Reply to 'how much does it cost?'

Answer a price question honestly and move toward a conversation, without dodging.

The prompt
A prospect replied to our cold email asking about price:

"{{reply}}"

Our pricing: {{pricing}}.

Write a short reply. Rules:
- Answer the question directly with a real number or range first. Don't dodge it.
- Add one line on what drives the price for them.
- Offer a short call to give an exact figure, as a question.
- Under 70 words, friendly and plain.
Example of what it writes
Hi Sara, it starts at $500 a month, and most agencies your size land between $800 and $1,200 depending on how many clinics they reach. Happy to work out the exact figure for Northwind on a 15-minute call. Does Thursday work?

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy it into any AI tool, such as ChatGPT or Claude.
  2. Replace each {{field}} with real details about you and the person you're writing to. The more specific they are, the less generic the result.
  3. Check every fact, name and number in what comes back: AI can sound sure about things that aren't true.
  4. Cut it down if it runs long. A cold email reads best under about 75 words.
  5. Send it to yourself and read it on your phone before anyone else sees it.
