Strategies for the constant negotiating user

Handling ongoing discount requests

Certain customers perceive any business transaction not as a standard value exchange, but as a competition where their goal is to maximize their economic benefit at the expense of the company's profitability.

This profile is capable of arguing over even the smallest penny and will try to use any argument, no matter how minimal, to push for a reduction in the rate.

For example, instead of discounting the price of a policy, an additional month of free basic assistance can be granted.

These ancillary concessions satiate your competitive appetite and allow you to feel that you have achieved a personal triumph.

Maintaining this business integrity demonstrates a high regard for one's own work an
