* $100-$150
* Over \$150

"What's most important to you?"

* No contract flexibility
* Specific features (sports channels, smart home, etc.)

* Current provider and pricing
* Pain points or issues
* Usage patterns
* Satisfaction level

## Presenting Options

### Good/Better/Best Structure

**Good** (\$50/mo):

* Basic tier, meets minimum needs
* Budget-friendly
* May have limitations

**Better** (\$75/mo):

* Middle tier, most popular
* Good balance of price and features
* Recommended for most customers

**Best** (\$100/mo):

### Pro/Con Format

**Provider A**:

✅ Pros:

## Red Flags to Watch For

<Warning>
  Avoid recommending offers with:

  * Unclear pricing or hidden fees
  * Very long contracts (36+ months) without good reason
  * Extremely limited availability
  * Poor provider reputation
</Warning>

## Commission Considerations

Balance commission with customer needs:

**High commission offers** might be:

* Right for the customer (premium services they'll use)
* Wrong for the customer (overpriced for their needs)

**Build long-term relationships** by:

* Prioritizing customer fit over commission
* Being transparent about tradeoffs
* Following up after installation

<Tip>
  Happy customers lead to referrals and repeat business. Don't sacrifice customer satisfaction for short-term commission gains.
