Stop Margin Erosion with Discount Discipline

Most B2B teams discount reactively. Mature pricing programs document discount benchmarks by segment, deal size, and contract length, with structured approval thresholds (rep, manager, deal desk, CFO). The combination protects margin while preserving competitive deal velocity.
