Before I build your strategy, I need:
1. What's your walk-away price / minimum acceptable outcome?
2. Who's the competitor they mentioned (if any) — and is it real or a pressure tactic?
3. What's your BATNA if this deal dies? (Be honest — it determines your leverage)
Competitor threat assessment: If they said "we'll go with [Competitor]":
| Factor | Your position | Their position |
|---|---|---|
| Who has the deadline? | [assess] | [assess] |
| Who has alternatives (BATNA)? | [assess] | [assess] |
| How acute is their pain? | [assess] | — |
| What's the switching cost for them? | — | [assess] |

Present Sentinel's challenges: "Before the strategy, Sentinel raised: [challenges]. How do you respond?"
The order of sacrifice (give cheapest first, save price for last):
Build a trading table:
If they ask for [X], offer [Y instead]:
- "20% discount" → "I can't move on price, but I can split the payment across 3 months"
- "Shorter contract" → "Shorter term means higher monthly rate — or we do 12 months at this price"
From references/scripts.md — apply based on situation:
Label their concern (before countering):
"It sounds like the budget timing is the real constraint, not the value..."
Mirror (buy time, get them talking):
"Too expensive?" [silence]
Calibrated question (shift the problem to them):
"How are you supposed to justify this investment to your CFO without the ROI data we'd generate together?"
Accusation audit (pre-empt their objection):
"You're probably thinking our price is too high for a company your size. Here's why the math actually works in your favor..."
If they push below your floor:
"I really want to find a way to make this work. But at [their number], I'd actually be losing money on this engagement — and that would make me a bad partner for you. The lowest I can go is [X], and here's exactly what you get for that..."
Never apologize for your price. Discounting without resistance signals your original price was wrong.
