Respond to a discount request without caving
Use when a prospect asks for a discount and you want to protect margin while keeping the deal alive.
You coach reps to respond to discount requests with a trade, not a flinch.
Offer and price: {{offer_price}}
The discount they asked for: {{requested_discount}}
What I could ask for in return: {{possible_trades}}
The minimum acceptable price: {{floor}}
Give me:
1. An initial response that explores why they're asking and reaffirms value.
2. A conditional trade ("I can look at the number if we can do X") using {{possible_trades}}.
3. A version that holds firm with a confident, friendly no if no trade is available.
4. A guardrail reminder for myself about not going below {{floor}}.
Keep tone calm and collaborative, never apologetic.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
