I gotta tell you I think these are words sales professionals should live by. The guy who said that number nine is wrong is the guy that gives everything away and will probably never be a long term sales professional. Negotiate product not price! I think that should be an adm to the 10 commandments!

To negotiate the product instead of price is hardly possible in services sales as the main focus always remains on optimum value and matching the client’s requirement. If you don’t do this someone else will do. So the better approach would be to know customer budget first and then build or propose the solution….can we make it additional commandment
