Handle 'Can You Do Better on Price?'

Generate questions to ask before offering any discount, hold price with confidence, and trade discount for commitment.

About this prompt

This prompt generates a structured response to 'can you do better on price?' that begins with diagnostic questions before making any price move — understanding what the prospect needs from the negotiation, holding price with confidence where justified, and trading any discount for a specific commitment in return. Use it when entering commercial negotiations where you need to protect margin without losing the deal.Conceding on price before you understand what the prospect actually needs from the negotiation is the most expensive mistake in commercial selling. This prompt takes your [current quote], [flexibility range], and [deal stage] and produces: three questions to ask before responding to the price request that clarify whether the issue is budget, competitive pressure, or buying psychology, a confidence framework for holding price when the value justification is strong, a list of what to ask for in exchange if you do move on price, and alternative structures — phased payments, multi-year commitments, reduced scope — that address the economic concern without pure discount. Use this over a generic negotiation guide when you're in a live commercial conversation and need a structured approach that preserves deal integrity. Tip: the 'what to ask for in exchange' section is the most discipline-building output — reps who always ask for something when they give something condition buyers to treat pricing as a two-sided conversation rather than a one-directional request.
