[Are you still blocking them?] Turn "Please give me a 50% discount" into 100% sales! Professional god-tier response templates

Hello! This is Mercaku.

I'm going to be harsh, but first, let me assert something.

When you receive a price negotiation on Mercari,
as long as you are replying with "emotion," you are still an amateur.

For example, suppose you have an item listed for 3,000 yen, and you suddenly get a request for half price: "Can you do 1,500 yen?"

Seeing this, do you think:
"Huh? Are you kidding me!"
"That's too unreasonable, I'm going to block you!"

Do you get frustrated and block them immediately?

I'll be clear.
That is throwing money down the drain.

Price negotiation is not "harassment" against you.
It is the "greatest opportunity" to turn your inventory into cash.

Today, I will talk about a professional negotiation technique to smartly and surely turn such unreasonable demands into sales: the "Magic 10% Rule (Conditional YES)."

Once you know this,
you will never get frustrated in the comment section again.
So, let's get right into the main topic!🔥

Price negotiation is not "harassment"

First, please switch your mindset from "emotion" to "numbers."

In business,
the emotions of "annoying" or "rude" are not worth a single yen.
All you need is the cold, hard calculation of "how much it sells for and how much profit remains."

The true identity of someone making an unreasonable price reduction request.
They are not bad people; they are "just people who don't know the market price" or
"people who just tried it on the off chance."

It's the same as an old lady at the supermarket saying, "Give me this for half price."
There is no malice.
It's just the feeling of, "It would be lucky if I could buy it cheap."

Getting angry and blocking them because it's "rude" is like
a shop clerk yelling at and chasing away a customer who just walked into the store.

If you do that, your items will never sell, and
your room will become a mountain of inventory (a graveyard of cash).

If the other party is coming at you with numbers (price),
it is a professional's job to respond with "numbers (logic)."

The "Magic of the 10% Rule" to contain unreasonableness

So, how exactly should you reply?

What I strictly practice is the technique of
making the other party realize their unreasonable request through numbers and getting a compromise accepted
.

This is the ultimate template👇

(Example: When you receive an offer of 2,000 yen for a 3,000 yen product)

There are two key points to this reply.

1. Show the "30%" figure to make them see it objectively

If you just say "No, I can't" right away, it will cause friction. Instead, you gently point out the fact that
"Your request is for 30% off (= surely you realize that's unreasonable, right?)" using numbers.

When people are presented with concrete numbers, they cannot argue emotionally. You can help the other party regain their composure by making them think, "Oh, I asked for 30% off. That's impossible..."

2. Offer a compromise of "10%"

This is the most important part. Instead of just refusing, you present your acceptable range by saying,
"I can do 10% (2,700 yen)".

Then the other party will think, "They said no to 30%, but they will give me a discount at 10%," or "I went through the trouble of negotiating, so I'll settle for 2,700 yen."

I apply this as a technique similar to the "door-in-the-face" (concessive request method). After refusing a large request (30% off), the other party is more likely to accept a smaller proposal (10% off).

Don't say "NO." Give a "conditional YES."

The basic rule of negotiation is to never end it with just "NO (I can't)."

"I can't" equals "end of conversation." You will lose a potential customer who was interested in your product right there.

Instead, please give a "conditional YES."

• "That price is impossible (NO)"

• "I can do it at this price (YES)"

By giving this "conditional YES," you can give the other party a sense of satisfaction that "the negotiation was successful" or "I was able to buy it a little cheaper," while you are able to "protect your profit and sell the item."

As a result, the person you were about to block will suddenly turn into a great customer, saying, "Thank you! I'll buy it at that price!"

This is what it means to "turn inventory into cash."

Summary: Register the templates!

Finally, let's summarize today's key points.

• Getting emotional over discount negotiations is proof of being a second-rate seller.

• The other party isn't a bad person; they just don't know the market price.

• Respond with numbers, like "30% is impossible, but 10% is okay."

• Keep the conversation going with a "conditional YES" instead of a "NO."

How about it? Don't you feel like the time you spent getting frustrated looking at "outrageous comments" until now was a waste?

Register the templates from earlier into your smartphone's "user dictionary" right now.
Set it up so that when you type "discount," that sentence appears.

If you do that, the next time a discount negotiation comes in,
instead of getting frustrated, you'll be able to calmly turn it into a sale, thinking, "Oh, here it is. Tap, done."

Discard your emotions and do business with numbers!

Thank you
