Lower your bills with an AI-prepped negotiation script
Prepare for a call to lower internet, phone or insurance bills with a script and fallback asks.
Why it works
Many providers have retention offers, but you usually have to ask. Preparation makes the call shorter and less awkward.
Step by step
Gather facts.
I pay [AMOUNT]/month to [PROVIDER] for [SERVICE]. I've been a customer for [TIME]. Competitor offers I found: [OFFERS]. Help me prepare to ask for a lower price.
Get the script.
Write a polite phone script: opening, my ask, how to respond to 'no', when to ask for the retention department, and a fallback ask (e.g. extra features or a one-time credit).
Debrief.
Here's what they offered: [OFFER]. Compare it with my current plan over 12 months and list any contract terms I should ask about.
Replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details. Works with most AI chat assistants.
Tips and cautions
- Verify competitor offers yourself before citing them.
- Be ready to actually switch if you say you will.
