Was I out of line?

I think I would ECHO that sentiment .....

 

LOL if they are so stupid as to say no to your rate, then post it for more, that's not on you.

Had one yesterday say they couldn't go over 5800. Saw it posted later for 7800. When they get desperate, prices do funny things.

 

I'm going to be a bad guy in this thread. I think you were out of line. Only because my word is my bond. If I said 1500. I would have stuck with it. To automatically assume the broker was lying. Is stereotypical. The broker may have been telling the truth and had to go back to his customer and tell them it wasn't moving for the rate.

Granted. I think the broker was wrong for disregarding what the boss said, too.

 

Always add into the conversation that the offer expires when the call ends.

 

I would of agreed when she pushed the 1500 but I would have raised my detention rate to 150/hr. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

 

That only goes so far. If she would have called back and asked if he would do 15 then fine. Stick to your word. But she posted for 16. She needs to stick to her word. Plain and simple. If you booked it for 12 and later saw it posted for 16. You should still do it for 12. It’s unprofessional to give it back just because you lost at the negotiating game. Just my humble opinion on the matter.

 

I wasn't directing the lying about it to you. Others said it.
