Template: replying to I need to check with my team
When a prospect says they need to check with their team or their boss, the best reply helps them make the case inside, instead of pushing for a decision. Offer a short summary they can forward, ask who else will have a view, and agree when you will speak again.

The text
Of course, [first name]. Would a short summary help, something you can forward? I can send three lines on what it does, what it costs and what the first month looks like.
Makes sense. Who else will have a view on this? Happy to join a short call with them, or answer their questions in writing, whichever is easier.
Sounds good. Shall I check back on [day] to see where it landed, or would you rather come back to me?
Why each line is there
| Line | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Of course | Accepts the step without pressure. |
| Something to forward | Your contact needs words to sell it inside. |
| Who else will have a view | Finds the decision maker and the checkers. |
| A dated next step | Prevents the deal from drifting. |

How to use it in Sellinger
Put the approved wording in a text article in a knowledge base collection and attach it to the persona, so the agent answers from it. If you would rather answer yourself, add a needs attention rule for this kind of reply, and the conversation is flagged for a person.
