What it usually means
They've made a choice and don't want to look like it was the wrong one. The tool might be good, or just familiar.
What to say
That's common. Most teams I speak with use them. What's working well, and what do you wish it did better?
Replace anything in brackets with your own words before you say it.
Why it works
Saying it's common protects their decision, so they don't have to defend it. Asking what they wish it did better lets them name the gap themselves, and people believe what they say more than what they're told.
Other ways prospects say it
- “We already have a vendor for that.”
- “We're happy with who we use.”
- “We're set.”

If they push back again
If they're happy, believe them. Ask when the contract renews and whether you can check in a month before. You become the option they compare against.
The pattern behind every objection
Acknowledge it with something short and human, ask one question about what sits behind it, then propose a small next step with two options, or exit cleanly. Handle each objection once, never argue it, and log every one so you can see where your message or your list is weak.
