A pricing negotiation assistant
that suggests the move, a rep makes it
Getting a pricing negotiation wrong costs real money immediately, and that is exactly why we do not let an agent make the call alone here. We build an assistant that suggests the next move: a discount level, a bundling option, a term adjustment, based on your actual pricing rules and deal history. A rep approves every single offer before a prospect ever sees it.
Why reps land on different numbers
Negotiating on price has immediate financial consequences, and it is also where inconsistency between reps shows up most visibly. Two reps handling similar deals can land on very different discount levels. It is rarely about who judged the situation better. One remembered a past deal’s terms and the other did not, or the pricing rules live in a spreadsheet nobody checks mid-call.
A rep under pressure to close needs a quick, grounded answer to “what can I actually offer here” when a prospect pushes for a better number. Without one, they either guess or over-discount just to keep the conversation moving.
What the assistant suggests, and what it never does
The agent suggests the next move at each step of a negotiation: a discount level, a bundling option, a payment term adjustment. Each suggestion is built from your actual pricing rules and from what comparable deals in your history actually closed at. A rep sees a grounded number instead of a guess. It is deliberately a suggestion engine, not a decision-maker. Every single offer requires a rep’s explicit approval before it reaches a prospect, with no configuration that removes that gate. This is the one step in a sales process where an unreviewed automated action carries real financial risk.
Where a suggested move would exceed a rep’s own discount authority, the request escalates automatically to a manager. The deal history and the reasoning behind the suggestion go with it. The manager decides with context, not from a cold message. Every suggestion, whether approved, adjusted or rejected, gets logged per deal. That helps a sales manager coach reps on negotiation, and gives a clear record for reviewing pricing policy later.
For teams running a formal deal desk, the assistant’s suggestions and the approval trail slot directly into that process. It does not create a parallel system the deal desk has to reconcile against.
What a rep always decides
Every actual offer, every approval, and any exception to standard pricing rules stay with a person. The agent’s entire role is to make a rep’s next move better-informed. The decision and the action are, without exception, a human’s.
Guards
The approval gate is hard-coded and cannot be configured away. No offer reaches a prospect without explicit rep sign-off, logged. Discount authority limits route automatically to a manager when exceeded. Every suggestion is logged against the pricing rules and deal history that produced it, so the reasoning behind any number is always visible. A kill switch pauses the suggestion engine in one message if the pricing rules need review. The agent introduces itself as an AI assistant at the start of every conversation.

FAQ
Does this agent ever send an offer on its own?
No, never. It suggests a move, and a rep must explicitly approve it before anything reaches a prospect. This is the one agent in our catalog we build with a hard, non-optional approval gate rather than a configurable one.
How much does a pricing negotiation assistant cost?
From $2,400 for suggestion logic built on your pricing rules and deal history, live in 3 to 5 weeks. A version with deal-desk escalation across a sales team usually starts at $4,200.
How does it know what to suggest?
From your pricing rules, your discount tiers, and historical data on what similar deals actually closed at. A suggestion reflects real precedent, not an arbitrary number.
What happens if a rep wants to go beyond their discount authority?
The request escalates to a manager automatically, with the deal history and the assistant's reasoning attached, rather than a rep approving their own exception.
Can we audit what was suggested versus what was actually offered?
Yes. Every suggestion and every approved or rejected move is logged per deal, which is useful both for coaching reps and for reviewing pricing policy over time.
