• objection: Will FX savings survive all the fees and exchange-rate spreads?
  response: Request a transaction-level quote and compare the all-in delivered MXN amount with the incumbent.
• objection: Can carrier payouts be reconciled with existing operations?
  response: Pilot a limited invoice batch and test approval, payout and exportable audit records against the current process.
