Trick to getting cheaper bw. - GoFuckYourself.com

xlogger · 02-28-2006, 02:22 PM

This is what i do right.

I go to WHT find a host (x) i like THEN i find their competitor (y). Lets say (x)'s hosting plan cost $800 i tell them (y) has quoted me for $500 (dont go crazy and say like 200, make it believable). Some companies sales teams are very tough, they know the ins and outs, you just have to be persistent. Almost always they give you hosting for $500.

I saved shit load on hosting this way. Why pay more than you have to right?

You pay $500 for hosting ? Wow ! Id sign you up straight away as well.

xlogger · 02-28-2006, 02:30 PM

no actually i pay $2500 right now, lol

500 was an example.

i thought negotiating was common knowledge? :S

V_RocKs · 02-28-2006, 02:44 PM

My hosting bill is already 2.7% of my net income... It should be even cheaper?

jjjay · 02-28-2006, 02:48 PM

instantly slash your hosting bill by unplugging your server. worked for me!

xlogger · 02-28-2006, 03:05 PM

Btw if anyone is looking for a new host i got the hookups. Cheap as hell because of free peering, great speeds ~70 pings to US.

known, by most......practiced, by very few.....

I think it was just a reminder, if all practiced, then shit would be cheaper in no time.....

Works for buying pretty much anything, cars, getting better interest rates. If you thought that was impressive, consider picking up a book on negotiation skills, you'd be surprised what a great skill it is to have.

Damn, i forgot! Everyone one gfy is a renowned negotiator and has two lambos in their garage.

Silly me!

After Shock Media · 02-28-2006, 03:22 PM

Still waiting for the trick.

Though I never used the deception portion. I just would tell company b here is what I am getting and it costs me this much, can you beat it? Then explain to company a that company b said they would only charge me X amount to go with them can they either match or beat it?
