When a creator quotes a rate that's too high, paste this:
"Hi [Name], love your content! Our budget for this campaign is ₹[X], which is at the lower end of what we typically see for your tier on AddaInfluencer. Would you be open to that for one Reel + one Story? If yes, we can lock it in by tomorrow and pay 50% upfront via UPI."
Why this works: (1) anchors to a benchmark they can verify; (2) signals you've done research; (3) offers concrete deliverables; (4) removes payment uncertainty with UPI + 50% upfront.
