Haggle definition
Verb: to argue over the price or cost of something or a service between the salesman and the customer at the time of purchasing, bargain, negotiate, try to settle on price, dispute, quibble, barter, dicker
Noun: period of haggling or bargaining
Example
Start high and concede slowly. Competitive customers want to see a return on their negotiation investment. When you know that a customer wants to haggle, start off with something you can afford to lose. Obviously, game playing has its price. Not only do you train your customers to ask for concessions, you also teach them never to relax their guard on money matters. Still, when the client really wants to wheel and deal, you have little choice.
