You’re in Gurgaon for a couple of months. You’ve taken a nice apartment on rent. And somebody also suggested you to get the furniture for the apartment on rental, rather than buying it. Great idea! How about if I give you some quick tips to get discounts on the rentals?
It starts and ends with negotiation
See you’re not going to get any discounts unless you ask for the same. And then you also need to ask with confidence. And then you also need to be persistent.
To negotiate well, you first need to do your homework – which starts with knowing the current furniture rentals. Call up a couple of companies that provide furniture on rent in Gurgaon. Browse through their websites. And you’ll get some idea about their charges.
Prepare a neat and clean list of furniture and electrical appliances that you’d need for your apartment in Gurgaon. Now call up those companies again. Tell them the kind of furniture and appliances you want and for how long. Let them have the sense that you know the rentals and are seeking a deal.
The rule of ‘say less, listen more’
The great negotiators are the ones who speak the least in their conversations. Their focus remains on results rather than who speaks more. When in conversation, make sure you listen to the short term furniture rental companies and what they’ve to offer. When they give you a quote, just go silent for a minute. You’ll get amazed at what that one minute silence does for you.
