The Family Discount

What price do you charge them?

The Family Discount

You own a small business. A relative asks for a large discount, saying family should help each other. Giving it would mean earning almost nothing from several days of work.

What price do you charge them?

Then ask

  • Would it change things if they could easily afford the full price?
  • What if they once helped you when you had no money?
  • When does a favour become something you are owed?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
