A discount is a price set in the sales conversation. The distribution of discounts is the pricing policy you actually have.
If almost every deal needs a discount, list price is theatre and realised price is the product. Map discount by segment, by seller, and by quarter-end. The usual pattern is that a small set of deals trains the rest of the book. Fixing that is a pricing-policy and win-rate problem, not a motivation problem.
The move that usually makes it worse: Banning discounts without a segmentation, which loses the deals you should win at a lower price and does not recover the ones you should not be in.
Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures.

Strategy School lesson: how-to-price
Yes — on a named segment, with a named reason, and with a floor. An untitled discount is a price change you did not decide.
Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures.
That is how list price becomes even less real. Fix realised price and the discount policy together.
