For free.")”

The Complete Seller Objection Playbook (All 25)
Same underlying content as #7 and Tier 4 #42 (Complete Seller Objection Playbook script) — all three are genuinely different value promises (comprehensive-training vs. single-technique vs. categorized-playbook framing), so I kept all three packaged rather than killing two. But shoot this as ONE long production and cut it three ways rather than filming three separate full-length versions of the same 25 objections.
