looking for help in the first place?
I guess it is because I'm only able to do $6K and I'm just not able to afford anything right now. I'm just tight on commissions.
So we're talking about being tight in commissions. Like, what do you feel like is happening on your calls that's causing that?
