Twyla runs a training business. One of her biggest pet peeves is when potential trainees ask for a discount. But one particular trainee sent her over the edge. The trainee asked if Twyla would be willing to train five people for free if the trainee gave Twyla a free training space. First of all, just one spot in one of Twyla's trainings can cost up to $1500. Giving away five spots for a training space would be asking Twyla to giveaway $7500 for something that only costs Twyla a few hundred dollars.
When Twyla and I discussed this incident, she articulated her frustration like this, "They are basically discounting my value as a trainer." What a perfect way of putting it. To Twyla, and to many in her industry, her courses are worth $1500. To ask for what is basically a clearance rate, the trainee was saying that Twyla's training has very little value.
Twyla had . Twyla would rather , rather than those who discount the value of what she has to offer. I would be upset, too, if someone haggled me for such an outrageous discount.
