Hey Girlfriend,
Is negotiating a breeze for you? Or does it scare you to death? For most people, negotiating either comes naturally OR it's one of the things you'll do anything to avoid. IF you're someone who likes to avoid conflict or worries about coming across as RUDE or "Not Nice", then you're definitely going to want to read today's tips... But before I share my ideas, I want you to listen to a quick audio clip from a bride named Shannon from Omaha, Nebraska that demonstrates the RIGHT ATTITUDE for dealing with greedy wedding vendors... Click Here to listen to Shannon's story... Good stuff, huh? The great news is, there's more! Keep on reading IF you want to learn how totake charge of every negotiation and get WHAT YOU WANT at a price you can afford. I explain it ALL for you "step-by-step" below... Enjoy!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** "The Attitude" For Huge Savings **Okay, in case you didn't listen to the clip, Shannon shared a quick story about how she stood up for herself and didn't allow a local limo company to charge her the infamous "WEDDING MARK-UP"...While I hope you would have done exactly the same thing as Shannon in this situation, my fear is that you might fall for some of these "money traps" without even knowing it... I mean so many brides seem to lose their minds when it comes to what is a reasonable price for wedding things and just accept whatever vendors tell them... Others are too fearful to argue, question or negotiate and just "give in" to the prices... For example, I recently met a young girl who spent over $10,000 at some exclusive bridal boutique on dresses for her and, get this, 11 bridesmaids! Now I'm sure they'll all look beautiful, but COME ON! What was she thinking? I mean, EVEN IF you're totally rich, why pay through the nose when it's SO EASY to find absolutely beautiful wedding items and top notch services for FAR LESS? Well, if you want to have MORE wedding for LESS money, you need to embrace this important concept that I repeat over and over again: "It's YOUR WEDDING, SO ACT LIKE IT!" You're spending the money, so you're in charge (not them!). It is YOU who decides what price you're willing to pay and what's reasonable... It is NEVER RUDE to "ask for what you want" or to "shop around for the best deal"... In fact, you have every right to DEMAND the lowest price... AND great service!!! You see, a critical key to negotiating successfully begins with communicating at an unconscious level that you're in charge and just giving them "the opportunity" to MEET YOUR NEEDS... Trust me, this approach is going to save you a fortune! It's exactly what Shannon did and what you should do over and over again... Because people will TRY to push you around and see how much they can get from you... So you need to push right back and show them who's boss... after all, they'll be working for you...IF they're lucky! Now if you're thinking this approach doesn't sound realistic or like something you can easily do, just go back up and listen to Shannon's audio clip again for a little inspiration... Can you see how passionate she was about getting her way? Do you think she gives a darn what someone's "WEDDING MARKUP" or "NORMAL" prices are? Do you think she gives in easily and puts someone else's needs before hers? NO WAY! And YOU shouldn't either! By the way, the "WEDDING MARK-UP" is one of the most common SCAMS brides encounter (and often fall for)... So make sure you don't make the MISTAKE of giving your business to a vendor that has one price for regular events and another price that is OUTRAGEOUSLY MORE for a wedding! Instead, strive to get YOUR OWN SPECIAL PRICE knowing you are different and special... because you are! TIP: When inquiring about pricing in certain situations, don't mention your event is wedding at first so you can see what their "normal" pricing is... Ultimately, you must BELIEVE that you're going to make your dreams come true WITH OR WITHOUT whoever you're negotiating with... If they want to help you, fabulous! If they don't, great! You'll find someone else who will. This is "THE ATTITUDE" that will make everything happen for you like it did (and does) for me. Let me know how it works for you! I'll write you again soon.
