Too Expensive
Renewals week, and Meenakshi's salon subscription lapses Friday. She says Rs 36,000 is too expensive for what the app delivers. Probe before you pitch.

He speaks first.
I like you people. I'm not saying the app is useless. But I counted, three months. Twenty-eight bookings a month, girls who mostly would have found the best salon in the sector anyway. Thirty-six thousand a year, plus commission, for that. Look, it's just too expensive for what it is.
The brief comes after you sign in.
The situation
The row turned red this morning.
Renewals week. Meenakshi's Salon & Studio lapses Friday. She switched auto-renewal off three weeks ago. She says Rs 36,000 is too much for what the app does.
You are the partner success executive. Ninety salons sit in your cluster. This one has been amber for a month.
- Friday is the lapse date.
- She has already turned renewal off.
- Price is the objection she is willing to say out loud.

About twenty minutes.
You sign in with your email, read the brief, and have the conversation. A short reflection comes first. Then the coaching debrief, on what you did. The transcript stays with the session. You do not see a score.

Before you start
What people ask.
Who am I in this conversation?
You're the Partner Success Executive handling her account. Meenakshi Pillai owns the salon and is deciding whether to renew. You get the full brief after you sign in.
Do I need SaaS or salon industry experience to practise this?
No. The brief has the fee and renewal date. You're practising the price objection before you reach for features or a discount.
What do I leave with?
A transcript of what you actually said, and a coaching debrief on what it cost you. You answer a short reflection before that debrief appears. You do not see a score.
Can a team run the same scenario?
Yes. Each person gets their own conversation. A pilot is how a cohort starts: same brief, separate transcripts, one place for the programme lead to read them.
