GettingToYesIt’s a rainy afternoon. You just received a phone call from a client.

It has been days since the phone rang, months even.

They ask, “How much for this, this, and this?”

You respond, “Well…uh…I usually charge $$$$$.”

They say, “What? That’s too expensive! How about $$?”

You look over at the stack of bills. You respond, “Sure, no prob.”

Don’t do this. Get what you’re worth or at least close to it. NEGOTIATE!

Most importantly, don’t be afraid to say no. No sense in taking a job without profit.

If you need help, I recommend the book Getting To Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury.
