Trade Wins Lesson #19

Stop haggling. Start preventing objections before they start.

Nobody asks the bartender for a discount on steak—but they ask you. Five methods fix that: three options, printed prices from the tablet, never discount yourself, reduce scope instead of price, and never run fake sales that teach customers you are usually overcharging.

Lesson 19: Preventing Price Objections Approx. 29 minutes
Five methods

Prevention beats negotiation

  • Three price pointsThey give themselves the discount by picking the lower tier.
  • Printed / tablet priceMenu authority—not "about six hundred bucks."
  • Do not haggle yourself"Usually $4600 but $4100 today" opens the floodgates.
  • Scope, not priceLeave the cast iron on site—$500 off with a reason.
  • Never run salesSales teach customers the real price is lower—you lied the rest of the year.
