When clients push for discounts, it can be tempting to cut prices to secure the deal, but maintaining profitability is crucial. One way I’ve handled this is by first assessing the long-term value of the client. For a key account, I considered their overall growth potential and offered a value-added bundle rather than reducing the price. By enhancing the service package with additional support and onsite presence, I was able to show the client the full value they were receiving. Setting boundaries on discounts also helped me avoid setting a precedent that could erode margins across other accounts. As one of my colleagues once explained, “you get a little of me in every box”.

I listen actively to my clients, understanding their needs while clearly communicating the value I provide. My team and I analyze each account's profitability, ensuring we make informed decisions that support both our clients and our bottom line. I prioritize building strong relationships, fostering trust that allows for transparent discussions We offer tailored solutions that address client concerns without compromising our margins. Collaboration is key; I work closely with my team to brainstorm creative offerings By embracing this approach, I not only maintain profitability but also enhance client satisfaction
