When you want to do business with anybody, don't beat around the bush; thinking that by playing around you'll soften them, so that you can get the best out of the deal. In most cases, that doesn't work.

You need to learn to appeal to people's interest, and not beating around the bush. Before meeting up with them, you should have already prepared an offer that they'll find very difficult to reject. And when you start discussing with them, go straight to your point.

No matter what their counter point may be, if you think that your offer is very good - just make sure you keep on repeating your offer into their ears, and make them see the benefits they'll be getting by agreeing to what you're offering.

The mistake most people make is thinking that by becoming friends with the person, you'll be able to give them an offer that isn't good enough; and they'll accept it. But It will surprise you that, after all your beating around the bush, and been friendly - they'll say no to your offer.

And you'll start thinking to yourself - why did you even bother been nice? And beating around the bush? You must understand that, if the deal you're offering is good enough, they'll accept it; and you don't have to beat around the bush.
