A few rules :)

Happy Sunday to you! I want to share some of the deals that I've gotten by politely negotiating with merchants.

Rules #1:

It's very important to build rapport with the sales asociate. By doing this, it will give you maximum advantage when you will ask them later on in the conversation if they can "give you a deal". Building rapport simply means asking certain personal questions or talking on a personal level with the person. It can be "I love your hair...who's your haidresser" or "I think you served me last time I was here"...as long as what you're saying is honest, you are building rapport. Always keep smiling and be polite - treat people the way you'd want to be treated. Everyone likes a deal, so if they have the power to give you a discount, they definitely will if they find you deserve it.

Rule #2:

Almost wherever I go, I ask the key question: "What's the best price you can give me?" and believe it or not, most times I get a discount! Sometimes it's very small and sometimes it's rather big!! Don't be embarassed or afraid or rejection...the worst that can happen is that the person says no, in which case you're not worst off than not asking at all!!!

Sweet dealin'

Wherever I go, I always try and get a great deal!! I want to share some of my secret tips with you in this blog. Enjoy!!!
