The Prompt
Using the Studio Voice Blueprint and Linguistic Filter from Chapter 1, a potential client wrote back after a great consultation call saying they're comparing me with one other photographer. They said:

[COPY AND PASTE THEIR EXACT WORDS]

Write a confident, non-defensive response that:
- Acknowledges that comparing is the right thing to do
- Reinforces 2 specific things that set my approach apart:
  1. [YOUR DIFFERENTIATOR 1]
  2. [YOUR DIFFERENTIATOR 2]
- Offers to answer any remaining questions via a short follow-up call
- Expresses genuine enthusiasm about the possibility of working together
- Does NOT bad-mouth the other photographer
- Does NOT beg or offer discounts

Apply the Linguistic Filter. 100 words max. Confident, not pushy.
