How to Turn a Request for a Discount to Your Advantage
When a prospect asks for a discount, what do you do? Many of us simply give it and accept a lower profit on the sale. This is fine if you have a clear reason for giving it. Perhaps you wanted to keep a competitor out, or you never intended to charge the full price you asked for, but what do you do if you don't want to give the prospect a discount and do it simply because you fear losing the sale?
Saying No Can Save You Money
Don't back down when customers want a discount - When was the last time you told a customer "No" when they asked you to discount? And how often are you prepared to walk away from a prospect when they ask for more than you are normally prepared to do? If you're like many sales people, your answers might be, "Not often enough."
Homeless But Not Hopeless: Millionaire Chris Gardner’s Early Years
Chris Gardner wears a $10,000 watch on each wrist. On the right hand is a Cartier set to Chicago time, and on the left is a Roger Dubuis set to South African time. “I was late once and it cost me $50,000,” explains Gardner. “I figure it was cheaper to wear two watches.” For a man who not too long ago had only two suits to his name and could not even afford to pay rent, Gardner has come a long way. From living on the streets and bathing in public restrooms to owning a successful multi-million dollar stock brokerage firm, Gardner is living out the American dream.

The Billionaire Broker: The Early Years of Charles Schwab
Charles Schwab always had difficulty in school, but he never knew why. Today, he has become one of the most famous – and successful – dyslexics in the world. From using comic books to help him pass English literature classes to heading up the largest discount brokerage in the U.S., Schwab’s current fortune of $5.5 billion ranks him as the 57th richest person in the country.

Lesson #3: Own Your Competitive Advantage
When Schwab first launched his discount stock brokerage company, he made it a habit to outsource his back office information technology to other companies. At the time, that was the standard practice throughout the industry. But by 1979, Schwab began to realize that if he was going to grow and gain competitive advantage, he was going to have to own that very technology.

Another Reason REI Beats Paper Assets
In this article I want to discuss something called the “Preferred List”. This is a list of the funds that a brokerage recommends to their clients. It is the selection of funds that their research has determined are the absolute best in the industry for the firm’s clients. Sadly, in a lot of cases this list is made up of fund families that paid some sort of extra consideration to be on the list. It’s also interesting how often the firm’s proprietary funds end up on that list. Hence, if you are a client of Merrill Lynch, let’s say, you will typically see quite a few Merrill Lynch funds on that list. This is a simple case of allowing how much you get paid to drive your decisions on what funds to recommend.
