- Negotiation makes the seller feel that you are an informed buyer- There are no particular rules regarding the amount of discount that a seller can provide to the buyer. It totally depends on the negotiation skills of the purchaser. The word ‘no’ can go a long way in such transactions because the seller feels that you are aware of the market scenario. He is more likely to slash down the price in this case.
- Your experience comes across when you haggle- Relentless negotiation reflects the confidence and experience of the buyer. When you resist compromise, the seller unconsciously accepts the conditions that you set on the discussion. You can prepare yourself by studying the style and method of negotiation that the seller uses so that you can put up a tough front.
