No. 29 Why Read? You requested this topic, so here it is See my tips for successful negotiations Everything is negotiable, but that doesn’t mean that you should turn every discussion into a negotiation. Save your energy for big-ticket items – buying a home, a car, expensive furnishings, or your salary. Most people find negotiating to be embarrassing, rude, and stressful, but it can save you big bucks so get over yourself.
Excellent as always Angelo. I did the HP 12C thing MANY times over the years in negotiations for cars and homes - it did switch up the dynamic. For me the most powerful thing has been the BATNA - or the point of indifference. When buying/selling houses and cars, I always have that number - given all the variables - as in your story. If I can't buy something for that number I'm happy to not have that thing, and if I can't sell for that number I'm happy to keep that thing.
Good one, Angelo! I bet you know some good “power moves” in negotiating anything. Consider that for a future post. You know the internet loves listicles. So, “top ten things not to do when negotiating today”
It's always good to have prices from more than one dealer and if possible do your negotiations on the last day of the business month.
Dealers get bonuses from the company based on how many cars they move.that month.
