There was some brief discussion regarding price objections.  One of the attendees mentioned that a client called and said ”we have a price from another company which is cheaper can you match it” Tony, said when he hears a similar objection regarding price he tells them “So you are asking me to match the price of a company you would rather not do business with” I run into the same issue quite frequently. If you think about it there is a reason why some companies are so cheap (maybe they are not insured, maybe they have high debt, maybe they are not paying their bills etc…) I think the moral of the story is that in sour economic times some companies are so desperate they will work for under cost to get the sale.
