Negotiating Skills

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

The best hagglers arrive early. Be prepared to bargain and do it with smile and charm. Package items up; if someone is interested in the buggy why not ask them a few questions, for example the child’s age and sex. They may be interested in buying a tricycle and a few Thomas the Tank Engine toys – your original sale could double!

If you think someone’s offer is too low, politely say no and tell them why you feel it is worth the price you are asking – expert hagglers aren’t fearful of early rejection and often bounce back later with a higher proposal.

Move things around
If some items aren’t selling well move them to a different position on the stall as customers may have missed them when walking past.
