- Keep your maximum price secret.
- Pick a good time to negotiate. Mid-mornings are best in shops when they are quieter. November and December are good times to renew insurance policies as insurers are less busy. Deal with double glazing firms at the start of the year.
- Check what competitors are offering and don't be afraid to quote these.
- Be confident but not aggressive or angry. Keep your tone friendly and polite - a little humour and good grace go a long way.
- Never accept the first offer - this usually prompts a better offer.
- Ask to speak to a supervisor - junior sales staff don't have the authority to offer a dscount.
- If you can't get money off, you may be able to get extra accessories or extra warranty thrown in.
