Prices are set by negotiation, and they can be changed by negotiation. In this CD/MP3 you will learn to recognize negotiation tactics used against you. You must discover and pay close attention to what is going on in the other person’s head, as well as to what is going on in your head. Price negotiations are not determined by the strength of one’s arguments, but by research and a well-prepared sequence of probing questions.
