🛒 Todd’s Negotiation Course: https://hubs.li/Q04k0BGj0  THE 7 DEADLY NEGOTIATION SINS: ⏳ Hiding the price. Delaying the price discussion kills trust. Set clear expectations early 🏎️ Discounts speed things up. They actually stall deals by signaling hidden flexibility. 🎁 Giving away freebies. Every unearned concession screams your price is fake. Always get something in return. 🗣️ Buying case studies. Never trade a discount for advocacy. Earn the case study through actual customer success. 📅 False certainty on "hold pricing". Use your negotiation levers to drive the timeline and reinforce value. 🏈 Pitching value at the goal line. If you're still re-selling the value of your product during the negotiation phase, you're too late. ⚓ Anchoring high. Anchor to the truth. If the truth won't sell it, don't sell it. - - You're one step closer to President's Club! 🏋 30MPC Training: 30mpc.com/training  🛠 Weekly Tactical Breakdowns: https://hubs.li/Q02NJQ8p0 📚 Things you can steal and use today: https://linktr.ee/30mpc_youtube
