Stop the Discount Spiral: A Better Way to Win Renewals
That sinking feeling when a client demands a discount at renewal time—sound familiar?
You know your solution delivers real value, yet the pressure to slash prices threatens your margins and undermines everything you’ve built. What if you could flip the script? Instead of caving, learn how to anchor price increases in undeniable value, turn negotiations into partnership-strengthening conversations, and protect your worth without apology.
Join the Anti-Discount Revolution and discover why raising prices isn’t just possible—it’s how you build lasting client respect and sustainable growth.

- (1:44) Value > Price: When clients say "give us a deal," they’re really asking "prove your worth"—here’s how to respond.
- (3:26) Value Positioning Playbook: Quantify impact with metrics, share success stories, and tie solutions to strategic goals.
- (6:10) The "Why Pay More?" Framework: Six steps to justify increases (document results → reinforce original decision → surface change risks → anchor new price).
- (8:50) Strategic Concessions: Never discount without trade-offs (e.g., "Renew by month-end for 4% increase vs. 8%").
- (11:09) Anti-Discount Playbook: Start early, communicate transparently, offer tiered choices, and reinforce partnership.
