Recommendation

Chronic hagglers get a bad rap. Some cultures consider hagglers to be cheapskates, rabble-rousers and time-wasters. Tyler Tervooren, the founder of e-learning platform Riskology, refutes these stereotypes. He argues that negotiating is in fact a core function of everyday life and that people shouldn’t shy away from hashing out the best deals for themselves. Reluctant hagglers can get started on the right foot with a few simple reminders from Tervooren. While the article addresses a male audience, anyone can look beyond the baseball metaphors and gender assumptions to find some helpful negotiating tips. 

Take-Aways

  • Though many shy away from it, haggling is a part of everyday life.
  • Don’t get hung up on winning the negotiation. Be flexible to find a solution that works for all parties.
  • Never reveal your hand first, lest you undervalue yourself.
