Salespeople always want a higher price and don’t want to offer a discount to close the sale. The price a customer is willing to pay must equal or be less than the value they expect to gain, unless they’re being held hostage to buy. The lack of confidence will most likely translate into a reduction in price.

If that is the case, then why should we look at the price we charge our customers as being a cost to them? I believe we should call it an investment. When we see what we sell as something in which the customer is making an investment, we begin to see what we sell in a completely different light.

The move from the full sales cycle model to the SDR/AE is no exception; we wanted to reduce the CAC (customer acquisition cost) and thought we would improve specialized skills, but we lost in customer centricity, people centricity and didn’t always observe that promised profit.” — Darius Lahoutifard, Founder, MEDDIC Academy.

Never offer a customer an open-ended price. When you don’t link your price to a time period, you’re allowing the customer to use the price as a negotiating tool with you whenever they feel like buying. There is no reason to make it easy for the customer to leverage prices across multiple suppliers.
