It is the most overused, idiotic phrase, that most morons will always use, as they probably, get a misplaced sense of "doing good". (i.e I am not cheating you, it will help us, both)
I did work with a few people who convinced me that working with them, would benefit me (hopefully, I am wiser), and nowadays, whenever I hear the phrase, I run.
People see my company's work or the clients, get impressed (probably), and tell me to work with them at a discounted rate. Either, they are still figuring out how they will make a profit or like most Indians just want a discount for the sake of wanting a discount! Whatever their reason, my angle "used" to be, to increase the number of clients, and I absolutely loved repeating the same mistake over n over, hoping to find an awesome client (warning; it never worked so far). And, I would repeatedly fall for that stupid line.
Any sale will only close if the seller and buyer are happy with the price. When you try to convince somebody by making unreasonable demands, that person will surely realize at some point, that he was an ass. And, then you will have 1 guy who hates you, for life.
