The best way to make a good deal is to have the ability to walk away from it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Never make too good of a deal. It sounds a little counterintuitive, but the deals that are too good of a deal for you in the long run will end up hurting you. A lot of people in our business don't realize that. They think their job is to go in a room and negotiate the highest price.
I've been making deals all my life.
No matter how good a deal sounds, if your name goes on the bottom line, you need to understand it and be sure you'll be able to pay. You are responsible for yourself forever. Forever.
You can forgive yourself a great deal.
Practice negotiating, and hone your style and skills with low-consequence transactions. Call the phone company and threaten to switch providers if they won't give you a better deal on your service going forward. Go to a boutique and ask for a discount.
There are plenty of recommendations on how to get out of trouble cheaply and fast. Most of them come down to this: Deny your responsibility.
Pull the good out of it and not worry about the drawbacks.
Every deal is a regulated deal. Regulators will tell you how to take your money home.
Always go into meetings or negotiations with a positive attitude. Tell yourself you're going to make this the best deal for all parties.
Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.
