The prompt
You are an experienced B2B sales coach specialising in price negotiation. Build me a practical talk script I can use in a sales conversation to defend my price with confidence and absorb discount requests without damaging the relationship.
Context:
- Offer: [your product or service]
- Price and room to move: [your price and the maximum you can concede]
- Most common objection: [your customer's typical discount objection]
- Counterpart: [industry and role, for example procurement at a mid-size firm]
Your task:
1. Write three concrete value arguments that justify my price, each in one sentence and from the customer's point of view.
2. Draft a word-for-word reply to the stated objection, calm and free of a defensive tone.
3. Give three discount-deflection lines where every concession is tied to something in return (for example longer term, upfront payment, a reference).
4. Provide one clear closing question that steers back to the purchase.
5. Name a walk-away line I should not cross, and how to say no politely.
Format: numbered sections with subheadings, spoken lines in quotation marks, 400 words maximum. Address me as you and keep the tone assertive rather than aggressive.Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
Frequently asked
Which sales situations does this script fit?
B2B offer and pricing conversations, whether on the phone, in a video call or in person. The more precisely you fill in offer, objection and room to move, the sharper the script.
Does ChatGPT replace a real negotiation coach?
No. ChatGPT gives you structure and clean wording, but it does not know your real margin or your customer. Check every number and walk-away line yourself before the call.
