Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?
Sitting all day by our desks, we decided to start a negotiation telling our vendor we only agreed to pay $2.00 on an item, little did we know right from the get go our vendor already offered a ridiculously low and fair price, we were totally embarrassed that we were negotiating for a lower price while we already got it. Let’s just say we sent virtual hugs to our vendor in appreciation of having our back.
