Generate a Script for Asking for a Better Deal on a Bill

Your broadband, insurance, or phone contract is coming up for renewal and you know loyal customers pay more than new ones. The call works better with a script. This gives you the specific words to use, the competitor offer to reference as leverage, and the escalation path if the first person cannot help. You go in knowing what you will accept and what you will say if they say no.

**Generate** a phone or email script for negotiating a better deal on the bill described.

1. Open with the account holder's situation and the specific ask.
2. Reference the competitor offer or lower price as leverage, if one exists.
3. Include a retention escalation step: if the first person cannot help, ask to speak to the retentions team.
4. State the acceptable outcome and the walk-away position.
5. End with the question that puts the ball in their court.

Bill or service: [e.g. broadband, phone contract, insurance, TV subscription]
Current price: [what you are paying]
Competitor offer or target price: [what you want to pay]
How long you have been a customer: [number of years]
Willingness to switch: [yes / willing to switch if they will not negotiate]
