    Oh you got to use that shit to your advantage. My ex partner and I would sometimes do this dance where she really likes something but doesn’t like the price. She would call me with a trigger phrase meaning to say no.

    So on speaker, I’d be like, “Huh. Are you sure? It doesn’t sound like a great deal. Maybe we should sit on it. I think it’d make more sense if it was like $x amount less.”

    The sales guy would often take this and come back with an amount that’s more reasonable. If my partner said the trigger phrase again, I’d stick to the no. Otherwise I’d agree.

    Fun times.
