The One Habit to Take Away

Negotiate, Negotiate and Negotiate - After I first talked to Limor, my cell phone provider sent me a massive bill for over $400 because I spent a month out of the country and racked up a lot of extra charges.

I had spoken to Limor a couple days earlier and instantly took Limor’s advice to contact my cell phone provider.

I told them I had been a loyal customer for many years and explained why my bill was larger than normal. With a little magic from there end we were able to bring my phone bill down from $400 to $160. I saved $240 for making a 20 minute phone call. That would work out to $720 an hour!
