Competitor

Your competitor has feature X and you don't.

Why they say it. They may genuinely need feature X, or a rep has coached them to use it as a wedge against you. Often it is a checkbox they assume matters without having tested whether it solves their actual problem.

Do not: Do not promise it is on the roadmap to make the objection go away, and do not pretend the feature does not matter.

Say this

You are right, we do not have X in the form they do, and I am not going to spin that. What I would want to understand is the job behind X, because in most cases teams adopt X to solve a problem that we actually approach from a different angle. Can you walk me through what you would use feature X to accomplish day to day?

Then ask. If we solved that exact outcome a different way and got you the same result, would the feature itself still matter to you?
