內容試閱:
In America and most Western countries people somehow feel funny about negotiating.They pay the full price rather than face the embar- rassment of negotiating.But in the Far East, Southeast Asia, India and Africa, negotiating is considered polite.If you negotiate, you get involved with people, you learn something about each other.It''s extremely rude in Java to pay the first price asked.It''s expected that one will banter back and forth two or three times before settling on a price.It''s part of the accepted social exchange.
An interesting note: In Indonesia it''s not buyer beware but seller beware.If you charge an unfair price you will be ostracized.It''s consid- ered very poor manners to charge too high a price.
In the Western world -- where the attitude is there''s a sucker born every minute -- remarkably, people are still embarrassed to question a price tag or a rate card even when it seems too high.But when they do, more often than not the price will be reduced.You can get a discount on a refrigerator at Sears or an Eclair at Camera Mart, but first you''ve got to ask.
Question every price.Could the price be lower? Assume it can.Don''t accept the first quote offered.Write it down.Don''t worry, it''ll still be there when you come back.In film and tape production, prices are more flexible than you might assume.Freelancers'' rates are flexible.So are rates at labs, equipment rental houses, and video editing facilities.You simply have to ask! It''s not unusual to receive anywhere from 5% to 50%.
Shop around.Check at least three sources for the same job or piece of equipment -- prices can vary tremendously.Once when we need- ed a special effect, we were quoted three prices: $4,500, $2,000, $600.Through these discussions we studied the effect and found a way to do it for $300.It finally cost 15 times less than the first estimate!
Give yourself time.Do the necessary research to find the best price and the best quality.If you are forced to do something right away for example, typeset titles on a Sunday, you will spend two or three times the normal price for "rush charges." Furthermore, with added pressure the job may not come out as well as you hoped.Rush shipping is usually an unnecessary waste.The difference between a next-day delivery $17 and same-day delivery $150 is significant.Leave enough time to do the job well.Plan ahead and save money.
