This actually produces the opposite effect! By lowering the original price, you are showing your customer that your product is not really worth what you are asking for. Your action will make the customer assume that they are in a purchasing situation that requires haggling. This may create buyer’s remorse later. They may wonder what you would have done if they had pushed you harder to lower the price. Even though you offered your customer a lower price, they will probably feel ripped off. Your customer will be likely to question your business and will be less likely to buy from you in future. Focus on the CUSTOMER, not the price. Customers want solutions to their problems; price is only an issue because YOU make it one. By constantly drawing attention to the price of the product, you distract the customer from the value of your product and make them focus on the price. When YOU stop focusing on the price, your customer will be able to stop. Then, you will be able to discuss a more important point: how your company and products can help solve your customer’s problems. Giving your customer attention allows you to serve them better, and they will become happier, more loyal customers. The price of the product will be second to the personal attention and service you give; you will finally be focusing on what the customer finds truly valuable. The obvious result will be higher margins and happier customers.
