RE: Doing business promotion on Social media

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

My negotiation skills are not very good. If I have to sell something and the person would ask for lower price without much of effort in getting a higher price, I will give it up. I feel very shy when it comes to negotiating. I always feel what will the other person think if I ask for more price, will they think I am greedy for money....haha.

I think almost everyone has a similar experience and opinion on that.

In the first place, many do not like to opt for a marketing role. And many think that marketing is a kind of stigma where one has to beg in front of someone to sell their products, and when one does tha,t it comes at the expense of self-respect.

Setting aside this perception and/or stigma, what I personally feel is that marketing should always happen in a passive way, where two parties who wanna fulfill their needs through a trade/transaction come together in a passive way, with fluidity of data & interconnectedness, then the things will become more intresting for either party.

But fluidity of data does not develop in a day, for that we have to have the social profiling and needs, lifestyle habits of people. That is what big tech does and pushes those ads on YouTube or insta. "Being-in-the-world" in the digital area has been reduced to a series of clickable interactions, a philosopher has said this.

Very well said. Slowly, gradually I am gaining this confidence to be firm with my prices and not easily give into negotiations. Nowadays if someone bargains way too much with me, I ask them. If you are poor and cannot afford then let me know, I will give it to you for free.....haha. It's ok, i do not regret if I loose such customers.
