alimehboob1234 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Can you suggest some DOs and DONTs while negotiating with buyers about the project. What most of the buyers focus on, what they usually ignore and what they cant ignore? (Your real experience please). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 We shouldn’t be negotiating with buyers. If we need to we can give a SMALL discount from our asking price but not routinely. Just send them an offer. Let them take it or leave it.Only desperate sellers and amateurs negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is preferable to state your price for each project without requesting for negotiations. As for me, i don’t negotiate my price. I only offer discounts which will reflect in the price of the offer i send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never negotiate prices - if they don’t want my prices and services, there are hundreds of other people who can help them.Mind you, the confidence to say “No” only comes if you camn be confident you will still have a good pipeline of work.

billieariel Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 If someone truly wants to purchase your services, they will not even try to negotiate.EDIT: Unless they’re truly in trouble financially, in which case I’m always willing to adjust to their budget, but these are rare exceptions.

psychic101 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Yes, you have to offer a service that you can do and make money with or it is not worth doing! It has to be equitable, win/win!Fiverr has it set up for both sides to win.All The Best,Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true I had to start with a low price, not much different than my current one, but still the buyer liked it enough to accept it as it was.
