Pricing Negotiation Guide
pricing_negotiation_guideHelps you decide how to answer a discount request without giving away margin. You give the negotiation scenario, plus deal value, the discount asked, each side's leverage and who approves. You get a leverage assessment, a value based negotiation strategy, answers to common pushback and a discount approval framework. Ask whether the user has authority to approve the proposed terms.

|---|---|---|---|
| scenario | Yes | Negotiation scenario | |
| deal_value | No | Current deal value | |

| your_solution | No | Your product/solution. Named in the guide and used, with your leverage, to read the sector and how you charge | |

| buyer_leverage | No | Buyer leverage points (size, reference potential, etc.) | |

| decision_timeline | No | When decision needs to be made | |
| approval_authority | No | Who has final approval on pricing | |
| discount_requested | No | Discount percentage requested | |
