Seasonal discounts feel inevitable in ecommerce. But what if 50% off sales are actually a symptom of broken pricing strategy?

Viacheslav Sabirov, founder of BATNA, joins us to explore a radically different approach: letting customers negotiate in real time. Instead of blanket markdowns and end-of-season fire sales, BATNA lets shoppers name their price through a structured dialogue. Drawing on his background in retail pricing at an $8B FMCG company, Viacheslav explains why traditional pricing is often guesswork, and how seasonal discounts train customers to wait.
