Customers Who Always Want a Lower Price —What Should a Sales Rep Do?

October 28, 2025

Price-sensitive customers can be challenging, but they also present an opportunity to sharpen your sales strategy. When a customer consistently asks for a lower price, the key is to shift the conversation from cost to VALUE. Don’t run away from the conversation – embrace it.

Start by understanding their true concern. Is it budget constraints, perceived lack of value, comparison with competitors, or maybe even just trying to keep you on your toes? Once you know the “why,” you can tailor your response. Highlight the unique benefits your solution offers — not just features, but outcomes. Show how your product or service saves time, reduces risk, or drives revenue. When value is clear, price becomes less of a barrier.

You can also offer flexible options: scaled packages, payment plans, or added services that enhance perceived value without slashing price. If discounts are necessary, tie them to commitments — volume, referrals, or longer contracts — so it’s a win-win.

Most importantly, stay confident. If you constantly cave on price, you risk devaluing your offering and eroding trust. Customers respect reps who stand behind their product and can justify its worth.

Remember, it’s not about being the cheapest — it’s about being the BEST FIT. Sell the value, not the discount.
