I was looking at some cell phone ads today and it reminded how this year my contract is expiring and so I can decide to either stay with my current carrier or not. Usually this means getting a new phone at minimum in exchange for you signing a new contract. That then made me wonder, is it better to negotiate a deal just before your contract expires or after?<\/p>\n
When you think about it, for services like these you can usually find a good deal anytime as long as you have some kind of connection. Another example is how you can always get companies to drop its prices based on what a competitor is offering. Overall though, I would say it\u2019s probably better to negotiate it before your service expires. The reason is pretty simply as to the business it probably costs a lot more marketing dollars to get you back as oppose to keeping you on.<\/p>\n
If you think about it too, before the contract expires you can negotiate on the fact that you are a current customer as well as using any competitor offers that you see. So it helps to increase the odds of getting a better deal I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
