# “Can you look at this deal?” _€200. Forty-five minutes._

A rep you used to manage sends you a procurement email at 22:00 with “thoughts?”. You read the thread, you see the discount they are about to give away, and you type the counter for free. Sales coaching is the best-paid niche in the whole industry, and you are doing it in DMs. This is the setup that prices it: a 45-minute deal session with the deal as intake, a €70 review for the cold email or the call recording, a Friday clinic people pay to sit in, and a letter that walks through one real negotiation a week.

The deal Enterprise SaaS · €140k ACV · 3-year term proposed · procurement asked for 25% off and annual billing · close date 30 Sep

What do you need from the call? A counter that keeps the multi-year without giving the 25%. My VP wants it closed this quarter and I am about to fold.

## The session they book  
instead of _the 22:00 DM._

One session type, forty-five minutes, two intake questions: the deal with its numbers and dates, and what they need from the call. You read the thread before, not during. Lunch and early-evening windows, a fifteen-minute hold while they pay, a Meet link in both calendars. Price it where the niche already is: €150 per 45 minutes in Europe, $200–500 a session for newer coaches in the US.

What you send back

## The deliverable is  
_the deal plan._

Their ask, your counter, what to trade instead of discounting, the next email drafted, and the walk-away line. Written within the hour after the call and sent from the booking. It is what the rep forwards to their VP, what makes the €200 expensable, and what makes a dispute almost impossible: the work is on the page.

_Deal plan · €140k enterprise · Jonas → Sara · 24 Sep_

**Their ask** — 25% off and annual billing. Translation: procurement has a savings target and a quarter-end of their own.

**Your counter** — Hold price. Offer 8% for the three-year commitment paid annually in advance, or 0% with quarterly billing. Two options, both yours.

**Trade, don't discount** — They want the number for their scorecard. Give the onboarding package (list €12k) at no charge instead; it costs you a week and reads as a 9% saving.

**Next email** — Drafted below. Send Thursday morning, not tonight. Ask for the call with the economic buyer, not procurement.

**Walk-away: nothing below 6% on a three-year, ever**

Sessions first, because deal coaching is what the DMs already are. Then the review form for the emails and recordings, the Friday clinic priced like a workshop, the letter that fills all three, and the free request form that runs your own pipeline.

_Jonas · one negotiation a week · Tuesday 07:30_

#### Deal #22 — Procurement asked for 25%. The rep gave 8% and got the three-year.

The deal

Enterprise SaaS, €140k ACV, three-year proposed, close date at quarter-end. Procurement arrives in week eleven with a savings target and a deadline of their own.

Their first ask

25% off list and annual billing, framed as “standard for a three-year”. It is not standard. It is the number on their scorecard.

The counter-offer sequencepaid

Four emails, verbatim and anonymised: hold, two options, the onboarding trade, the request for the economic buyer. Where the rep nearly folded, and the line that stopped it.

The email that closed itpaid

Sent Thursday 09:10. 8% for three years paid annually in advance, onboarding included, signed the following Tuesday. The full text.

Friday clinic

This week's hot seat: a €40k renewal with a champion who just left. Two seats open in the clinic · €69 a month · applyform.app/c/jonas-sells/community

Rung four · Newsletter

## What the weekly issue  
_actually contains._

One negotiation, start to finish. The deal and the first ask are free, which is what gets it forwarded round a sales floor; the counter-offer sequence and the closing email are the paid part, which is what gets it renewed. Once a month, a script swipe file. That is the whole format, every Tuesday before the pipeline review.

Paid sales newsletters price between €10 and €20 a month, well above the €7 business-category median. €15 holds when every issue contains an email a rep can send that day.

Rung three · Community

## One clinic a week,  
not _another Slack._

The biggest sales podcast closed its paid club after 300 founding members because coaching, community and courses “were three separate products” and members tired of the feed. The lesson is not that communities fail; it is that the product has to be one live moment a week that people would pay for on its own. A Friday clinic with a hot seat is that moment. ApplyForm grants and revokes access as people pay and cancel; you run Friday.

-   Monday
    
    **Deal-of-the-week thread**
    
    Members post the deal they are stuck on with numbers and a close date. The two most useful get Friday's hot seat.
    
-   Wednesday
    
    **Cold-email channel**
    
    Members post one email, peers reply with a rewrite. Anything longer than one email becomes a €70 review.
    
-   Friday
    
    **Live deal clinic, 45 min**
    
    Two hot seats, the room argues the counter, you close. Recorded; the recording is the paid part of the letter.

    **War room week**
    
    Daily 20-minute stand-up in the last week of the quarter. The reason people renew in the week they most want to cancel.
    

Why these prices

## Numbers from  
the _market._

**$80,390** average revenue in sales coaching, the highest-earning niche

The ICF's 2025 study puts sales coaching above executive and career coaching. Reps and their managers are used to paying for this.

**$200–500** per 1:1 session for newer sales coaches

Established coaches run $990–3,000 a month retainers. A €200 deal session sits at the bottom of the entry band, with the deal plan as the deliverable.

**€150** for 45 minutes of deal coaching in Europe

Published EU pricing for a single deal session, with €190 and €390 packages. €200 with intake and a written plan is a fair step up.

**300+** members the largest sales club had when it closed

30 Minutes to President's Club shut its subscription to sell $299 courses instead. Community fatigue is real; one live clinic a week is the answer to it.

**$99 / mo** for an all-courses sales subscription

The self-serve alternative buyers compare a €69 clinic with. A live hot seat on your own deal is what the courses cannot do.

**$250–900** for a two-hour to full-day negotiation training

Team training is quoted at $250 for two hours and $900 for a day. The free discovery-call request is how those engagements reach your CRM.

Market figures from published industry and platform data, September 2026, rounded. Your prices, volume and retention will differ.

Common worries

## “Reps won't pay.  
_Their company will._”

Both are true, and the prices are set for it. A €200 session and a €70 review sit under what most managers can approve without procurement, and a rep with a €140k deal on the line does not wait for approval. Team engagements at four figures stay off-platform: the free discovery-call request is how they arrive, the CRM is where you work them.

**“Can I say ‘close 30% more deals’?”**

No. The deliverable is the deal plan or the review, and it is on the page by the deadline; that is what you promise. No revenue or win-rate claims anywhere, and no testimonials with numbers you cannot show. For consumers in the EU the 14-day withdrawal right applies to packages; disclose it and ask for consent to start straight away.

**“Call recordings are the customer's data.”**

Say in the form that reps may only share recordings their company permits, with the customer's name and any account data removed, and that you delete the file once the review is sent. Most sequences and discovery calls can be reviewed from a transcript with names stripped.

**“I've watched sales communities die.”**

So have your members. Sell one Friday clinic, cap it at fifty, run the quarter-end war room, and put the group on a quarterly plan so the slow month in August does not become a cancellation.

## Make the 22:00 DM  
_a €200 deal session._

Tell the agent your LinkedIn handle. It reads what you post, proposes the deal session, the review form and the Friday clinic with prices from the market, and sets them up when you create the account.
