bargaining tool/credit crunch

[hippy-chick]

Just had a session with a rep that I've taken on ranges with. I've already got the products, so have agreed to paying for training for 2 days, and will get some retail in too, they've got some nice gift sets for christmas which will be a good start.

Now, I haven't really agreed to anything yet, not signed anything, not booked anything, so was wondering with today's climate, would it be worth be bargaining with them for either a reduction on the training or get them to throw in some free promo stuff? Or do you think I'll be perceived as a trouble-maker before I even start with the company?

I would say there's no harm in seeing whether they offer any discounts or could throw something in for free or whatever. I think there's no harm in asking - they can always just say no!

But then I am a Yorkshire/Scot cross. I have the shortest possible arms and deepest ever pockets... :irked:

You can only ask, and they can only say no........I'd say it was worth a shot

I always say if you don't ask you don't get!

Its worth asking!
If you ask politely there is no way you can be perceived as a trouble causer!!!
