Brilliant Negotiating For Entrepreneurs

Written by: Jim Meisenheimer

Article Overview: Entrepreneurs spend a lot of time thinking about how to sell more. Don't forget being an entrepreneur also involves a lot of buying. Learn to use these power phrases the next time you're making a big purchase and you'll save a bundle.

Brilliant Negotiating For Entrepreneurs

Just got back from San Jose Cabo Mexico. Spent two days there with my
Mastermind group. We told stories and swapped moneymaking ideas for
our businesses. Naturally, I came home energized and raring to go.

My desk is loaded with stuff, so this will be a short letter.

I want to share a powerful negotiating tip that I pieced together
from two different sources. It's a gem! At least I think so.

And you should save it - cause if you do, it'll save you a bundle over
your lifetime, especially with big purchases.

The two sources for this versatile negotiating tip are George Ross,
from the Apprentice Show Boardroom and Bill Lee, who is a good friend,
author, and a master salesman.

Here's the tip - everybody negotiates. Some people enjoy negotiating
while others detest it.

The next time you find yourself negotiating with a seller, consider
this strategy, if you're determined to get a better price.

You say, "You gotta do better."

Wait for a response.

Then say, "You're getting real close."

Wait for a response.

Then say, "You're almost there."

These power phrases can pull extra concessions from the seller - which
means more money in your pocket.

It's a powerful tip and I hope it helps you save a bundle.




Start selling more . . .

Fundraising for 3rd world Entrepreneurs - How great to learn that Evan is doing something for Entrepreneurs in Africa! It just makes me even more thankful to be part of this forum! After helping create a new charity for animals in my local community last year, I created a vision for a charity empowering Women Entrepreneurs. It won't happen for a while yet, but I know it is something I will do within the next few years. As we allow ourselves to think bigger, the opportunity to impact people becomes much bigger as well. Does anyone else have a desire to really make a difference in the world through this means?
