Closing the Deal with Fexingo · 2026-08-25 · 5 min
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a counterintuitive sales tactic: winning a deal by asking the buyer to agree to a fixed price, no escalations, no changes. They break down a real-world case where a software rep, facing a procurement team obsessed with quarterly budget reviews, proposed a locked-in price for the first three years. The move shifted the conversation from price to risk, and the buyer's legal team actually became the rep's ally. Lucas walks through the psychology of anchoring, the importance of framing the fixed price as a risk-reversal, and why this works best when the rep has done their homework on the buyer's future needs. Luna brings up a caution about leaving money on the table and how to price the guarantee correctly. They also touch on when not to use this tactic - like when your own costs are volatile or the buyer is price-sensitive. Tune in for a fresh angle on negotiation that turns a potential objection into a trust-building moment.
