Brucie - sometimes refusing to back down and standing by your principles commands more respect.....
Quote by brucie
i had a meeting yesterday which ended badly with no agreement and a bigger gulf between the parties than at the begining of the meeting and loads of extra resentment.
i thought i was on a plane home tonight with nothing.
just had a call up to my room. come down to reception a couple of gentlemen here to see you.
i thought it was a hit...
basically it was a complete capitulation and u turn by the other side.
im still in shock to be honest. in all my years i have never seen anything like it. can somebody pinch me to make sure im not dreaming. or show me where the candid camera is?
biggrin

Do you just bung 'em up there?
Shouldn't you be singing at the Grand Ole Oprey? :dry:
Of course it did.
Brucie dear, I do trust you - absolutely nothing you say surprises me at all.

You can't have been negotiating for that long if it's such a shock. I find it's quite normal for a client to 'walk away' from a deal as a way to call your bluff. Most of the time they come back smile
I guess Chorley clients aren't so different to Nashville ones wink

Is Chorley a real place dunno
It reminds me of a fairy tale or cartoon and so things are just stories and not real confused
I think I'm thinking of Chorlton And The Wheelies :dunno: :lol2:
Strangely enough I had just though of the Wheelies too when I read that.
However I may not have been thinking clearly as I had only just returned to my gaff after helter-skeltering down the magic tree, gripping my Torch followed by the trusty Wordsworth.
Negotiate That!

Yep. Somewhat similar to an Eccles Cake but less flaky.

...but rarely a robust negotiated agreement in my experience. Negotiation is all about exploring the areas where the other side are able to compromise without giving away too much yourself. It's also bluddy good fun.
Still, I have been in similar horror situations to the one that brucie describes, but never with the U-turn outcome - no wonder yer dead chuffed.
.
if things are`nt going my way I just chuck the toys out the pram, stamp my feet very ,very hard and hold my breath...till i go red in the face ...that usually clinches the deal mad
