I was actually able to call the company that our auto loan is with and negotiate down our rate by 75 basis points just last week! And I didn't even have to fill out any paperwork. That 5-10 minutes of haggling easily saved me over $300 in interest! Thanks Sarah!

I've been reading it my whole lunch hour and I recommended it to my coworkers. I read this article on glennbeck.com the other day (http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/20643/) about the Seven Golden Words. I've only tried it twice, once on a credit card rate for work and once yesterday at a jewelry store, and it didn't work yet, but I really like the idea of it as an approach to haggling that won't make me feel like a jerk. Anyway, thought you might appreciate it. Keep up the good work! Sarah Hey Daniel,

As a former employee at an Apple retail store who (along with many coworkers) had a LOT of latitude to give discounts, freebies, etc. I can't emphasize enough how many people BLEW it by being coming in with bossy and abusive attitudes. They left angry and with a still-broken ipod when they could have just cooled off, smiled, and left happy with a brand new one for free. “Be likable” is HUGE.
