When I visited Boots, I had the list of items I am to purchase from a supermarket there. The list is short but I will be buying in bulk each of these items. While it is my usual practice to buy at asda or Sainsbury’s online, I decided to go out to while away the time by shopping with a friend. I guess I need to go out to get fresh air or to rub off the stress from work. I worked in a company endlessly negotiating for sales contracts from a wide variety of clients. So negotiation is my forte. I wonder how I can make my skill in negotiation work magic to me this time.
The art of negotiation has been widely used as a tool to reach an agreement. In political, economic or commercial diplomacy, negotiation is regarded as a double-edged sword, it could make or break a relationship. In buying and selling, negotiation is part of the creative ways to make the buyer and seller meet halfway, that is, to enable each other to attain its goal, for the seller to realize a profit and for the buyer to obtain satisfaction from the product or service being offered. When properly used in online commerce, negotiation can potentially help you save a lot of money. According to Robert Pagliarini, the power of negotiation is pervasive and surprising; it allows one to go deeper into the depths of human nature to understand the workings of the mind and emotion and finally unleashing the desire to make the other person believe what we would like them to believe or act as we would wish them to act.
I have tried to negotiate with a certain online store about the product that I want to purchase by loading my cart with items and ask for a discount. I have had some success in doing so and saved as much as 15%-20%. While you will be meeting some rejections of your request, you will find one that will openly negotiate for the terms.
So try and try until you finally get one.
