Yes, it will help with negotiations but in the end, you want a vendor you like and trust&#8230; and visa versa.<\/p><p><strong>2) Let the vendor speak<\/strong><br \/>The more they speak the more you&#8217;ll learn and you want them to sell their services.<\/p><p><strong>3) Research other vendor pricing first<\/strong><br \/>Coming prepared will build your confidence and shows them you&#8217;re not a pushover.<\/p><p><strong>4) Take your time<\/strong><br \/>The longer the vendor spends with you, the lower the end price will be! Why? They&#8217;ll feel pressured to make the sale because of all the time invested in you. \ud83d\ude09<\/p><p><strong>6) Bring in the big guns<\/strong><br \/>Like it or not, your parents or friends may have more experience negotiating. No harm in getting help! And negotiators LOVE negotiating so they&#8217;ll gladly roll up their sleeves for you.<\/p><p><strong>7) Aim for honesty and transparency<\/strong><br \/>You want this to be a win-win. If the vendor feels like they underpriced you they might just try to cut corners.<\/p><p>Don&#8217;t forget&#8230;. get it in writing! Make sure the quote is mega-detailed!
