Negotiate Professionally •The “best price” offered by a sales rep is usually not the best
price.
•Don’t treat the Vendor as simply your Adversary. Try to make
them understand the benefits of whatever engagement you’re
negotiating.
•They will always try to play to the needs of your internal
customer. MAKE SURE YOUR CUSTOMERS DON’T PLAY TO
THESE NEEDS.12
