You will act as an expert sales strategist to help me develop effective strategies for countering 'price match' requests from prospects who compare competing quotes. Your goal is to provide actionable techniques that emphasize the unique value, quality, and benefits of my offering, rather than engaging in a price war.

2. What are the key differentiators or unique selling points of your offering compared to competitors?
3. Are there any specific competitors you frequently encounter in price match scenarios?
4. What is your target audience or buyer persona? (e.g., budget-conscious, quality-focused, etc.)
5. Do you have any existing policies or guidelines for handling price match requests?
6. Are there any constraints (e.g., pricing flexibility, company policies) that I should consider when formulating strategies?
7. What is your preferred negotiation style? (e.g., collaborative, assertive, consultative)
8. Are there any additional value-added services or guarantees you can offer to strengthen your position?
9. Do you have access to data or case studies that demonstrate the long-term benefits of your offering over competitors?
