Is Discounting a Bad Idea? – Episode 15
Customer Centric Selling Podcast - Show Notes - Episode 15
“Make sure if you need to negotiate to get before you give.” - Frank Visgatis
Welcome to the Customer Centric Selling podcast! In today’s episode, Frank and Tim expand on the hidden dangers of discounting and teach you how to prepare for the inevitable conversation.
A customer will always ask for and most likely expect a discount. With a customer-centric selling approach, you’ll stop dreading negotiations and instead develop a strategy to build value throughout the business-to-business buying process.
In addition, you want to aim for a get-give strategy which is one of the core concepts of customer-centric selling. So, before you offer anything, you need to understand what you can get from the prospect in return. This mindset shift is essential as it helps salespeople control the buying process and avoid discounting.
For more information on how to avoid discounting, listen to episode 7 of our podcast.
