🗣️ Script Overview
A. When Price Dropped Before Order Was Placed
“I understand that you’re seeing a lower quote now. Cashkr’s prices change dynamically based on real-time market value and demand for each model.
The price you see depends on multiple live factors like resale trends, new launches, and overall market demand.
Just like stock prices, our system refreshes device values regularly to ensure you always get a fair and updated offer.”
If customer insists:
“I completely understand — however, once a quote changes in the system, it updates for all users across India. It’s not manually controlled by anyone.”
B. When Price Changed After Inspection
“During pickup, our vendor rechecked your device condition and features.
The final value may differ if there are minor issues like scratches, battery wear, or missing accessories.
These details affect the final inspection-based value — but we assure you, the price is always system-calculated and transparent.”
If customer disagrees:
“I understand your concern. If you believe the inspection result was incorrect, I can raise a Recheck Request for your order so our team can review it.”
C. When Customer Says “Another Website is Offering More”
“We appreciate you checking other options — we’d be happy to review their offer.
Could you please share a screenshot of the final quoted price and platform name?”
“Cashkr always tries to offer the best possible market price, and in many cases, we can match competitive offers once verified.”
(CX should forward screenshot to Ops or Pricing team for manual review if needed.)
D. When Price Increased (Customer Re-checks After Few Days)
“Good news! It looks like your model’s market value increased slightly.
Cashkr updates prices live from our resale index — so when market demand rises, your offer also improves automatically.”
“You can lock the new price immediately by completing the order now — once placed, it stays fixed.”
E. When Price Reduced After Order Expired
“Since the order wasn’t completed within the lock-in period, the previous price expired.
Cashkr’s prices refresh daily, and once a quote expires, it’s recalculated using current resale data.
You can create a new order anytime to get the latest accurate value.”
F. Customer Assurance
“We want you to get the right value — not an inflated or unfair one.
Cashkr doesn’t reduce prices manually; everything runs on an automated pricing engine that reflects the actual market trends.”
“You can recheck the price anytime — no login required — to ensure transparency.”
G. Communication Templates
Chat / WhatsApp:
“Hi 👋 Cashkr prices update automatically based on market demand and model resale trends.

Email:

Cashkr’s device values are dynamic and refresh based on current market trends, new product launches, and demand shifts.
Your recent quote changed as part of this update. We assure you that the current price displayed is accurate and fair.
