SalesDiscount response

Respond to a discount request without caving

Use when a prospect asks for a discount, to protect margin while giving them a sense of winning.

The prompt
prompt.txt
Script a response to a discount request.

Product and price: {{product}} at {{price}}.
Discount they asked for: {{discount_asked}}.
Things I could trade instead of cutting price (longer term, case study, faster start): {{trade_options}}.

The response should:
- Acknowledge the request without an instant yes or no.
- Ask why the price needs to move (budget, comparison, approval).
- Offer a value-trade alternative before any price concession.
- If I must concede, attach a condition so the discount feels earned, not free.

Output: the verbal script, plus an email version, plus one line for holding firm if they push again.
