Principle 2: A single source of truth for AI

Sales and pricing

Checking a discount

Before

What discount can I offer this client?

After

Using only the current price list (“Pricing 2026” in the sales wiki) and the discount policy, tell me the maximum discount for a three-year contract. Quote the lines you used, and tell me if the two documents disagree.

Your part

Open both documents. If they disagree, ask the owner which one is right, and get the other one fixed.

Why it works: Comparing the two documents gives you a chance to spot conflicting discounts before you quote a price.

Principle 6: Challenge and bias awareness

Sales and pricing

Getting honest feedback on a proposal

Before

Is this proposal good?

After

Review this proposal as the client’s procurement lead, who has two cheaper alternatives. What would make you say no? Be specific, and don’t soften it.

Your part

Fix the weaknesses it finds, then ask a colleague who knows the client.

Why it works: A specific critic with a reason to say no finds problems that a request for general feedback misses.
