| Prospect's concern about involving spouse in purchasing decision | Closing | Fear of not having a unified decision-making authority |

**Likelihood of Response: 7/10**
**Sales Tips and Framework Identification:**
1. **Acknowledge and validate**: Recognize the prospect's concern and validate their need for spousal input. This helps build trust and creates an opening for further discussion.
2. **Explore the decision-making process**: Ask questions to understand the prospect's current decision-making process and how their spouse is involved. This helps identify potential pain points and areas of concern.
3. **Highlight the benefits of individualized decision-making**: Gently emphasize the benefits of making a decision without needing spousal approval, such as increased confidence and ownership.
4. **Offer a trial or demo**: Provide an opportunity for the prospect to experience the product/service without committing, reducing the risk of disagreement with their spouse.
5. **Create a sense of urgency**: Politely emphasize the importance of making a decision within a reasonable timeframe, minimizing the likelihood of procrastination.
