    Learn To Value Your Product And Win Customers Too!

    Remember in sales - it is all about Win/Win. Your customer may be happy that you "gave away the farm" but deep down you will resent them for it. And resentment always shows itself! Plus I don't believe in doing this - you just attract more business like it! However - there are going to be times when you will consider some form of discounting. When a customer asks you for some DISCOUNTS you have to ask yourself TWO IMPORTANT questions.

    1) WHY SHOULD I DO THIS? If it is just about the money - you are actually setting yourself up for failure. In business - it must always be a great fit - between the customer and your business.

    2) HOW CAN I BENEFIT FROM THIS IN THE LONG RUN? Is this a customer you want to do further business with? Are they going to pay full price down the road after they have received the deal of the century?

    Hey remember - a diamond is only a piece of coal that did well under pressure!

    Have you ever seen someone walk out of the bathroom with toilet paper on their shoe...or worse...someone that has tucked their skirt into their nylons? The view as they walk away isn't so great! If you have decided to turn down the business, then make sure you aren't defensive, nasty or too apologetic. Just say you would love to do business with them, however, at this time your schedule/rates won't meet their needs. Then offer some other options - give them someone to call, a website to visit etc. that shows you are a professional.
