It pays tonegotiate your bills.
One simple tactic for successfully talking through a negotiation is to not talk at all.
When it comes to haggling, a little silence can go a long way.
Redditor missfruff tried this tip and shared her experience.
She called AT&T to negotiate a new contract and see what kind of pricing they could offer.
Here’s how the conversation went down:
Me:
Hi, I’m looking to renew my contract.
I’ve been paying $108/month for U300 + 18 Mbps internet.
Your previous discount was amazing.
I can’t match it.
- Me
I’m not comfortable increasing by that much.
- [60 seconds of silence]
Ok ok, $119/month.
You won’t get a better deal than that.
- [2 minutes of silence]
Yeah, I keep looking.
- Nothing else I can do.
Does that price include the $10 HD fee?
