Value-based ROAS case holds the line on a discount request

A value-based ROAS case (20-30x) held the line against a discount request after a feature outage, closing the deal on time at full price.

20-30x demonstrated ROAS

deal signed on time with no discount conceded

Background

Ahead of a signing, a feature experienced a major failure and downtime, and internal stakeholders began pushing back on the champion and conceding to a discount request from procurement.

Goal

Support the champion in winning the deal without the business conceding on price.

The Work

Applied a value-based approach showing 20-30x ROAS from the implementation even without the broken feature, and offered free temporary test access to a module the customer hadn't originally intended to buy.

Outcome

The customer signed on time without the requested discount, is a happy, well-paying account, and the broken feature has since been fixed.
