When buying a particular goods or services, do you take your time in negotiations or do you simply pay whatever you are told? For me most times i simply pay if i have the money cause i do not have the strength to argue. There are times where i do drag a little with the seller though.
Do you like negotiations?

Indeed, I like to negotiate the price first and if it cannot be negotiated, I pay. In malls, if buy clothes, they are all fixed, but outside a mall, we can negotiate it depending on a particular type of business. Here in my city, there are Muslim sellers, before we negotiate for a discount, they give a discount right away, which is so shocking.
, so I cannot just leave, but buy.

That is best to explode our feeling, I, too, and leave right away but only sometimes.
Negotiation is essential most especially when it has to do with businesses.
I enjoy haggling on occasion, especially when I know the price of the product is excessive. However, if I buy in thrift stores or from street vendors, I try not to haggle any longer.
How do you mean by we don't run effective marketing in Nigeria? I think you have not really been exposed to a lot of businesses to think that way.
It depends on what we are negotiating. I love negotiating deals and I don't like haggling for prices of goods and services. If it is business deals, I would sit on that negotiation table.
I only negotiate on something very important like business that requires additional space. In the mall I rent small space, I want to add 1 meter then I negotiated it to mall manager and was convinced. My business is somewhat spacious now from 100 meters to 2 meters wide.
Same here. Sometimes negotiations are important but I do not have the energy for them.
Negotiation is vital and instrumental to the success of a business.
Yes I sometimes negotiate if the price is high enough, if they give me a lower price that's what I expect, if they don't give me a lower price I will usually look elsewhere.
If I buy from a big shop in a Mall, their price is fixed. There is no point negotiating for a better price. If I shop at stores in the wet market, the sellers actually expect you to negotiate. They are prepared to lower the price a bit if you negotiate.
You are absolutely right. Sometimes it is a matter of character. I feel that I am too shy to start negotiations. I love peace.
Negotiations is not something you should be shy about. When your interests are at stake, you have to step in and advocate for a shifting of grounds. Negotiations is a vital skill everyone should have.You are absolutely right. Sometimes it is a matter of character. I feel that I am too shy to start negotiations. I love peace.
This is true. Negotiations are necessary sometimes. I think I must be brave.
