So, we just finished day three of our seminar here in Virginia. These past two days have been about negotiations.
Don’t have a business? Trust me, everything in life is a negotiation, from negotiating the price of a house to negotiating the terms of a loan to negotiating the cost of having your yard mowed!
Did you know you can negotiate in department stores? I found a jacket I wanted at Belks. It had been marked down once but was still more than I wanted to pay. I asked the salesperson for a better price but she said they weren’t marking down again for another week.
I didn’t want to come back and what if it sold before it was marked down again? I’d lose out! So, I asked to speak to the manager. I told her what I was willing to pay to take it right then. She checked and came back with a “yes”! I got the reduction I wanted and they sold merchandise, win-win.
