Lower a recurring bill

Prepare the user to negotiate a lower internet, phone, cable, or insurance bill, with competitor prices and a script.

Ask for it like this

  • “Help me lower my internet bill”
  • “Negotiate my phone bill down”
  • “My cable bill went up, what can I do?”

What your assistant does

  1. Get the provider, the plan, the current monthly price, and the user's ZIP code or city.
  2. Search competitor plans available at that location with comparable speed or coverage, and the provider's own current new-customer promotions.
  3. Summarize the leverage: the best competitor price, the provider's promo price, and how long the user has been a customer.
  4. Write a short phone script: ask for the retention or loyalty department, name the competitor offer, ask for a specific price, and know the walk-away point.
  5. List what to confirm in writing before hanging up: the new price, how long it lasts, and any new contract term.
