In terms of having sources that is true as naturally I meet a lot of people in various industries.  As for haggling though, that is the complete opposite of what I do. <\/p>\n<p>From my experience, most people actually want to be able to give you a discount or a break in price.  While a business obviously needs to remain financially solid, a big reason why people offer discounts is because they trust the person whom they are doing business with.  I know most people do it the aggressive way such as say going up to a company and constantly comparing them to a competitor or implying that they won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do business with them if they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t receive a discount.  I personally find that annoying myself and for most people I talk to it discourages them from wanting to do anything.<\/p>\n<p>For myself, the bottom line is I do business with a company that I like first and foremost while genuinely being okay with what they offer.  As time goes on, from my experience being a good customer makes them want to try and save me as much money as possible.  Basically, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even have to ask.  As a result as well, people have confidence in introducing me to others as well who can help in a different way.  I must admit, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m the exact same way as well where I really want to help people that I trust and I feel kind of bad when I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.<\/p>\n<p>By not expecting a discount and naturally building a genuine trust and relationship with others, I am fortunate to be able to have access to a lot of sources where I can get a lot of products and services for less.  The funny thing is, many times when it comes to say a smaller business I tell people not to give me a discount as I know that they are making almost nothing out of it and I wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to see them go bankrupt.  I guess that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153people do business with people\u00e2\u20ac\u009d quote holds true for all of this as well too.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone just recently told me that in order to save a lot of money one thing I must have is some kind of secret list of some sort where I can get everything that most people buy for way less and that I must have haggled companies somehow to get that benefit.
