Client says they don't have the budget
The client signals interest but says the budget cannot support the current proposal. You need to protect pricing integrity while finding out whether there is still a workable version of the deal.
Client says your price is higher than expected
The client responds to your quote with a softer expectation gap instead of a hard rejection. You need to keep the deal alive while clarifying what feels off.
Client asks for a discount
The client wants a discount before committing. Sometimes they frame it as a long-term opportunity, but the immediate pressure is still to cut price first and define terms later.
