Description

This Skill Bit shows that “Minimizing” or “belittling” purchases to negotiate better terms involves understating the importance or urgency of buying.

Clarifying product benefits and competitive analysis bolster negotiation positions. Flexibility is key, but maintaining integrity ensures long-term trust in business relationships.
